THAT is a huge problem, and something we should never approve of, or compromise with.

Right, and that is what I take issue with.
I certainly believe a person who is filled with the Holy Ghost and living a Christian life is still a Christian whether they are tempted, or even if they mess up and give in to temptation.
It's what you do about the temptation, or what you do after you've sinned that determines in which direction you are STILL headed.
I have a problem with the Gay churches that do NOT discourage sin, but embrace it, and encourage it.
