Sorry Jill wrong. Read the bible. Christ is clear that ANYBODY who continues in their sinful ways and does not repent and change their lives is hellbound.

There is a dangerous philosophy out there that proposes that "once saved always saved", which lends a person to think "this means I can do as I please", this is not so. A person who repents and is reborn is required from then onto live as we were told. Falling through sin, means repenting and receiving forgiveness from the saving blood of Jesus Christ and getting up again. Christ's blood is not a one off event, but outside of all time.

IT does not mean doing what one wishes and using Christ's redemption on the cross as a one way ticket to Heaven regardless of how one lives. God stated "NOt all who cry Lord, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father". Many will also remind God that they preached in His name, healed in His name, cast our devils in his name" and he will say "I know you not, depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire". These are people who have decided that they can preach and be saved and continue in personal ongoing sin are in for a terrible shock. Christianity is not the easy road and is an ongoing struggle against temptation and the world and it must start from change within. We cannot fool God, even if we might fool those around us who may think us "holy". "call no man good until he is dead". IN other words, it is possible for anybody to fall from grace and leave Christ at anytime, as it is possible for a sinner to come to the saving grace of Christ.. . However, it is far from advisable to ever rely on the last moment because so often people are snatched away from life unexpected. People usually die as they live and God gives every human being the opportunity to be saved.

Please do not judge everybody on the "once saved always saved, and i can do whatever I want" rubbish.
So basically the bible puts the fear of god into you that you will burn, and makes people be good because of divine retribution?
That was ok in the dark ages or older times, when there was more anarchy, but now we have laws and more order (at least in the US) and it is not needed to follow an old book written by men to get you into heaven.
Im not saying just dont worry about it and go murder people if you feel like it, but you don't have to leave like a monk
I respect more christians that follow more the new testament rather than outdated passages in the bible.

Oh and the christians trying to disprove evolution, too many delude themselves into thinking that evolution destroys creationism, which is not true. Science is not even close to telling us how everything was created.
