They lied about how much they were giving to the budding Church to make themselves look better - how does that correlate? Think about it. Can a homosexual be saved? In the conventional sense? No. How different than the liar and thief who still has bouts of lies and thievery? Poor analogy. "Serial Killer" would be closer if not more extreme. How about the average, everyday Christian who falls for some temptation each and every day (whether they realize/recognize it or not); are they doomed? For the sake of brevity rather than a whole lot of theological qualification: no.
Have you read the Bible? Your answers might as well be calling God a liar and Jesus a charlatan trickster.
