A false witness is a liar.
A false witness is a person.
God hates liars
God does not hate anyone?
Read this Mr Know It All
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. (Romans 9:13 KJV)
Got that?
Do you know what Esau symbolizes?

Oh keep your church analysis of what Esau was to yourself.

You. You say
- only those with the Holy Spirit can do good works
- therefore only they will enter the Kingdom of God
That doctrine is faulty.
Who says this!
I've shared with you several times that those without the Spirit of God cannot please God.
A straight forward reading of scripture informs of this. Only those with God's Spirit belong
to God, you it seems want to put off this belonging to God, walking out our lives doing the
good works He has for us until after the end of this life on judgment day. If you don't
belong to God before that, you will not after you die on judgment day either.
Romans 8:7-9 English Standard Version (ESV)
7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

Well some like King Cyrus and Rahab the harlot, had no Holy Spirit, but they did good works . Some again Judas and Annanias and Sapphira did evil and they had the Holy Spirit. So something is not quite right about your doctrine.
In any case, Holy Spirit or not, Jesus says how he will judge people and who enters the Kingdom of God. .. and sadly for you ...[text shortened]... ousness.
Nobody will be able to say "Lord I have the Holy Spirit .. Im in !!! " ... LOL 😀
By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
2 Chronicles 36:23
“Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him. Let him go up.’”
God honors faith, but again the unbelieving don't have faith in God, those that outright
reject Him. These were OT times too, the Holy Spirit had yet been given to anyone
at that time including the Jewish people. The Spirit came upon people, unlike now where
we are given the Holy Spirit to walk out our lives with Him.

God honours works.
Faith alone is nothing
Works alone is better than faith alone.
Of course the ideal is both faith and works

Of course the ideal is both faith and works
without which you do not belong to God. If you are not obeying God, no Holy Spirit in
your life.

And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
(Matthew 5:3-9 KJV)
The Good Samaritan was obeying God.
The Priest and Levite was not obeying God .. and those where people of faith
