Being led by the spirit - Galatians 5

[Pastor Denise McGinnis-Brown]

Apostle Paul said in Galatians 5:16-18 that we are to walk in the spirit and if we are led by the spirit that we are not under the law.  In Galatians 5:19-23 he gives us examples of when we are being led by the spirit and when we are being led by our flesh.  In Galatians 5:21 he clearly says that those who PRACTICE such things (sins) will not inherit the kingdom of God.  Now, my question is how can a person believe that they can practice sin and still inherit the kingdom of God?  I had someone tell me that if a person had a heart to not sin, yet they practiced ongoing sin that they would still get into Heaven because they had a good heart.  Based on scriptures in 2nd Corinthians and Revelation, we will be judged on our works/deeds/actions; thus what we did while in the flesh will determine whether or not we inherit the kingdom of God.  Can someone give me some feedback on this?
