Friend,

To be saved means that you have turned from a life style of sin.
Homosexuality is one of the sins marked out as belonging to the
unredeemed. To think you can be saved and also be gay is to deceive
yourself. Listen to the Word of God:

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the
kingdom of God.." (1Co6:9,10)

[Editor's note: another "Ask the Pastor" question on homosexuality
can be found here.]
