If everything else they have done in their life has been OK?
Or is being gay/lebanese an automatic strikeout?

The Bible is rather explicit about that:
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 1Cor 6:9,10
Being gay is an automatic strikeout as much as being a slanderer, drunkard, greedy or the like.

Being gay is the same as any other sexual sin when it comes to entering heaven. The Bible does say that no adulterer shall enter the kingdom of God also. This does not mean that anyone who ever committed adultery or a homosexual act will not go to heaven, but it does mean that they have to acknowledge their sin, turn from it and trust in Jesus Christ to forgive them of their sin to enter heaven. Repentance is the key. God bless!!!

I don't think being lebanese is a strike out..I think you meant lesbian...=)
It is plan and simple sin is sin...there is not a sin that is worse than another in God's eyes. We will all be judged... If a Gay person has asked Jesus into their heart then yes I believe they will be in heaven..

God's word is the same for everyone.
We get saved by the grace of God, not by anything you do or not do. His directions are the part of the deal. If you want to be gay and go to heaven, you might want to try Jesus as a way. I do not think no one will make it to heaven any other way.

I hope so - I am always bound to have more fun in a gay bar.
Listen, if you are a Christian, then awesome. Don't let some narrow minded people tell you if your faith is right or wrong. It's all between you and God. No one on Earth has the true knowledge to say - although they will say they do all day long.
Live your life with as much integrity and faith as you can and let everyone else do the same. God is your only judge -

I heard this in a sermon at Cornerstone MCC in Mobile AL. "Gay guys, Lesbians, take center and take delivery of that after the sector says your love is flawed or a sin they're flawed. Remember this..God knew you have been homosexual earlier than you have been born. God knew you have been homosexual earlier than you knew it. God watched you wrestle along with your orientation and cherished you via it. God created us homosexual since LOVE is greater than We are. God gave us a like to exhibit to the sector since GOD IS LOVE, God gave us a witness to exhibit that love is aware of no barriers, and will triumph over any main issue! Take center..your love for every different is a mirrored image of God's love and used to be organized by means of him." I am now not customarily devout...however....OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!

Bluntly, yes.
If you believe in God, you go to heaven (according to the bible).......
There are no automatic strikeouts.

homophilia will not send you to Hell
homosexuality, the lifestyle, will
feelings and urges do not make you a sinner
condoning and practicing sin makes you a sinner
rejecting Christ (especially through blatent disobedience once saved) gets you on the road to Hell. but there are off-ramps. I suggest people take them

All those which lived in scandelous sins on earth are showing clear evidence they are not Christians.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
However the good news is that the sin of homosexuality is is not the unforgiveable sin. The Bible tells us to call upon His name and to turn away from sin.
