As long as you say you're sorry later you'll be forgiven?

The correct answer to your question according to the bible is that, yes! You may sin as much as you want(except blaspheming the holy ghost) and as long as you ask for forgiveness you are in. Nowhere in the bible does it say you only get to do X number of sins before Jesus' sacrifice will be voided.
That's right Jeffery Dahmer and Adolph Hitler are in heaven, but people like Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and the 6 million Jewish people Hitler killed are being eternally tortured by an all loving god....praise the sweet name of Jesus.
How can anyone worship such a god that set the system up like this is beyond me.

You must be truly sorry for your sins and be serious about changing your life and not sin anymore. If you are sincere in your sorrow for your sins and sincere in your resolce to not sin again, you are forgiven, even if you slip up and commit the same sin again.
Being saved means that you try your hardest not to sin again and again. Being saved does not mean you get permission to sin as much as you want. It means you can be forgiven as much as you need.

Jesus said it would be even worse for a person to knowingly sin than it is for a person to sin because he doesnt know any better. if you sin on purpose and then repent then your not sincere in your repentance and GOD Knows that. All the right words in the world can't hide your true intent. It is a mistake to think you can fool your Father in heaven.

Salvation is not a liscense for you to go on sinning. When you repnet it means that you are turning away from your sinful nature if in case you have not then you have not really repented. When Jesus forgive the sins he always says "Your sins are forgiven go & sin no more".

Repent means to be sorry that you did it. You are confessing that you did it, but you don't seem to be repenting of it. Also, God talks about sinning unto death. This means that if you keep sinning in such a way that it is hindering the message of Christ, God will take you home rather than let you cause more trouble.

NO - In that case the sin is intended. If u commit a mistake then u can be forgiven. But to sin means that u have done it with an evil intention - so there is no excuse - u will not be saved

No. When you repent of your sins to be saved you're also commiting yourself to follow God. So you can't follow him and sin all you want. If that's how you feel then you haven't truly repented. When you're really saved you will become a new person.

No.
You may repent of your sins and not accept Jesus Christ. That's the key part. You have to accept Jesus.
It is not a license to sin freely. The Bible is also clear on that part, that if you continue to walk willfully, deliberately and with malice aforethought in sin, the blood will not be shed a second time. Jesus will continue to forgive us of our sins, but we must truly be sorry.
If you repented and were not sincere, there is no forgiveness.

Repent = Realize the seriousness of sin and stop the sinning in that area.

No! What shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God Forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were Baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should walk in newness of life.
Did you see that newness of life! After you have obeyed the gospel according Acts 2:38. You should no longer continue in sin. Strive for holiness separation from the World dedication towards God. This can be done through obedience to God's word!
Trust and Obey for there is no other way to be Happy in Jesus but to Trust and Obey!
