NO, if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, which is the only way to have eternal life.The above verses (there are more than just those in the Bible) do not place any conditions on eternal life.John 3:16 and the others do not say you will have eternal life unless you shave your head, dye your hair, have green eyes, have red hair, use hairspray, drive a white car, etc.God knows His children will slip up. He still loves us when we do and will not take away our promise of eternal life because we do slip up. And he certainly won't take it away because I may not have long hair.Also, keep in mind that what some consider a sin, others may not. Example: that beer. A lot of Christians will say that any form of alcohol is forbidden and you sin when you drink it. Others will point out the Bible says only that one should not drink to excess.At this point I will say that I know there are many verses that one can use to justify his/her position on drinking. I am simply pointing out what people say about it. I do not wish to get into a debate about alcohol consumption.There are some who believe drinking coffee is a sin. I am not one of them.

I have read those verses you quoted many many times. It sounds like you are saying some things written in the bible is not important to follow. I am not trying to words in you mouth. why would these things be addressed in the bible if it is of no consequence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to show me that everything on your list of things are sins. Hairspray? Really? A man cant shave his head? Really? If they are a sin to you, fine, dont do them. Do you have to be sinless to get into heaven? Feel free to show me that verse too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know hairspray is not in the bible, it could be considered part of the concept of outward adornment which is addressed in the bible. 1 Peter 3:3 Please, remember I did not accused anyone of anything I have made a list of things and ask a question about the items on the list.
