Are these going to be saved?

There is a difference between being homosexual and living the homosexual life style just as there is a difference between being an alcoholic and living a life of drunkenness.

Some alcoholics may struggle their whole life to live free from alcohol and may fall back occasionally for a while, and then get sober and go on again. I think the same thing may happen to a person who is homosexual. There is a life time struggle and there may be periods of relapse and subsequent recovery. Some times we are not very patient with people in their struggle.

Very good post Sam. I believe that believers who struggle with this are “saved” by grace. Their sin is no worse than the sin I struggle with. I know that some may continue on in the lifestyle, I believe God will deal with them as he chooses… and I trust him. I’d never run anyone out of a church or a bible study over this. I’d share the Word of God with them and talk about the healing and changing power of Jesus. Some who are in bondage to this condition need much mercy and prayer. I firmly believe that they can’t change by sheer will power. I believe they need a supernatural touch from Jesus.

I believe that sin is like a disease that we have all contracted. There are times when the infection lies dormant and the condition is asymptomatic. But then there are periods of time when the symptoms of this condition flare up and are obvious for all to see. Our churches are spiritual hospitals. We need to minister to all who desire to know more about Jesus.
