Judges 12:5, "And it happened that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, 'Let me cross over' the men of Gilead would say to him, 'Are you an Ephraimite?' If he said no, then they would say to him 'say now shibboeth', but he said 'sibboleth' for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slew him ..."
Just as everyone who wishes to cross-over to heaven's gates, we ought to be found pronouncing our allegience with utmost loyalty according to God's standards. Can our mouths profess that "Jesus is Lord"? Lord--that indeed He is Lord in my early life and that I have loved him and obeyed him faithfully?
