"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
James 2:10
Have you ever sinned?
Then as anyone, you are condemned already.
Do you believe that you can be good enough to get to heaven some day?
Jesus told a very religious man,
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
He considers you to be condemned already if you think that any one of the things you mentioned so far grants one merit with God. They cannot pay for sin.
So, the solution is in the second link of my signature.
That is not my way. That is what God's Word clearly teaches.
If it's not visible, turn your phone sideways. The sig should appear. Link #2

All of that is an avoidance to the answer of the question I asked.
Are we responsible to honor and obey Gods laws as specified through the ages and then ask forgiveness for our failings?
Or is it okay to simply ignore whatever rules and laws we choose then depend on our love for Jesus to give us a free pass to eternal life?
I mean really, queers, and lesbos, and pederasts, and thieves, and serial killers, and lovers of animals, and even (gasp) socialists can love Jesus and ask for forgiveness.
Will you be sharing Heaven with the likes of them? Will they still be practicing their habits in Heaven?
