But when it comes to someone pointing to this passage and saying homosexuals changed, well, I’m not sure that’s what that passage is referring to.
ALAN CHAMBERSBut when it comes to someone pointing to this passage and saying homosexuals changed, well, I’m not sure that’s what that passage is referring to.
ALAN CHAMBERSIt’s something that’s been part of my tenure at Exodus over the last decade plus.
ALAN CHAMBERSThere wasn’t reparative therapy in Corinth. So in this passage I think people came to Christ and experienced a new life in him apart from the therapeutic process.
ALAN CHAMBERSFor 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.
ALAN CHAMBERSI am sorry we promoted sexual orientation change efforts and reparative theories about sexual orientation that stigmatized parents.
ALAN CHAMBERSSomeone’s always calling for my resignation. It’s nothing new.
ALAN CHAMBERSThrough biblical community in their local church, through honesty and transparency, sharing what it is that troubles them, being accountable.
ALAN CHAMBERSI’m looking at offering biblical holiness, not an unrealistic expectation for people that will leave them disappointed.
ALAN CHAMBERSWe will all struggle, we will all fall prey to some type of sin, some will fall prey to the same types of sin over and over again.
ALAN CHAMBERSI think it’s for me with regards to this issue I believe in justification at the point of salvation.
ALAN CHAMBERSI can attest to the fact that sexual orientation is not immutable and I urge the city council to vote no on this amendment.
ALAN CHAMBERSI’ll be very glad to tell them what my faults and my weaknesses are and the areas that I pray about in my life every day.
ALAN CHAMBERSI’m not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I’m not saying that that’s a mark of a mature believer at all.
ALAN CHAMBERSWithin the membership we have 270 or so members within the network of Exodus whether that’s a local member ministry, a counselor or one of our members of our church association.
ALAN CHAMBERSI know Christ. And that is secure. And I think that is something that actually helps believers pursue his holiness.
ALAN CHAMBERSCertainly anyone who comes to faith in Christ has a new heart and they have an opportunity for new life and that’s a wonderful thing.
