Is it OK to live in sin if you have accepted Jesus as your 'savior'?

No. If you have ever read the Gospel of John, when Jesus met Mary Magdaline (The prostitue) he forgave her then said "Go and sin no more".
The Bible tells us throughout the New Testement that we are to forsake the life of sin. The word CHRISTIAN literally means "Christ Like". Would Jesus live in sin? Have you seen the letters WWJD? It means "What Would Jesus Do?" Think about that every time you have a moral decision.
You've been forgiven. Go and sin no more.

The purpose of accepting Jesus as your savior is to try your best to commit unto his ways. You accept him to following his path into a sinless life. Yes, we are not perfect but knowing what ur doing is a sin effects ur relationship more so with Jesus because he wants you to learn from ur mistakes and not do it again. I would say that it's not OK to live in sin you want to strive to live with him after this life, so do right by him....good luck hun...=)

We all sin each and every day. No getting around it, Christian or not. The difference is that with the savior, one makes attempts not to sin when one knows that something is a sin.
I think it's more productive to focus on God's love rather than continuing to focus on sin. Sin doesn't get us anywhere and neither does focusing on it. Focus on love instead because love covers a multitude of sins.

No it not OK. What about your testimony before the lost? How could you tell others about the Lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross for your sins when you are still living in them. Romans 6: 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6: 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

If you have truly accepted Jesus, you won't want to live in sin. That is one of the signs of being born again, you don't want to sin.

It says in the Bible that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, however it also says that we should strive to be Christ-like. No one is ever going to acheive that, but we are to try our hardest which includes trying our hardest not to sin. God knows that we will never be able to live without sin it is our nature, that is why he sent Jesus to die for us, so we could be forgiven.

Most Christians think it is ok to do anything once they have "accepted Jesus as their savior." So...why not?

no, but you don't become a non sinner when you are saved.If you are living with someone -marry them.Ask forgiveness and repent.

I wouldn't advise it just because it doesn't work out well.
