"If we also consider only the present moment is real, then past X and future X don't exist. Since it is impossible that the same person exists and does not exist, we conclude present X and past X are different persons."
I cannot agree with your logic here, you have stated past X does not exist, then in the next sentence you say it is a different person than present X (implying that it does exist and can be compared and contrasted). I don't belive that there is a meaningful conclusion to be had by comparing something real (present X) to something nonexistent (past X) in any case.
