After reading all the above posts,just let me say this. To suggest that ANYONE who accepts the gift of salvation is still lost, or to doubt your own salvation is wrong if you are truly saved.That would weaken the very idea of a PLAN OF SALVATION that a perfect God came up with. Everyone will continue to sin after being saved. Being gay is the same as being a drunkard in God's eyes. Looking at a woman in a lustful way is the same as going to bed with her. (Perhaps we can talk about deacons being the husband of one wife at another time and what was meant by that.)I'm thankful God forgives me instead of fallible man.
