Re: Hillsong shifts on Homosexuality
There's no such thing as a gay Christian. There's EX gays that are Christian, just like there are EX liars, Ex adulters, and EX whatever the sin, just name it, that are Christians.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Re: Hillsong shifts on Homosexuality
"I refuse to let another human being or a media moment dictate how we approach it (homosexuality)."
This is an example of his wisdom and pastoral compassion.
"Prosperity for us is simply knowing Jesus and having a right to repent from a sinful life and cling to that cross every day."
This shows he hasn't forgotten what's paramount.
I think we need to give this brother a chance before declaring him and his organization to be not faithful to the Cause and Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Re: Hillsong shifts on Homosexuality
Can a sinner attend your church Sunday in and Sunday out and still feel loved for however long it takes for GOD to get a hold of their life and do the work that only HE can do on the inside of that sinner?
Do you skin a fish before or after you catch the fish?

Re: Hillsong shifts on Homosexuality
Let's say you are the Pastor and a transgendered married person and their spouse dares to darken the door of your sanctuary.
How would you reach that person and their family with the Gospel of Christ?
Would they even feel welcome to visit your church?
Would they feel welcome to regularly attend your church?
What would you REQUIRE of them before baptizing them?
What would you REQUIRE of them after they have spoken in tongues?
For this situation, the woman is a woman and the man is a transgendered person who was born a woman but is now living her life as a him. They have one adopted child.

Re: Hillsong shifts on Homosexuality
You are the Pastor of a church in Yazoo City, Mississippi for 15 years. The Lord calls you to New York City to pastor.
Would your style and (if I may use the word) tactics change to better suit your new battleground?

He should've at the least made that statement during that press conference.
Mr. Houston needs to consistently be ready to take a stand for what he believes (even in regard to what falls under the category of sin) and own it. It can be done in a kind respectful manner, yet to the point.
