    Except they are forgetting one thing: There is no such thing as a "gay Christian". Gay tare would be more accurate.

    My wife and I were invited to see a special speaker at a Pastor friends small A/G church years ago. Bernard the Harpist (not his real name) was the show for the night. He played almost every instrument in the book with excellence. The Harp was the main instrument of his. As soon as the Pastor introduced him and he opened his mouth my heart sank. He was an active homosexual. I looked over at my wife and she looked livid as I later learned she had seen the same thing I did. He went through a 30-45 minute show and even preached and prophesied some. I wanted to get up and leave several times. Finally he sputtered to an abrupt end. Then almost amazingly the Glory of God came into the room. Everything turned an amber like gold in the Spirit. I was severely perplexed as I know that this performer could NOT have been responsible for this manifestation. I asked my wife in the car if she saw what I saw about him ? She said she did see his sinful condition. I asked her if she saw that Golden Glory came into the room after he stopped speaking and she said she did see that also. I asked her why ? She said throughout the service she was led to "rebuke the jezebel spirit" and when she finally did the guy stopped his show and the Glory came into that little church. The man died a couple of years later in his forties after deceiving churches in my area. He even got on the local Christian TV station. I went to his Facebook memorial page and he claimed in some mystical way he was "married" to Jesus !

    The Biblical Gift Of Discerning of spirits. Sometimes I have actually smelled the homosexual spirit in a room I entered. It is awful. Kennth Hagin Had this happen to him too many times. If a homosexual spirit stronghold is there it's detectable supernaturally in the voice. Sometimes it's totally undetected by any natural means or just assuming or guessing the person is gay. Sometimes you can help the person if you find out who it is and minister to them privately. In the case of the harpist as soon as he opened his mouth the spirit was revealed to me and my wife.He even said in his sermon as a weak cover up , "look we are in the last days, gay marriage for instance". Looking at his memorial Facebook page confirmed this. It said he had this physical /mystical marriage to Jesus. It was disgusting and sick.

    SEXUAL SIN -Part I-Bert Farias Holy Fire Ministres
    19
    "Flee sexual immorality" (1 Cor. 6:18).

    "I smell sex!" said the prophet as he stood at the podium of a formal student function. "And some of you who are planning to get married are making a big mistake." Those were the words of the late Kenneth E. Hagin speaking to his Bible school students years ago. Apparently the unclean odor of a spirit of lust had gotten into the prophet's spiritual nostrils and he reproved his students. Many were making marriage plans based on lust instead of the will of God.

    This wasn't the first time something like this happened at the school. I was present when he came into class one time, his face red like a tomato. I told my classmate that morning on the way to school that I sensed something was up with Brother Hagin. When he walked on the platform to teach I knew instantly that this was not going to be your normal class. He opened the Bible up to Ephesians 4 and began to talk about the unclean spirit of homosexuality. The conviction of the Holy Ghost was so thick I wanted to get on my face and groan. There were a number of students involved in this practice and Brother Hagin called their number.

    It's moments like these when the seriousness of sexual sin makes its mark on you and leaves you with the fear of God. Every form of sexual immorality is forbidden in scripture. It is the sin most emphasized in both the Old and New Testaments.

    Bert is a good friend of mine.

    Bro Hagin used to say that when the Bible mentioned 'unclean spirit' that he thought it was referring to a homosexual spirit.

    Though some prominent Christian forebears have voiced support — earlier this year, Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Amy Grant both made headlines for standing up for the LGBTQ community — the transformation is more a matter of technology than tolerance. Semler does not rely on a Christian music label or Christian radio, instead using social media and streaming platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify to bypass the traditional gatekeepers of Christian music.

    This basically boils down to no one in the Christian community wanting to seem 'intolerant' and also chance getting canceled for standing against it. In spite of what the Bible clearly says. Cowards.

    I quit following Amy after all that, and Vince Gill. Vince needs to get his house in order, jus saying. I prayed for her when she had that heart surgery, praise Jesus she came out of that and was healed. I mean all that came about shortly after she got healthy enough to perform again. She cut a new album even. That really shocked me when she did that. I stay away from Switchfoot as well. You got to wonder if the anointing is still on them folks anymore.
