If one professes to be a believer and is a practicing Homosexual that person is not following the teachings of Christ.

Gay apostolic is an oxymoron.
you cannot be gay (active in the gay lifestyle) and saved. If a person is a practicing homosexual and wants to be saved, they need to repent, find a good church and stop sinning.
any other questions?
Amen.
Let me say also that I'll any one to come to church, but I will not allow anyone who is living in open sin to participate in a position of authority.
I also refuse to waste any more time on this thread.
I think for many gays "repenting" isn't enough. They've "repented" a million times and it's just part of their nature. Imagine what it would be like if kissing a woman (or a man if you are a woman) didn't do anything for you...like you were kissing your mom or dad...but your body and interests regarding human need in this area responded to the same gender. I couldn't imagine how that would feel. That's why I think that there MIGHT be a genetic factor. In my opinion if something is "genetic" it's rooted in the "flesh". And sexual sin is a work of the "flesh". Their "flesh" just responds to the same gender for some reason. So considering these factors I think most homosexuals can't "repent" their way out of this condition. I think they need a miraculous healing that touches body, soul, and spirit. I've seen men repent and their attractions lead them right back to it. I've seen them have "devils of homosexuality" cast out of them...only for the attraction to continue and they be led right back into it. Unless you're a eunuch...intimate companionship is a need for most human beings. That means that unless their "attraction" changes they're going to naturally seek to fulfill that need. So I don't beat them over the head with "REPENT, REPENT, REPENT.", like that's all they need. Yes, they have to repent of the sin they've committed...but they need more....they need a change. They need a miracle.
Good post.
