Okay... technically, a "True" Christian cannot lose their salvation. Those who "seemingly" DO lose it, the logic goes, those persons were not "True" Christians to begin with. Please read the article below for more details about this idea.
Forgive others as I have forgiven you.
I’m not here to win a popularity contest, but to witness to and speak the TRUTH.

wages of sin is death - no sin will enter God's Kingdom. Once accepting Christ we must live a holy consecrated life - perfect? no - we will make mistakes - but to delibertly sin against God a true Born Again Believe will no yield to the tempter. If we are tempted and give into the temptation and die before we can repent - we will go to hell.
If God spares our life and we are able to repent and turn from the wickedness - we will go to heaven. God will not be mocked - we cannot say I'll do this or that and keep sinning and then repent - that's being a hypocrite. this person has not truly been saved
I Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
I Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

I personally do no understand how some Christians can believe that by being Christian alone, they are saved. Yes, Jesus died for our sins so that we CAN go to Heaven but that does not mean we will. Heaven is a place where God our Almighty Father resides... How can a "saved" Christian who has still done many sins go to such a holy and perfect place? As a Catholic we believe in order to enter Heaven, we must have a completely pure soul. That is why we have the sacrament of Reconciliation. As Jesus gave the authority to his disciples: If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained’" (John 20:23) Also there is Purgatory where any un-atoned sins are purged away before entrance into Heaven.

Once Saved Always Saved is a False man made doctrine.
Galatians 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
Hebrews 10:27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
Luke 11:4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.'
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
Matthew 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!
Mark 9:41 I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward
Peace be with you

Yes because salvation does not override freewill.
Eternity is not a segment of time but simply Un-relative Oneness with the Eternal One. There is no eternal place of torment but one day the Eternal Fire of the Truth is going to destroy all illusion along with those who decided to walk in it because it suite the lust and desire of self and they will cease to exist even in memory after judgment.
Those who PRACTICE sin shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (New American Standard Bible)
9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not (B)inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

You seem confused.
It's hard for me to get into your mental state.
Ask yourself if you truly think that your God would send you to hell. Does that seem right to you in your heart? Do you want to believe in a condemning God, a God that condemns you to hell? Nobody's forcing you to believe that stuff.
