Not hardly. You shouldn't do those things anyway. But if you do those things you are definitely not a Christian.
God doesn't even hear prayers from the wicked people.
Matthew 7:22 Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name?
That one
He said get away from me you workers of lawlessness. I never knew you.
So he doesn't even recognize their existance.

Of course.... Guess you don't know much about this like this at all..... For example, you think you can't gamble because you are a Christian; however, you don't know that some priests and nuns gamble they gamble after they finish their job (and no one says anything about it at all)....... By the way, in case you still want to know a little bit more.... You can be homosexual, bisexual, or straight without the worry of your religion; you think I'm crazy, however, Do you know that some priests do have sex with boys when they aren't at their work (sounds like Michael Jackson.... isn't it?), even nuns can have sex with the same gender or opposite gender without any problem...... So you know that you can be a Christian, and you can still do things that the Bible stated as "bad", "evil"...etc.

Christians have a responsibility to flee from sin. Gambling, adultery, cursing, beating your wife, witchcraft, etc. are all sins.

There are different kinds of Christians. To some Christians, Christianity is a system of moral and ethical principles, so to be a Christian you must live a moral life, or at least make an effort. To other Christians it's a belief system so you are saved by having the proper beliefs, and it doesn't matter how you live.
Consequently some of the best and worst people call themselves Christians. Some are -good- and became Christians because they wanted to be -good-. Others are more or less ammoral and feel that Christianity doesn't have anything to do with the way they behave.

No absolutely not.
Christian means like Christ. Christ never did any of the above infact those things are foreign to the Holy Spirit and if you are a Christian then you will not live by the dictates of the flesh but by the directions of the Holy Spirit of Jesus. The attributes of the Holy Spirit are LOVE, JOY, PEACE PATIENCE KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF CONTROL. Against such there is no law.
At times as a christian, you may find yourself falling into the sins you mentioned above but you should not remain in that state. Ask the Lord for forgiveness and he will forgive u clear your records and empower you to do what is right.

Legally, as shocking this might sound You can call yourself the pope. You can do What You want and God will not stop You. You know why? You have Free will! He gave you that right.
But to be allow in the Kingdom of God YOU have to make a free will decision to leave or stop the practices of SIN. Become a Real Christian......

They make think themselves Christians, but in reality their personal moral code is bankrupt just like almost all of the religions today. They have a code of conduct not in line with what God has set before them to follow and by not following that code of conduct they fail. Very simple really.

Tough question. If you can do all these things and not want to change or feel remorse for doing them because you know that they are sins then I don't think you are saved. If you have a serious problem with each of these things and pray for God to help you and try everything you can to stop doing them then you may be saved but are in deep bondage to sin. I don't want to judge but I would really question if I am saved if I am doing all the things you listed.

No. If you were a true christian, you could not do those things. (Well, you could buy a lottery ticket, or say a bad word if you hit your thumb with a hammer or somethin... Blast Feemin just comes naturally, somehow. Then ya gotta ask for forgiveness, or at least be sorry...

You seem to be under the common misconception that witchcraft is evil. Its’ not the magick that’s evil it’s how the person uses it. Fire is not evil, it’s those who burned people at the stake that are evil.
