On Fire said:
Would you expect or at least hope that a homosexual that you bring to Christ would repent of the behavior?
I just witness to my own experience. The Holy Spirit does the leading.
I would hope that first, this person accepts who she or he is, for their strengths and
weakness, because repentence and healing is possible only from a position
of acceptance and truth.
I would hope that second, they realize they have infinite worth in the eyes of
God, no matter what their sexual orientation is.
I would hope that third, they would turn away from any destructive or hurtful
behaviors in which they are used to participating, be it promiscuity, alcohol,
overeating, abuse, whatever.
And finally, I would hope that they pray and follow the lead of the Holy Spirit,
whichever direction that may take them. If that leads them to remain faithful to
a lifetime partner, or leads them to change and to give up the people they've
been associated with, either way.
Ultimately, I hope for them an eternity of joy in fellowship with God through
Christ.
