Gay people are going to hell

Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals 1nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. A professing Christian husband and father leaves his wife of thirty years for a young woman the age of his daughter.

A Sunday School teacher is obsessed with his favourite sports team, going into short term debt to make trips all over the country to watch his team play. A college student heavily involved with the local collegiate ministry regularly has sexual intercourse with his girlfriend.

A young man attends church regularly but frequents gay bars, looking for gay men, and goes home with them. A seeming loving and well adjusted lesbian couple, who know the Bible well, claim to love Jesus. An elder in a church regularly cheats on his income tax and steals money from his company. A pastor preaches fine sermons but drinks himself drunk every night.

And the biggest giver to your church, a man well respected for his work as a financial planner is convicted of a ponzi scheme which cheated people out of millions of dollars. What do these professing Christians have in common?

Gay men 'told they would burn in hell by preacher'

They are all going to hell! Any professing believer who goes on sinning wilfully, blatantly, brazenly, without remorse, failing to bring forth fruits of genuine repentance Matt. Paul is not saying that if anyone has ever committed adultery, fornication, homosexual acts, etc.

Not at all! Praise God. What a Saviour! He goes on to say that such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God 1 Cor. God has saved and transformed many such people over the years. Maybe you are one of those who have been washed, justified, and sanctified.

But the apostles, the prophets, and the Lord Jesus himself all say that a professing believer who lives in unrepentant sin is lost and on the road to perdition Isa. Surely this evokes fear and concern for all who read these words! If not, then you are really in trouble. If so, then there is hope for you.

But if you are calling yourself a Christian and sin consciously, wilfully, brazenly, and unrepentantly, and if you persist to live this way, then you will go to hell! Your profession of faith means nothing. You are deceiving yourself. A true believer will make progress in gospel holiness. What then must you, as a professing believer, do to keep yourself from hell?
