I believe that homosexuality is against God's law and is therefore a sin, but I also believe that ANY sin (even murder) can be forgiven if one truly repents, asks forgiveness, and stops performing the sinful act. God will forgive the person and welcome him/her into the Kingdom. On the other hand, if they continue in their sinful behavior, they will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

“On the other hand, if they continue in their sinful behavior, they will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

All continue sinful behavior, whether one sin’s differently then another is irrelevant.

Romans 6: 1-23:

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

EPHESIANS 2:

8 FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD:

9 NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.

1 JOHN 1:

7 BUT IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT, AS HE IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP ONE WITH ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.

8 IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NO SIN, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US.

Galatians 2:21:
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain
