If you can live a LONG life a debauchery, consider it a gift from god and know you are on the A list. If you live a short life of debauchery, you can pretty much bet you did something wrong and are being asked to start again.
I don't think anyone respects a person who changes teams when the victor is clear, do you? And one can make a lot of people happy with debauchery (just try to keep the broken hearts to a minimum).
Peace!

Being aware of your sin and continuing to do it means you are unrepentant for all of your life, you might not get to repent 5 minutes before the end of it.
Ultimately, we just can't say. but you'd be taking a risk. You'd have to ask yourself if you feel lucky.
Well do ya, punk?
Sorry, that had to be done.
If you think of it as debauchery, my guess is you don't lead such an outrageous life at all but instead like to shock and get all those religious types freaking out and trying to save your soul. sound familiar?

Whatever the Christian religion says about last-minute repentance being good enough to get you off in the eyes of God, I'm afraid that any people you harmed or offended on this earth might be less forgiving. If you decide to go for it nevertheless, be sure to get the timing right, won't you. Five minutes is soon up.

Depends on if you hurt anyone while being debauched.
If during your last 5 minutes of life you are genuinely sorry for how you lived then you would be forgiven. But what are the chances of you being GENUINELY sorry at that point having lived a whole life without giving a damn?
Even if on your deathbed you felt sorry, God would know if you really meant it. He would be able to see how you would behave should you make a micarculous recovery and if your last minute change of heart meant anything.
Forgiveness is only for those that are truly sorry, not for those that simply ask for it.

Sound good to me!
Is it all religons, or have I got to enrol with the Christians.
Where do I join and how long does it take to get a membership card.

If you're planning it, no, because the plan would pretty much negate the sincerity of any repentance.
Good try, though.
I'm also happy for you that you know exactly when the end of your life will be.

Yes you can. Ask anyboy who is Born Again. You could be a serial killer and be forgiven. They're weird people.
