Well I don't know if this has been properly answered and don't feel like taking the time to see, so I will answer. My perspective is coming from that of a Baptist Christian. The purpose of Jesus was so that we all aren't doomed to Hell for our wrong-doings and it because of him that we can ask for forgiveness for our sins. So if fornication is indeed a sin then if you ask for forgiveness sincerely, you will mostly likely receive it.
No sin is above another sin so fornicating won't destine you to Hell. If we went to Hell for any sin we did then there would be no one in Heaven because no one is free from sin. Which is why we ask for forgiveness.
No you won't go to Hell. I can have an orgy without a wedding band in a church, then commit suicide, and still go to Heaven. All we need to do's ask for forgiveness, asking beforehand can do as well.
Wow .. That was an amazing story. Thats probably something you'll never forget

Thanks for not thinking I'm crazy or sth lol but what really bugs me at times is that a lot of people are faking to speak in "tongues". At this moment I just can't start talking in tongues. In churge people just start talking it out of no where and they are just sitting or scratching their butt. I now have the ability to speak this supernatural langauges, but I can't use it whenever I want to. I don't even know what the purpose of the language is !! I don't even know what it does. Some say it gives your prayer more effect or sth, some say that you are comunicating directly to God and that he is telling you secrets. After that day I spoke it about 10 times ? The last time was like 2 or 3 years ago. And it all starts similar. It's like I'm giving all my energie away in the prayer and recieve new one and then that energie just takes over. I don't know if it works different with other people that can talk it but In my experience you can just start talking it whenever you want it. Cause you have like no idea what you are saying. The bible says that when you recieve such a thing you should pray that you get to learn to understand it. So I know for a fact that not the whole album is BS, but there are a couple of things that are strange to me or that doesn't fit.
It seems like there are chapters missing from the bible. Like they just skipped a whole story.
I believe we're born from nothing, and when we die we go back to nothing. What happens in between is a combination of hard work and luck. Heaven & Hell are cute concepts invented to keep people in check - concepts that people accept b/c it's nicer than reality: rotting under the earth.
Okay. So my subconscious can show me the future ? I have had dreams that came completly or partly true. If there isn't a God then the supernatural world shouldn't excist. I believe in the supernatural world.
I want to tell y'all a story.
There was some kind of prayer group at my middle school and at that time I had given my life to Christ about a month or two ago. One day the prayer group went to all the classrooms and said "If you are a child of Christ, you come right now without questions". I went and so did a couple of others. It appears someone of the school was going to summit suicide and the prayer group asked us to first thank the lord, worship him and then pray that the dude wouldn't do it. Well I felt really weird and uncomfortable by the way the people were praying, singing and dancing and stuff. Then while they were praying really loudly, it was like if they were fighting in a other world. I closed my eyes and I pictured the guy comitting suicide and going to hell. I suddenly became mad and started to pray like crazy. I was saying a lot of things and very fast, I was praying faster, faster and faster and then suddenly I felt fire going true my mouth and I started to speak a langauge I couldn't understand. I couldn't stop it. It just kept going. My tongue was going crazy. There was no way to controle it. Then suddenly after 10 minutes the whole group stopped praying at the same moment. I was feeling very dissy and confused. And then the leader of the group asked if someone experienced something and without thinking I said "I was speaking in tongues". One hour later the guy returned to school and said that he almost comitted suicide but he heard voices calling him back to school.
You may think I'm crazy, but I have experienced some pretty crazy stuff. I for one think that dreams are linked to the supernatural world. I am not as christianly as before more because of the gay thing, but I do believe in God. And despite everything that I saw and experienced, there is no way in my mind that I can believe that God is sending that many people to Hell for just being gay or having sex before marriage or not living the "perfect life".
You could speak in tongues?
That's some high level stuff

They say its the same language a baby speaks when thy are born.. That's supposed to be the tongue we'll speak in while in heaven supposedly.. Its our natural language. I've never spoken in tongue, but I would love to experience that. It must be a powerful feeling! & yea most church goers fake speaking in tongue, just like they fake getting the Holy Ghost. Just a cry out for attention.

It's the "language" the Apostles were speaking when the Holy Spirit came down for the first time.

If you don't mean it and have the purpose of doing it again and die though, you do go to hell.

Anybody can speak in tongues. Just take a shot of vodka and start spitting fire. I grew up devoutly Southern Baptist with serious Pentecostal influences and, let me assure you, speaking in tongues is ********.
I think it's really funny sitting here and listening to all these Christian perspectives saying that if you don't believe X you're going to Hell. You do realize that there are plenty of other religions (e.g. Islam) that say that you as a Christian are following a false dogma and are actually the one destined for Hell? And what's scary is that they have their own holy scripture (the Qu'ran) that is just as valid, legitimate, and historically (in)accurate as the Bible to substantiate those beliefs.
The only reason you believe in Christ is because you grew up in America. If you'd been born in the Middle East, you'd be on your knees praying to Mecca every morning, cursing those Christian infidels. That's why, to me, the idea of organized religion (and evangelical Christianity) is so stupid and dangerous, really.

The only reason i believe in Christ is because i know how amazing He is
You sound like you have some kind of anger, you know God it's here but you don't want to accept Him

No they cant. I drink honey and not once did I spew a LICK of tounge after getting drunk.
So no, of course not. As long as you ask for forgiveness.
Some people say that suicide is an unforgivable sin because the person does not have time to repent of self murder, but not everyone who commits suicide dies instantly.
Outside of the references mentioned above, there are no big sins or little sins. Sin is sin, but various sins carry various consequences. Consequences of sexual sin may be STD, unwanted pregnancy, the break up of a marriage, etc. Consequences of stealing could be jail time, a criminal record, fines, etc.
