It seems you can sin as much as you want and still get into Heaven as long as you truly accept Jesus Christ into your heart. Do I have that right? Is this a loophole in the system?

If you repent of your sins He is faithful and just to forgive you.
However the closer you press your life to Him and His will for you, the more time you spend with Him in prayer, and seeking out His Word and living among people who show forth the fruits of living their lives for Him, the less you desire to offend Him by sinning.
Sin looses its appeal as you grow closer to the heart of the Beloved. It is still impossible to be sin free but you desire more and more to please God and not dissappoint Him.

answer: No, you don't have anything to educate us over. STOP TRYING - your ARROGANCE is pitiful and you are abusing the forum 1) Jesus was not the Jewish Messiah 2) Jesus was not a prophet for Jews 3) Divine birth/divinity (the Jewish Messiah will NOT be divine. He will be human.) G-d cannot become human: Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 44:6, Hosea 11:9, Ezekiel 28:2, Numbers 23:19 Performing Miracles – the Jewish Messiah will NOT perform miracles but will accomplish them Taking on the sins of others: no one can take on the sins of others: Deuteronomy 24:16, Exodus 32:30-35, Ezekiel 18:1-4, 20-24; 26-27 Breaking the Sabbath – the Jewish Messiah will be observant. Sacrificed/Rising from the dead: G-d rejects human sacrifice and blood sacrifice is NOT an absolute requirement for the absolution of sin – Deuteronomy 12:30-31, Jeremiah 19:4-6, Psalm 106:37-38, Ezekiel 16:20, Leviticus 5:11-13, Jonah 3:10, Leviticus 17, Leviticus 5:11-13, Numbers 16:47, Numbers 31:50, Isaiah 6:6-7, Jeremiah 7:22-23, Psalm 51:16-17. There will be no rising from the dead until the Messianic Age. The Jewish Messiah won’t be a sacrifice that has to rise from the dead. Prophecies Unfilled – the Jewish Messiah will accomplish ALL the prophecies in one lifetime. The Jewish Messiah cannot trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17, Jeremiah 22:18, 30). But according to Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel Communion – the ‘last supper’ – No Jew would ever call upon followers and fellow Jews to even symbolically consume blood and flesh. (Leviticus 17) Jesus is worshiped – the eternal covenant between G-d and Jews is that Jews will worship G-d and only G-d and G-d does not become a man. Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9, 1 Samuel 15:29, Job 9:32-33, Ezekiel 28:9, Hosea 4:15, Malachi 3:6 thanks to What Jews Believe website, Mama P and tweaking of my own (Aravah) No dice - YOU are not reading. The Jewish Messiah will NOT be divine, will NOT be "G-d's son", will NOT be the G-d of Abraham and is NOT the Christian G-d. Is that clear enough?

We'll always be sinners as long as were in this world. If we truly accept Jesus Christ as Savior we'll go to Heaven. But if we go ahead and sin at will and don't care, that's evidence that we didn't really accept Jesus Christ.
Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is a very personal thing. Nobody can say if you have really done that except you and God. If your playing the angles, scamming, and finding loopholes in the system you'll know that you didn't really turn to Jesus because the Holy Spirit will convict you in your heart. Maybe no other person will know- you could even become TV Evangelist or even Pope- but you and God will know.

When I accepted Christ as my Savior, He did not die so that I can sin and get away with it. He died to free me from sin- so that I would not sin. This does not mean though that we will never sin again, but it does mean that if we are truly a born again believer, we will repent immediately- and He is faithful to forgive. If you just say you accept Christ, to get a free ticket to heaven, and then willfully continue to sin, it is doubtful that you were really saved in the first place. God knows our hearts. REPENT- means turn from your sin back to God. If we use Christ's death just as a license to sin, then it becomes cheap grace

Well now think about it. By grace you are accepted into the kingdom of heaven if you accept Jesus. But by committing a numerous amounts of sins you begin to close yourself off from Jesus. Yes, you can sin as much as you want, anyone can, but in doing so you may chose not to accept Jesus, It's up to us.

No, you can't keep sinning if you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Jesus gives you a new heart, you are a new creation.
When you repent that means you turn away from sin.
Surely we will never be perfect, and God knows that.
That's why He sent Jesus. The blood of Christ washes us clean.

Not at all! Accepting Christ as your savior means that God has washed away your past present and future sins. and nothing has the power to keep you out of heaven if you have accepted Him.
and its not a loophole. if you have accepted Him you should be stuggling not to sin and the Holy Spirit allows you to do so. though you will sin, your concience will catch it

When you accept Jesus as your personal saviour and get baptized and partake in communion you are born again. With that being said you have started a new life and this means that you need to start a closer relationship with God. Yes he understands that we are still of the flesh but if you stay in the word and pray then God will take care of you.

No. You cannot just "up and change your mind" and there is the free pass into heaven. You must TRULY accept Jesus as your Lord and savior. If that happens after you have lived a truly heinous life out side of God, then yes of course Jesus will forgive you. God is always waiting, always loving. To live your life waiting for the get out of jail card is not going to save you though. It's not an abracadabra moment. You must truly feel it.

No
True faith in Jesus and acceptance of Him in your heart will lead you to a holier life evidenced by a marked decrease (certainly not an increase) in active sinfulness.
Salvation is based on your heart and the truth therein. If you :accept" Jesus just to get a ticket to Heaven, God will certainly be aware of your true nature and judge you accordingly.
