That's a unknown question but I do know if you was to live in the filth you will stay nasty until you get back right with God. But usually a true believer will feel great guilt and find their way back to God. And after salvation infidelity doesn't damn a person but I wouldn't make any sin a habit. Sin has a good way to allow evil to enter and the Devil to tempt you easier.

This will likely turn into a brawl between the OSAS camp vs others.
But humans by nature are 'bad'. It's less of a reflection of if the Christian is bad, and more if reflecting of they ever had God. True Christians desire.to follow God. There may be moments or seasons of weakness but they will come back around.

God does not forsake people or walk away .. people walk away and deny him... instead lets change some words to your question and get rid of some.. "How bad does a christian person have to be before no longer considering God?".. my response to that is dunno, but i see people do it all the time, and its sad.
That is a pretty big sin. I do not know why you would be unfaithful. If your that unhappy maybe you should end what you have going on before starting something new. It is not fair to your partner you have now and it is not fair to the person you are unfaithful with. But God will forgive you once you reclaim your mind and soul and get back on a path of salvation. First you must do some soul searching to find out why it is your unfaithful what your looking for that your missing. Then you need to evaluate your own behaviors. Check your own rap sheet so to speak what can you own as fr as having your current relationship fall apart? Are you not giving her the attention she needs to have are you making excuses for why things are going bad when some of it is your fault. Have you even addressed with her what you feel your missing? If you have addressed the issues you feel are wrong have you given her time to fix the problems? If you really wan thing to work then you need to be 100 percent honest with each other and you need to get right with God again.. praying everything works out . Secrets destroy peoples lives Honesty is the best policy even if it hurts people we love. p.s. secrets always come out sooner or later...
We were damned for our sin before we came to Christ. Jesus Christ cleanses us from sin. And you cannot lose your salvation. God has promised to keep us!
However, you do have to follow Christ and that means turning from your sin. The Holy Spirit will give you the power to start turning those failures into increasingly being able to follow Jesus!
So the question is, are you truly saved? We are never saved by cleaning ourselves up and making ourselves acceptable to God. Because we can never be good enough.
The Bible says we are sinners, saved by grace. We simply are not saved by works! You do sound desperate. Send me a message and we can talk about what is burdening you, and how to seek God for salvation and peace.

Amen...people can be doing this very thing ( no longer considering God Himself ) and be going to church every day, read the bible every day and pray 5 hours a day.
They have created a religion with the words Jesus, God, Bible, Word of God in it. The religion of Christianity is not the same as knowing the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the parable of the prodigal son - the elder brother did not know his Father just like the one that went away. They were doing the exact same thing - only it manifested differently in each son.
Sometimes what could be happening is that people seem to be turning away from God ( because they are not doing what "we are doing or in the same way" ) but maybe they are just turning away from the "god" that we have projected unto them.

It depends on the individual. Does that person want to come back to God? Does he feel the guilt & shame of his sin? Then God is still dealing with him.
Does he feel absolutely nothing? Can you get him to relate to you whether he cares, or not?
Some quench the Spirit of God in them & go apostate. They no longer want any part of God. For them it's too late.
Because of God's longsuffering, many still have a chance.
