Absolutely!!! There are some who believe that "I am saved" therefore "I can do as I wish". One of the most heretical lies I've heard yet and one of the most dangerous. Many buy into it though because it makes them feel good...To me it's playing games with salvation, games with Christ's offering and games with ones soul. Yes some really do think this is a one-way ticket straight to Heaven which is completely wrong. Yes, christ's blood was shed for all and those who would accept His offering for their sins, would be saved. Does this mean we can then live in sin? NO. Christ warned against those who profess with the mouth, but live in sin.
Repent and change your lives! Be perfect, as your Father in Heaven is perfect, Christ told us. Nobody can be perfect on their own, but with the Holy Spirit? The sinner decreases and Christ in us, INCREASES. Therefore it is Christ who makes us holy and it is possible for any human being to be a Saint because of this. This is a lifelong struggle for many of us and we will fall many times over, as Christ fell under HIs cross, but He's given us the means to get back up. His forgiveness is ongoing, but again, not a game! Thankfully we do have an understanding and merciful God, but also a Just one (which we should not forget either).
