The reason we have distanced ourselves from it is because some of the things that they employ and some of the messages that I’ve heard from reparative therapists with regards to what someone can expect once they get through that type of therapy.
I believe in sanctification at the point of salvation. That doesn’t mean that we don’t continue to mature as believers in Christ. But I believe that we are justified and we are sanctified.
For other people who are involved in unrepentant sin whether it’s the sin of homosexual sexual expression or gluttony or pride or heterosexual sexual expression outside of a monogamous heterosexual marriage.
That, I think, sets people up for unrealistic expectations and is something that I’m not willing to offer when we’re sharing these types of messages or presenting what was presented to me.
But to say that people who have same-sex attractions are the only group of people who need to go to a therapist to completely resolve those attractions isn’t something I find biblically accurate.
