What happens when a church is infiltrated by a homosexual agenda?

Image
The Methodist Church, the largest mainline Protestant denomination in the United States, is headed toward a divorce because of homosexual sin. In early January, mediators from across the United Methodist Church proposed a separation plan to split the church into two separate denominations, with one that will allow non-biblical sinful homosexual marriages and “practicing” LGBTQ clergy. The pro-homosexual denomination would now be apostate according to scripture.  Members of the General Conference, the church’s legislative body, are expected to pass the proposal in May. If a split occurs, it will be the result of homosexual ideology seeping into Biblically illiterate Christians. The origin of the debate The United Methodist Church was formed in 1968 by the union of the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church. At that time in the United States, the civil rights movement and the immoral homosexual liberation movement were both underways. The new United ...

Conservative Christians Just Retook the United Methodist Church from LGBT sin

Image
The mainline denomination voted on Tuesday to toughen its teachings against sinful homosexuality, fake gay marriage, and immoral LGBTQ clergy. It must now decide whether it will stay together. The United Methodist Church has fractured over the role of sinful LGBTQ people in the denomination. At a special conference in St. Louis this week, convened specifically to address divisions over LGBTQ issues, members voted to toughen prohibitions on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ clergy.  This proposal called the “One Church Plan,” was designed to keep the denomination together. Methodist delegates rejected its recommendations, instead choosing the so-called Traditional Plan, which affirmed the denomination’s teachings against homosexuality. Well done! This is a consequential vote for the future of the United Methodist Church: Many progressive churches will now almost certainly consider leaving the denomination. It’s also a reminder that many Christian denominations, including mainline gr...

World’s oldest Methodist chapel to host homosexual ‘celebration’

Image
The oldest Methodist chapel in the world is about to be the site of an LGBT “celebration,” in direct contradiction of Scripture and the chapel’s own founder. On Saturday, the pro-homosexual group Christians At Bristol Pride will hold a “Service of Celebration” at The New Room in John Wesley’s Chapel in London, Christian Concern reports . The chapel was built in 1778 under the direction of English theologian John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. The pro-gay group says the event will be “an affirming service with songs, prayers and symbolic actions,” after which attendees will be invited to attend the LGBT “pride” march in Bristol town centre. Christians at Bristol Pride have also printed materials bearing the message “God affirms you” for homosexuals. “It's true that all people, made in God's image, have inherent dignity – and that all who turn to Jesus are welcomed – but the message 'God affirms you' leaves out the need to turn away from what is wrong in God'...

UK Methodists begin consultation on conducting same-sex ‘marriages’

Image
The Methodist Church in the UK is undertaking a consultation of its members about whether the church should become the first Christian denomination in Britain to offer church “weddings” to same-sex couples. Members of the approximately 5,000 Methodist congregations across Britain have been given until February 10, 2014 to express their views on same-sex "marriage," when the results of the consultation will be assessed by the Methodist Conference, the church’s policy-making body. The church could become the first Christian denomination in Britain to offer church “weddings” to same-sex couples. The Methodist Church currently defines marriage as a “gift of God” that is “a lifelong union in body, mind and spirit of one man and one woman.”  However, the Methodist Conference has  stated  that this definition is now "at odds" with the terms of the UK's Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, which comes into force next year.  In July the Methodist Conference set...
