A MAJOR sin (as cited below) can hinder your entry to
heaven, whether you are a Christian or not.  The question
is what is the effect of MINOR sins?

1 Jn 5:16-17
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto
death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them
that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not
say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin:
and there is a sin not unto death.

There is a sin that does not lead to death.  This sin does
not cause someone to lose salvation.  Nevertheless, it still
is an abomination in God's eyes.

Jesus obtained forgiveness for us thru His blood shed on the
cross, even for future sins.  In other words, our future
sins are atoned for.  Nevertheless, do NOT ABUSE this fact
by sinning WILLFULLY.

Mt 6:14-15
For if all of you forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if all of you
forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.

Mt 7:21-3
Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my
Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your
name have cast out devils? and in your name done many
wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, all of you that work iniquity.

1 Cor 6:9-10
Know all of you 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, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit
the kingdom of God.

Gal 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, worldy jealousies,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell
you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they
which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Eph 5:5
For this all of you know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean
person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Rev 22:14-15
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers,
and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loves and makes a lie.

There are MAJOR sins that are more serious in God's eyes.
These MAJOR sins can cost one's salvation.  An incomplete
list, based on the above verses, are:

- unforgiveness
- disobedience
- fornication
- idolatry
- adultery
- effemination (cross-sex dressers)
- sodomy
- stealing
- covetousness
- drunkeness
- reviling
- extortion
- uncleanness
- lasciviousness
- witchcraft (sorcery)
- hatred
- variance
- worldy jealousies
- wrath
- strife
- seditions
- heresies
- Envyings
- murders
- revellings
- whoremonger
- lies

1 Jn 3:3
And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself,
even as he is pure.

An example of a MINOR sin is the sin of omission (there are
other examples).  A MINOR sin may not cost one's salvation,
but nevertheless it should be repented of.  When one sins,
one starts a downward spinal of sins, and get worse and
worse until one repents.  While a MINOR sin may not cost
one's salvation, one starts to get worse and worse, and
commits a MAJOR sin.

An example is someone sees porns for a brief moment on the
internet.  Then one gradually becomes addicted to seeing
porns.  Then one secretly see prostitutes during the nights.
Then one steals to pay for the addiction.  Then one murders
to get the monies.  Seeing porn for a brief moment may not
cost one's salvation, but that person spirals downward and
commits MAJOR sins of fornication, stealing, and murder.
Where one crosses the salvation line, I do not know.  Each
case is unique, but somewhere in this process, that person
grieves the Holy Spirit.

It is important to repent of all sins, MAJOR or MINOR.  And
to live with the FEAR OF THE LORD.  If you know you did
something wrong, repent!  And if you know something is
wrong, do not do it.  It is CONDITIONAL salvation based on
whether we TRY to live correctly with the Lord.  Sure we all
goof and committed sins, and Jesus's blood shed on the cross
paid for future sins.  Just repent and move on.  But do not
ABUSE God's grace by sinning WILLFULLY.
