it is written that after accepting Jesus as your savior and being baptized that all one's past sins are not to be mentioned unto them,so don't dwell on the past,your bright future is far more important!

You are 100% forgiven , when God looks at you he sees you as pure, without blame.When you chose to let him in he claimed you as his own.Anything, and I mean anything you have done is old news to God.People on the other hand often arent so quick to forgive.Sometimes it is hardest to forgive ourself most of all.
In my experience whilst we can be forgiven the impact of past decisions can still impact on your new life.
Chase after God with your heart and strength and he's going to do great things.God Bless

Chances of getting into heaven... 100% as long as you've asked God for forgiveness

Chances of having a relationship... You're a former bad boy. I think the majority of single women out there love bad boys...

Hey buddy,

I think you've asked this in the context of human relationships & I'll answer on that basis.

I don't think it will hurt your chances with the right girl. Anyone that says they don't have things to be ashamed of is lying. What people respect is insight into bad behaviour & an ability to change for the better. You've mastered that.

Any girl that simply looks at your past & screams "away from me, sinner!" is a judgmental person & you're better off without her in your life.

I've done some bad things...

I got drunk and partied about 3-4 times a week for 9 months, I slept with many different girls, I did weed and smoked for the same period of time.

However now I am a changed man, I have quit all of the above and reformed, I love the farther and I'm serving him. I am selfless and loved by all who touch me.

But be honest is my past a step to far...
The blood of Christ is powerful enough to wash away any and every sin ever committed. But this grace is only for those who are actively in Christ, fighting the good fight. The prodigal needs to get right with God before he dies and his fate is sealed. For although obedience cannot earn grace, grace is only given to those striving to obey.
