What if a person accepted Jesus as their Lord and personal savior. Went to church and was very active. Then one day they decided that they were gay and started to live the life of a gay person. They still believe in the Word of God. Will they go to heaven? The Word says that once we have accpeted Jesus we have eternal life. Life that exists everlastingly.

I am a Christian woman. I accepted the the Lord at the age of 12. There have been many things that I have done and repented for and know I was forgiven. I still continue to sin, as we all do. Does that mean I am going to hell?

I feel in my heart of hearts my friend: that you already know the answer to this question!!
You cannot loose your salvation through Christ: & God won’t take it away from you: but just as you 'Chose' to accept it... you can choose to 'Give it up'!!
Gods: for want of better words... rules, regulations, guidance, etc, for the way he expects us to live our lives as Christians: are very plainly and clearly laid out for us in the words of the Bible!!
To me what you are asking is the same as… “Now I am saved from my sin & and forgiven in Jesus, and have my ticket to heaven”: is it ok if I … Murder… steal… rape… lie… cheat… blaspheme… Become Gay: or continue to live in sin some other way etc!!!
The answers for which again… You all ready know!!!
We all sin and fall short... but the question your asking is not just about a 'Sin'... its about a lifestyle choice!!!
Sorry to be the barer of bad news!!

Nobody goes to heaven...there's nothing special about homosexuals, but it's always an incredibly popular topic and gets loads of answers...makes you wonder why?
Homosexuality is a normal human variation, human sexual orientation is not chosen, people don't just decide one day that they will be gay, they might accept one day that yes, they are gay ...but that is quite a different thing.
Sexuality is influenced mainly by genetics, by the hormonal environment in the mothers womb plus possibly early familial & societal circumstances and a whole lot of other factors none of us can choose, potential sexuality is fixed at birth or shortly after in very early infancy, homosexuality is not a choice and guess what it's not a sin either... if you are a Christian you might like to check out the Lesbian & Gay Christian Movement and find out what they say about what the Bible actually says about homosexuality:

If a person is truly a Christian, the gay lifestyle may seem enjoyable for a season, but it will eventually make you feel empty and apart from God. After we are saved, our sins can no longer cause us spiritual death but they can interfer with our relationship with the Father. The Bible also says that we can "sin unto death", which is the fact that if you are sinning so much on this earth that it is damaging the message of Christ, God will take you home rather than let you be a hindrance to His plan. We all have sins that we deal with on a daily basis, whether it be drunkenness, idotatry, adultery, fornication, lying, stealing, or homosexuality. None of these are the unforgivable sin. The only unforgivable sin is not giving your life over to Christ. That is the one sin that will send you to hell.

Fisrt of all if your TRULY have accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you will never want to become a homosexual or lesbian, so if someone claims they have accepted Jesus, & go and become a homoseaxual or lesbian, that shows they really never have accepted Christ, Now if someone is a homosexual or lesbian, they can change their lives & accept Jesus Christ, & change from that of their old paths, Yes you can be delivered from that kind of sin, But to say that you have accept Jesus & still want to be Homosexual, Lesbians, something is wrong Homosexuals & Lesbians is against God's word, so how can someone do these things & claims to be saved. YOU CAN'T. Now can Homosexuals & Lesbians be saved, Yes, but once they are, they will turn away from their wicked & sinful ways. So now to say can a person be homosexual & be saved at the same time. NO. But a homosexual can get saved & turn away from sin & go to heaven. But not if they died as a homosexual or lesbian.

unwell ought to assert no Graham. That answer is depending on the present close to lack of existence journey study. All extreme evidence appears pointing to a Heaven packed with spirits not bodies. The Spirit is what's left over after we've conquer count number. Homosexuality is appropriate to the textile body not the non secular realm. Jesus stated that in Heaven we won't be able to marry so i imagine all which will proceed to be of the sexual journey interior the land previous often is the bright psychological excitement it gave us even as right here. a feeling previous our wildest objectives. This excitement might want to possibly be accessible to us at any time there, not only in the course of the act of creating love. do not ever forget Heaven is depending on the finest of affection that we've realized even as right here so it truly is going to fairly be a really severe position as far as excitement is going.

When you belive in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be saved. True belief is manifested by the desire to serve God by loving everyone else and obeying his word. We all fall short but God promised to forgive us when we confess our sin. A homosexual lifestyle is in violation of God's word just as lying, adultery, failing to love others (including homosexuals) stealing or any other sin.
Just look at what happened to the Israelites when they continually abandoned God's law through idolatry. God still stands ready to forgive Israel as a nation when they turn back to God. As a believer, we are compelled to seek a Godly life.

No, and only 144,000 will ever go to heaven. Homosexuality is forbidden in the Bible. But the good new is this. These individuals have a chance to come to know how the true God feels about this act of perversion, and they can turn around from doing these bad things only by relying on help from the Scriptures and through prayer. They can have a chance to live forever on a Paradise earth by this change in their thinking. Unrighteous people will not inherit the Kingdom.

The absolute destruction and total obliteration of two cities
to the point ashes
that it almost looks as if they never exsisted
is proof of the anger of God
Just as the angels have archangels and higher powers, the demons have what are called "principalities and powers.
It is possible that a demon prince is in charge of New York, Detroit, St Louis, or any other city.
Particular sins are prevalent in certain cities. One city might have rampant homosexuality, while another might be troubled by excessive lust.
In another, it may be witchcraft or spiritism.
Nations, as well as cities, can be gripped by demon power.
This could explain the willingness of the German people to tolerate the attempt of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi SS to exterminate all of the Jews in Europe.
The book of Daniel tells of a struggle between the Archangel Michael and the demonic "Prince of Persia" (see Daniel 10:12-13,20).
You wonder why is the devil able to come here and torment us
See this >Ezekiel 22:30 I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn't have to destroy the land, but I found no one
No one stands in the gap because people do not know how to pray
Who shall be a righteous man to seal the gap
the opening where demons travel back and forth?
I have sufficent prayer by placing a man whom I have found in the gap
It is the man who raised Jesus. He is a saint now in heaven
St Joseph seals the gap for me. When I begin to pray I seal the gap with him.
I see a great difference in my prayers and awesome miracles
Keep yourselves in the love of God;
wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And convince some, who doubt;
save some,
by snatching them out of the fire
Your guardian angel is grieving over you
and is in constant benediction for you.
Your soul is recording all of what you have become
awaken from your hypnotic spell
And come back to Jesus and become holy
tell the one you care about all this

Not unless they repent of their sins, and stop being homosexual. You can't believe in the words of God and be a homosexual. Then you are only believing in what you chose and what you don't choose.. You are changing the Bible and we know we aren't suppose to change the bible.
In other words, you are saying that because I believe in God and accept Him as my personal savior, then it is okay if I am a homosexual, but the Bible doesn't say that. The Bible tells quite clearly what will happen to ALL liars, drunkards, homosexuals, murderers, etc. unless you repent, and change your ways you will go to hell.

Awsome question! I've wondered that myself. I also believe in "once saved, always saved".
Only God can judge a person's heart and know for sure IF they were saved in the first place. And only He will be the final Judge in the end.
I'll have the correct answer to that when I meet the Lord in Heaven. Right now, I'm not sure.
But I'm sure that you'll get tons of differing view points!
