Can be used for the future as a negative of 'going to', although we would need to replace going to with its colloquial version, gonna.
I ain't gonna come here again = I'm not going to come here again

As a BE speaker I don't use ain't much, and I agree with Vlad's comment on the future, but can't we also say "I ain't coming here again" to say the same thing?

Re: aint...
You can also use it to replace HAVE/HAS ..I ainīt got no money ,but itīs very substandard and shouldnīt be overused! I havenīt got any money is the "right way" ...

I can only think of one circumstance I use it - "Ain't that a shame!" - which I use with very close friends when I want to be very sarcastic but in a friendly way.
. Otherwise I really dislike it.
