It seems like we could say “Well, I can always suffer for my own sins later, so I might as well play around in Babylon now and suffer later and still go to heaven”. It is clear in D&C 76 that we must accept Christ and His atonement in order to qualify for the celestial kingdom. Though cleanliness and justice are active principles, obedience and humility are also. Suffering for our own sins will never replace the acceptance of Christ in eternal destiny.
