...there are reasons to question the label ‘Gay Christian’. The most important issue is there is no biblical support for adding an adjective like this to the word ‘Christian’. Biblical and historical patterns do allow for some distinctive labels (‘Protestant Christian’, ‘American Christian’), but these are always focused on one’s confession or location. There is no example in the New Testament or in history where a sinful act is used as a symbol for Christian identity.
Strike back against Revoice!!!
From the Peter Jones article:
https://www.theaquilareport.com/revoice-sliding-into-heresy/
“The theologically naive and uninformed Coles is one of the speakers setting policy for the Church via Revoice. He seems already to have bamboozled D. A. Carson, who says in his endorsement of Coles’ book: “To say this book is important is a painful understatement. It is the candid, moving, intensely personal story of a gay young man who wants to live his life under the authority of King Jesus and who refuses to accept the comforting answers proffered by different parts of the culture.”
I agree with every line of the excerpt above.
You know, when these committees are formed to ‘study’ such an issue, there is usually some recognized momentum to force it. But I was pleasantly surprised by these points made by the PCA. I hope they hold strong going forward.
Thanks for posting this. My wife mentioned that the PCA had discussed this issue but we couldn’t find out the results. It’s nice to know that some Christian leaders have some biblical understanding.
Very nice.
Dear Methodists and ex-Methodists: how it should be thought about and how it should be done.
I left the UMC four years ago to join the PCA. The PCA isn’t perfect, but it does use the Bible as a shield against apostasy!
Wow! I’m shocked that a current Methodist body would take such a stand. It gives me great comfort that there are still some of us out there. Thanks for the post!
Do we really want good Presbyterians dating and marrying Methodists and Baptists?
What's that?
Never mind ...
