None. There is no Heaven. Sin is an outdated concept anyway. Instead of blindly trying to follow lists of rules others give you, which were created thousands of years, try thinking for yourself. You have a brain. I'm sure you can figure out what works and what doesn't in this society. There are real reasons to do some things and not others, other than "God said so".

First of all any sin keeps us out of heaven- unless we do one thing- accept Christ as the one who paid the payment for our sin that we could never pay- once a believer- we should desire not to sin at all. As we grow in our faith- we should want above all else to become more like Him everyday. Grace is free- through Christ's payment on the cross- but it is not cheap. There are many people who say "Lord, Lord" and will not enter heaven. Being a Christian is not just a "free ticket" to heaven, it is Christ's righteousness living in and through you.

The punishment for sin is spiritual death or you can call it hell if you want, which according to the Bible is called second death after your body dies. No matter what other people think, there is still life after death and God is real and He is alive.
John 3:16 says: `God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son (Jesus Christ) so everyone who believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.`This means that you can`t getaway with this much or that much sin, but it means- ALL your sins can be forgiven-past, present and future.The condition is to believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised Him from the death. There is no other way and no other name under which you can be saved.
If you have a Bible you can check it out for yourself, and if not, email us and we`ll send you one. Start the Gospel of John, it talks about love.
I used to ask similar quetions as well as what`s my purpose of living and this bothered me for many years until I was introduced to Jesus . Now all my questions are answered and I feel very clean because of God`s love mercy an kindness.
And if you still don`t believe, you can actually ask God if He is real to prove it to you and reveal yourself to you.

If you are a Christian that question is not an issue. A Christian asks, "How far can I get away from sin?" not how close can I get to it. Getting to heaven has absolutely nothing to do with how much sin is in your life, it has entirely to do with your faith in Jesus Christ.

Here's the rub, dude:
If you're trying to get away with alot, it proves you're not born again, and you ain't going anywhere but 6 feet under.
If you're born again, that's your ticket into the next life because you have a piece of God's immortality growing inside you. That thing growing inside you is what empowers you to resurrect and it also empowers you to stop sinning. As time goes by, sins will disgust you.

everyone will go to heaven friend to get judged but the question is where do you stay, do you stay in heaven or do you have the savior jesus christ, we need a savior today friend wont you accept him today. if you are a believer it does not give you a license to sin, god will still judge the sin of the believer it is just that his sin has ultimately been paid by jesus.

Sin is not allowed in heaven you must be purified before entering. Those who love God but imperfectly go to purgatory and depending on your ways here on earth will determine how long you remain there until you are purified to see God face to face

None. Sin is not a scoring system. It was defined for us in the Bible as a way to know we had rejected God.
Only by accepting God's gift of redemption through Jesus Christ can the penalty of sin be removed from our account

After you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you try to live as Jesus lived, without sin. No we cannot do this, but we should strive to do it. He died for our sins. We, as Christians can be forgiven if we ask Jesus to forgive us and strive to live sin free. I know that Jesus loves me and he will forgive me if and when I do slip up and commit a sin. I thank God regurarly that He sent His Son to die on the cross for me.
