You can list adultery, lying, stealing, murder, and many more. All sins can be forgiven, no matter the number or the type. What keeps a person from heaven is not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. In John 3:36, it says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
A person who has changed from an unbeliever to a believer has been 'born again'. As Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” This is in reference to a spiritual rebirth. Notice in the passage in I Cor 6:11, "And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." The washing referred to here is the washing by the Holy Spirt, which is the new birth.
In Titus 3:4-7 it says, "But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Notice that action of the Holy Spirit where is says "through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit."
Finally in 1John 1:9 it says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I hope this helps you understand how we can be forgiven and attain eternal life.
I leave you with this, Ephesians 2:8-10, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."
