In another article posted about the recent SBC conference on RNS, the reporter concludes 'Among the various speakers, there were certainly mixed messages'. The confusion came because the SBC seems to believe that you can be Gay and Christian as long as you don't act on your homosexual impulses.
But is that actually the message of the Gospel? Does the Bible teach that a person is born as a homosexual? RC Sproul says NO! In one of the lectures on the Ligonier website, RC says, “Biologically, essentially and intrinsically, there is no such thing as a homosexual”.

Important! The SBC under the leadership of Al Mohler, who has come under the cloak of historic SBC founders conservative doctrine, has leaned increasingly into humanistic Political Correctness and compromised historic SBC doctrine and this is solid evidence. Al Mohler is leading tho ecumenical liberal creep into unorthodoxy by a once most conservative denomination. Sproul provides a sharp contrast and Is spot on.

I'm not so sure... I was listening to Pastor Boling dissect the news of the SBC's convention and Dr. Albert Mohler's repentance on his belief that sexual orientations do not exist ...Pastor Boling says he is disturbed by the implication of Dr. Mohler, and Dr Morrow, that a homosexual could become a Christian if they remained celibate and non-practicing of homosexual behavior. He references the scripture that the old self has been crucified with Christ, our Savior, and we are a new creation. His implication is that if they truly became Christian there would be a conversion and then they would no longer be homosexuals. That illicit desire would no longer exist. I find that naive to believe that the new self is instantly and completely in control upon receiving Christ. In my own life I still struggle on the internet with pornography...it is a physical battle to not hit a button that might have a scantily clad woman waiting for me. Even the Apostle Paul, whose scripture Dr. boiling referenced claimed that he was chief among sinners and that he struggled with controlling the sin of the flesh and the righteousness of the spirit. (Rom 7:15-20) Why, in most of Paul's letters, would he have to admonish believers to stop sinning and put on the new self (Eph 4:17-5:20)...if it was automatic and complete?
