Jesus said 'Go and sin no more'-Know that God is not to be played or pushed around-Jesus had a relationship with us sinners, his intentions are that all go to heaven, but the soul to be saved must also have good intentions and a a true desire to live their life in a Godly manner. Where is your heart really at? We all fall short of the glory of God, thats why God sent Jesus to save us, but we all l must have a true yearning for Him too. Dont push your luck. Read the Book of Job and you will see God's mercy. Read the Book of John and you will know how to get to heaven! Praying for you..........

Luke 7:47 - 8:1 47 "Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little." 48 Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50 Then He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
Once a person is truly changed by the Holy Spirit from the inside out his heart is changed. He is a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
The difference between a person who has not been changed by the Holy Spirit and the person who has been regenerated by believing in the Jesus Christ is this: A true believer of Jesus Christ will always desire to please God no matter what. He may fall into sin because of his weakness but the Bible says God doesn't count our sins against us.
Romans 4:8 8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him."
Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
Paul's answer to the accusation above is not a prohibition but an impossibility. He who is truly born of God cannot continue to sin. But even if he sins God doesn't count his sins against him. Now you may argue and say that it will give the person the license to sin. The verses above says otherwise. He who knows he is forgiven much will love God much. How can our sins affect God? It cannot. It will only destroy us. God is God. He cannot change. He is holy and perfect. He judged our sins in the body of Jesus Christ and a crime cannot be tried twice. God is not and will not be angry with you. It is God's love and not His wrath that leads people to repentance.
Romans 2:4 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?
Romans 6:17-18 17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. 18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

it's not how much you can get away with it is where your heart truly lies. If you are living in sin and keep repenting everytime you do it, who are you living for then? the world. Your heart has to be on the right track and mindset. If you were a Christian then you would want to be on that mindset. From this question it just seems like you want to go to heaven and still live "of this world". Stay focused on God and keep him your priority. Please Him and stay strong in your faith.

The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, and if you had Him living in your heart, you wouldn’t be trying to do bad things just to get away with them. Now if you are talking about things you did before you accepted Christ, well then those things have already been forgiven when you accepted Christ. †

If that's your attitude and goal...to get away with things, i/e sins. I don't think you need to worry about going to Heaven.

You can't break any of the 10 commandments and you have to be a religious person. If you want to know how much you can get away with, you are probably not right for Heaven. If i was St. Peter, i would deny your application just for asking this question.

You MUST be born again in order to gain entry into heaven.
