Every single human makes a mistake. It is impossible to live a life without sin even if you don't do anything. Christians are no exception to this. This is why Christ died. We are born in sinful flesh and the sinful flesh mostly wants to sin and our spirit wants to do good. But as Paul said in Galatians 5:17 "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would"

Most Christians see Christianity as the route to a reward of eternity in heaven. Some Christians believe that 'salvation' is achieved through the forgiveness of their sins, the bad things they do. Others believe that 'salvation' is achieved by faith alone, and that good works are not a prerequisite to going to heaven. Some Christians appear to believe that their chances of salvation are enhanced by seeking out and converting non-believers to Christianity, or at least to their particular denomination of Christianity. Nowhere in these explanations is there a requirement, or even preference, for Christians to be good people. Of course, many Christians try to do good and avoid doing harm, if only in response to their consciences.

Can you keep on sinning and only repent when you want to and not lose your salvation?
You would be wilfully sinning if you had the attitude that you'll not try to avoid sinning and keep 'repentance' as a handy tool for avoiding any consequences or to 'keep a foot in the door' of Heaven. Such an attitude may indicate you are not saved. It is impossible to avoid sinning entirely but a Christian who is walking a right path will be grieved when they do sin and will ask forgiveness because they are distressed by the sin and earnestly avoid the possibility of repeating it. Salvation is not lost if such is the attitude and forgiveness has no limit. Further, they will restore any damage their sin caused as far as possible.

How should Christians solve the issue of nominal Christians?
A:First of all, committed Christians should decide whether the issue of nominal Christianity is a proble for them to solve and, if so, why. In a world of free will, some will choose to be committed Christians, some will choose a loose affiliation with Christianity - nominal Christians - and some will choose to identify themselves as atheists or agnostics.If some Christians do not wish to associate with nominal Christians, they could challenge those people, and quietly ask them to make a decision between Christianity and agnosticism. Other Christians might prefer to keep nominal Christians engaged, in the hope that they may one day make a commitment to the faith. Forcefully preaching to nominal Christians is unlikely to work and could arguably be regarded as immoral behaviour.
