While this presents challenges of it's own, we in conservative churches should attempt to encourage and help them live celibate lives. This may appear to be like trying to change the flow of the Mississippi River. But we hold the same standard for unmarried individuals. Unless one is married sexual intercourse is forbidden regardless as to gender.
Then, in my experience, no change. I have always believed in treating all sinners with compassion, understanding and patience, but admit this is often easier said then done. Celebacy depends on how, and to what degree their desire for the opposite sex changes.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
