Only if they've been Knighted.

You can call yourself whatever you like or ask people to address you as "yes sir" but it traditionally applies to males only.

But it's not clear if you're asking an English language question or asking about the Order British Empire, which is a different subject entirely, and follows from the knighting of British subjects by the Queen. There are 5 levels of OBE but only the top two (Grand Cross, OBE & Knight/Dame Commander, OBE) confer the titles Sir or Dame.

In some countries, an individual can be recognized with an honorific title like "Sir" if they have been awarded a knighthood by the reigning monarch. Otherwise, using the title "Sir" without official recognition can be seen as disrespectful or inappropriate.

Can one sin repeatedly and yet call themselves a Christian and believe in God?

Yes.Anyone, no matter how bad of a person they may be, can call themselves a Christian. Anyone can call themselves anything they want. That doesn't make it true.Also, anyone can believe in Christ and still not be "saved." In the Bible (James 2:19), it says, "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder."As for being a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ, I do not believe that someone who repeatedly and deliberately disobeys the commands of the Bible can truly and honestly call themselves a Christian.
