I agree, but I was making sure that nothing I had said was perceived wrong. Pentecostals often "perceive" things in the spirit that aren't acutally happening. LOL
LOL! I have a friend who does that alot - pretty much on everything I think. I tease her about it too. She does not like the label much, but I would best describe her as a Pagan.

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

The Admin statement stands on it's own. The statement is not new.
I agree. The thread is about a homosexual that was fired and won a wrongful termination lawsuit. I have used recruiters on 2 ocassions and paid placement fees to hire gays. I fired one and the other one quit. There are right and wrong ways to hire and also to fire. Ihired both knowing they were gay and knowing their capabilities.
I would not hire a gay in any ministry.

Tell me about it!

Do you all think there is a place in the church for homosexuals?
Of course there is, they should be able to come and worship like anyone else. And hopefully they will seek mentoring and discipling. Our church has mentored and seven or eight over the years, one of these guys recently moved. In the service where he was recognized as having been at the church for sixteen years, he also testified to having lived a celibate life for those sixteen years. The gospel is for everyone, and it is the power of God unto salvation, homosexuals are sinners and need Jesus as we all do.
As believers, we should no longer practice sin!!

There is a pentecostal church organization here in Puerto Rico that was sued and lost a multimillion dollar lawsuit for firing a homosexual man. Now there are 2 or 3 pastors with homosexual tendencies and the church can't do anything to them but let them be.
I don't understand all of the details or legalities of the case, but how can homosexuals stay in church positions? Can anyone explain the legal rights of gays in church employment? I thought the church had rights but I may be wrong.
DM, you should be all for this, as your avatar states "progress". Many Obama supporters wanted change and progress, they just didn't inform themselves enough to realize that it would be change for the worse and didn't bother to ask whether we were progressing in the right or wrong direction.
