We are not to "fellowship" the works of darkness. We are to show kindness but not condone sin. There is a difference. Scripture says Christ was "separate from sinners".
She will without doubt find a great many religous people who will assure her she will not be cast into Gehenna thereby affirming what her deceived heart wants to here.

Hebrews 13:23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty
"I would rather be judged before God as being an honest human being," she said. "If I am in any way unpleasing in his sight, I can only hope and pray that he gives me the opportunity to find who I am supposed to be."
Scripture is amazingly full of instructions on who and what we are supposed to be and not to be.
[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,
[10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
[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. 1 Cor. 6:9-11
What is the definition of "fellowship" according to your definition?
I was wondering the same thing. Depends on how you define "fellowship".
I have a co-worker that is homosexual and he doesn't hide it neither does he flaunt it.
I've ate lunch with him, we send emails back and forth, we've even texted! Imagine that!
He knows how I believe and hes respectful of that. But I don't run around telling him to go and sin no more nor do I treat him like he has a disease.
Sin is sin with God. Homosexuality is no worse to God than spreading lies yet we sure tend to want to alienate the one type of person but not the other.
Just my two cents.

I vaguely remember hearing the name Jennifer Knapp years ago. I found it interesting that she just dropped out of Christian music and stayed out of sight and out of touch for 8 years until now.
I was sad to hear the news, thankful she did not live a double life and pulled out of gospel music when she started her relationship with this woman, and also thankful her new music is not on a gospel label nor considered gospel. She at least appears to have enough respect for evangelical Christians not to do that.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Amen Bro. I would like to respond to these in more detail later but duty calls for tonight...in the form of Bible Study and my wifes famous roast chicken and dressing dinner with all the fixings.I wish all could attend.
This is going to open up the subject of the TRUE form of Restored Assembly Government; and discipline of unrepentant brethren. Sound exciting???
Stay tuned, and may God Bless our understanding and our obedience in this wicked hour.

It does sound interesting. Also if CCI is right and she is out of Christian music thats a good thing. If she remained in much more chance for the young stuggling believers to make the wrong choice and try to live the saved life and for the world both following her example.
