I've accepted Jesus as my Savoir and I love God too. I'm not perfect, far from it but I do try to get along with people and I am kind to others. My down side is that I still use profanity from time to time and I don't always go to church like I should. I do try to pray every day and Jesus is still in my heart. I worry that I won't get there though because I was told I could lose my salvation. It's hard trying to be perfect. I wonder every day if I am doing something that is not good in God's eyes such as listening to rock-n roll and rap but I do also listen to Christian music. I'm just wondering that there might be a sin that I haven't asked for forgiveness for and God won't let me in. Sorry this is so long, but it's really bothering me.

I also like to watch Bewitched and I dream of Jeanie and sopa operas. I know you might laugh at this but some of the churches out there will condem you for watching that stuff. To be honest, I love those shows.

LOL flawless was a name I made along time ago and your right, it does show pride but that wasn't why I made that name. I just liked it and I thought it sounded cool. As far as me bearing good fruits, I am very good to people. I give to the poor and I try to help people. I'm not perfect though.

No, you are Flawless. The best that can a person can come in one package. You go girl.
Do what you think is best. That is what count after all.
We all are perfect in our own rights, and so are you. We do some mistakes here and there, but in the end we all are perfect. Never forget that. If you believe in God, then you must believe that God only create perfection, and so are you.

Bless your heart. Yes you will go to heaven. Do you love God/Jesus with all your heart and love others? Do you follow the 10 commandments? Do you try to live your life as Christ would? You are a Christian. We ALL mess up. We will NEVER be perfect but should always strive for perfection. We all need to surrender and confess our sins every day because as flawed humans - we sin every day. Don't let this bother you anymore. Satan is attacking your mind right now. Rest assured that you are doing what you are supposed to do. Jesus doesn't want us to live in a state of fear everyday. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. It sounds like you have done that already. Your life sounds just like mine. I struggle with this too. It is a daily surrendering of your will, your mind and your trespasses. God Bless You.

I believe that Jesus died for all of our sins, and when we ask Him that first time to come into our life and forgive all our sins, that it covers every single one we will ever commit, but i do not believe in "once saved always saved." Repentance should still be a part of everyday life, we have to show God how sorry we are, and that we are trying to turn away from our sinful nature. I also believe that as long as we are seeking God and desiring to put Him first in all we do, the things of this world will fall away and we will have no desire to have sin in our life at all. God does not expect us to be perfect, the bible says that "their is none righteous, no not one" and also that a "man's heart is deceitful above all things" but he does expect us to follow Him and try our best to "be holy, as [He] is holy."
Whenever you start to question your salvation, remember the verse, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." And remember to take all things to God in prayer, talk to Him about how you feel, and ask Him to open your eyes so that you can see what great things He is doing in your life each day.
I have recently realised how many things are sin in God's eyes, and I am constantly apologizing for them, but just because we slip up sometimes does not mean we are not Christians anymore, it just means that we are human. I listen to a lot of different music like you too, so as a test I completely removed secular music from my life for about two or three weeks, and I really could see a difference, but I confess that I gave in and now listen to secular music all the time. I'm not sure myself whether this is a sin, but I do know that the Bible tells us to think upon only things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report.
Sorry if my answer was long and too confusing, your question was complex so I tried to give you a detailed answer. If you are confused about anything or have any more questions, feel free to contact me.

No one is perfect, but as long as you believe, you should be alright.
Try to do good everyday and if you can't do anything, pray for someone else, it still counts.
When you go to confession and you are unsure if you've missed anything ask for forgiveness for the sins of Omission and any other sin that you can't remember, but God knows you've done.
Don't be so hard on yourself, don't live in the past, just work at it a little every day and don't look back.

"I've accepted Jesus as my Savoir and I love God too...."
You've answered your own question. This is all that is required for salvation. The changing of your life and renewal of your mind comes AFTER this. It is a natural progression of your profession of faith, of your trust in Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior.
You will never be perfect. If you could be, you would have no need for a Savior. The key is to be repentant of your sin and seek the Lord to change your life.
The only sin that will keep you from Heaven is to reject Jesus' Lordship & Salvation.

If you have accepted Jesus as your Saviour, then you are (according to The Free Dictionary) "delivered from the power or penalty of sin; redemption" so yes you will go to Heaven.
Also, The Bible says this in Romans 8:1
"Hence, now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death." It basically means, don't beat yourself up. We are all human, we all make mistakes, and no one will ever be perfect.
as long as you try to do what is right, God will honor that.

Yes, you will. You have accepted Jesus, and you do your best to follow Him. No one said that you had to try to be perfect. That would be impossible. All you need to do is to accept Jesus and to do your best.
I listen to rock, rap, etc. I don;t go to church every Sunday by any means. God knows your heart. You're cool.
The rest of us Christians are the same as you are.
God bless!

I was about to respond with a smart-a$$ answer, but I can see your question is genuine and deserves a genuine response.
According to the Christian faith, if you have accepted Christ as your savior, you are saved... period. You merely need to ask for God's forgiveness and it will be received, this is throughout the NT. Going to church is not a prerequisite for going to heaven. Some believe you can lose your salvation, others do not, it is a contested issue. But Paul tells us that we have a reasonable assurrance of salvation. If your sins are forgiven, if you actively seek Christ, you will enter heaven. God is not up there with a scorecard marking you up for every thing you do wrong. What did Christ himself say you needed to do be enter his kingdom? Believe in him and seek forgiveness for your sins. Read Romans 7, Paul himself struggled with sin, but then we read in Romans 8 that we have all we need for salvation in Christ. The very fact that you are worrying about this shows your faith is genuine, don't worry yourself to death, eternal life was promised for those who place their faith in Christ.

There is no way you can lose your salvation. If you have truly been saved. Right now I would say that satin is trying to make you miserable by telling you lies. So pray to God and ask him to help you with your walk and being in defense agents the enemy. I would really encourage you to go to church weekly so that you can understand what God's word has to say. And also to read the Scripture.

Jesus says that all those that call on me will receive eternal life. So you are saved if you believe Jesus will account for your sins. You should try better to serve God, and walk as an example for others to imitate, but it is not necessary to be saved. You should be ashamed of your sins and try your best to avoid them. We are told to turn from sin.
