Thanks!
The only way you can lose your salvation is to commit the Unpardonable Sin.

When you truly get Born again you become a new person. You will have no desire to want to live in sin. You will want to live your life pleasing jesus. You will have a desire to pray, read your Bible, go to church, and tell others about Jesus.You can"t enjoy sin if you are saved. God will chasten you. He says, my sheep know my voice. You will repent, and live for Jesus. You will not be perfect, but we must put on the whole armor of God. The Bible says to resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Or turn and walk away. If you choose to go away from the Lord He will call you to come back but you're under no compulsion to listen.
Jim Jones was a born again Assemblies of God pastor and he let himself get led away little by little with small stuff and most people didn't even realize until he started doing the big stuff that he'd gotten away from the Lord....I'm sure the Holy Spirit tried to convict him and he didn't listen.

What do you mean by everything else wrong? If you have that relationship with Christ then it's okay if you don't know everything there is to know about the Bible and if you sin (which all Christians do since no one is perfect but him) you'll realize that what you are doing is wrong and you'll change with God's help. If Christ lives within you you'll go to heaven when you die.

No, salvation does not mean you have permission to live like hell the rest of your life, and then expect heaven.
Paul says, "Or can we say-as some people slander us by claiming that we say-"Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is deserved!" (Romans 3:8)
John agrees by saying, "The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the devil has been sinning since the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy the works of the devil. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God's seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God." (I John 3:8-9)

If true then then that would mean that Heaven could have a large number of bad people who believe in Jesus and Hell could have a large number of good people who don't believe in Jesus.
Doesn't seem very reasonable to me.

No, sin cannot enter into Heaven
God hates sin!
You have to get it right here,
Paul said I die daily.........
Meaning sin died every day
The wages of sin is death but the Gift of
God is eternal life...............
Sin revived and I died.........
So we kill sin again and again,
We overcome again and again
We are made more than conqueror's
Through Christ who loved us and gave
himself for us............
He that overcometh shall inherit all things
And I will be their God and they will be my
people.............

that's not the point-you are supposed to not want to sin on purpose...and when you do you should repent. It's not like a free pass.

If you are TRULY born again you would be trying to do the right thing! We would have a Christ like attitude and be trying to bring others to Him!

Salvation is pretty easy to achieve, pretty hard to maintain.

Heaven is a mythological place.
