If they repent, yes. Otherwise not.

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,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

As long as they are saved, yes.
And now here comes Jason on his high horse to correct me.

Of course. You and I expect to.... and we have both lied... and probably stolen something, too.

Let me put it this way, nobody can enter the Kingdom of God through any attempts of their own.

When pastors lie about tithing, does that make them liars? If they take the tithe, does that make them thieves. Enquiring mind wants to know. Are they still going to heaven?

Why do you hate pastor and churches and tithing so much.
Is it because they would not let you do your THING in the congregation.
You have told many lies when you put all churches and pastors in one groupe and condem them as evil.

Better question. When you spend your life doing nothing but putting down the church and pastors nd ranting about your failures while blaming others for them, will you go to heaven?

Hard question: How do you know?

Eventually. Once they repent of their sins and ask forgiveness. Hopefully, the answer to your question will lessen your anxiety.

We all know there are good churches and not so good churches.
There are good pastors and not so good pastors.
There are times when money is well spent and times when it is not.
There are NO PERFECT churches or pastors, but most do their best while living in a sinfull world.
To spend a life always looking for those who fail and then use them as a basis to judge ALL as sinfull is a wasted life.
Yet, you are wasting the few years you have left living in sorrow while our Lord wants you to live in joy.

Yes they can if they repent of those ways, which means they have to turn away from doing those sins any more.

If they continue to deliberately sin by lying and stealing then no they will not, no matter how much they profess Jesus to be their Lord. For their profession of faith will be a false one if they can not turn away from their formal sinful nature, to walk by the Spirit where their actions will be guided by the fruits.

My question would be; why stop there?

Will people who continue to gossip go to heaven? Gossiping is a sin.

Will people who continue to covet go to heaven? Coveting is a sin.

Will the self-righteous go to heaven? Self-righteousness is a sin.

Will gluttons go to heaven? Gluttony is a sin. (Sorry fat people! You better get thin before you die!)

People will pick certain sins they claim are worse than others, but the truth of the matter is, even one sin will keep you out. The Bible says you must be perfect as God is perfect. That means, you must be as sinless as God.

That's why Jesus had to pay the price for us. One sinless sacrifice for all.

Being in the flesh, there is no way we can live without sinning.

Despite what Jason, Kenneth, and their ilk say, Christians are all sinning saints.

Can a person that says they are saved be one of the things in that scripture posted and still make heaven?

Maybe this is talking about the person whose spirit has not been made perfect.

spirit is spirit
flesh is flesh.
