Sure why not? The Catholic church believes you can be a pedophile and still be a priest so go for it.

I think it depends on your mindset. If you are a Christian and you sin by making a bad choice or allowing yourself to be tempted then you have to repent for that sin. Sinning will separate you from God, but through repentance you can get back. Furthermore, if you do repent you should do your best not to commit the sin again. Repentance loses it's effectiveness if you do it over and over and over.
If your mindset is that you are going to have premarital sex because you don't believe it's wrong or because you think God won't mind then I believe you would be living in sin and wouldn't "inherit God's kingdom". This would be sinning without repentance or remorse. Of course if you lived this way for a while, but saw the errors of your ways one day, it would never be too late. It's just risky to live this way because no person knows the day that they will leave this Earth.
Do your best to please God. Pray to him daily in Jesus' name. If you fall short, which all people do, ask forgiveness sincerely in Jesus' name and you will be forgiven. There is no sin that is so great that Jesus' blood cannot cover it. God bless.

No for the Bible mentions fornication at Galatians 5:19,20 as being part of the works of the flesh and it states that those that practice such things will not inherit God's kingdom. Works of the flesh is the opposite of fruitage of the spirit of God and that which is an opposition to God is definitely not good. Mark 7:21-23 says that fornication comes from within a person, your heart, and can defile you. Something that can defile you can destroy you, so again not good. In fact, Christians are counseled to deaden his body as respects to fornication at Colossians 3:5. For that reason, 1 Corinthians 6:18,19 tells Christians to flee from fornication. Again NO true Christians..nor male or females would be considered by God to be a Christian if he is engaging in premarital sex.....God is a forgiving God but he wants his servants to be clean without defilement....
Notice the wickedness of fornication is showed by its being mentioned at Matthew 15:19,20 along with murder, thievery, wicked reasoning, false testimony, and blasphemy. This is in indication of just how serious it is to God.

well you can still be a christian. but if you know that it's wrong and you still do it anyways then it becomes a problem. having premarital sex is a sin just like lying and if you know that lying is wrong and against god and continue to do it over and over again then i'm not sure if you can call yourself a TRUE Christian.

A woman of The True Christian Faith knows she should not... but every one is susceptible to that temptation... and many fail... there is no such thing as a perfect Christian within this mortal world... we all just have to try as best we can to not fall victim to temptation... It is not sin that keeps any one from entering heaven... it is rejecting God... and no one of The True Christian Faith would ever do that.... regardless of any other temptation they might succumb to.

To be saved you must believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he came to earth to save us.
Christ lived, died and was raised again to save the world from sin. His death was the atonement for all the sin that was and ever will be committed in the world.
As a believer/ Christian nothing that you do can erase what Christ did for humanity.
Not to say that God will be pleased that you are disregarding the sacrifice made by His only Son to get your grove on.
But you will still be a Christian.

*True* Christians still sin, regardless of what anyone tells you. We shouldn't go around sinning just because we can, but God understands that we are not perfect. Although it may not be the best thing for a Christian to do -- because it damages your testimony and credibility when you try to witness to others -- its really between you and God. Even true Christians are susceptible to temptation. If we could get to Heaven all on our own, what would we need Jesus for?

Only the Unpardonable Sin can Seperate you From Jesus for Eternity again.
Fornication is not the Unpardonable Sin.
BUT you will Put into Action "Spiritual Laws" and you will Reap what you have Sown.
In other Words, you will Operate those Laws for Curse's, and yes, bad will come back to ya.
If you fornicate Too Much, you will Cause GOD to have to Judge you Personally.
Ditto................

can a person sin and still be a Christian, oh yes. We are ALL sinners. I know of someone who did just that, and now she is a single mother. Forgiven yes, but there are still consequences for sin.

Sure, why not most Christians are "victims" of what Adam & Eve did. They can't help it, and if they "believe" what there are "told" they will "go" to heaven some time in the "future".

She can but it will destroy her relationship with the Lord....It is a sin (fornication with an unmarried male or adultery with a married male)
I know from experience that it is wrong. And now I'm in-love with a wonderful man who has asked me to marry him and I wish that I could give him a special gift for our wedding night, that would be his alone.
