		<description>I agree.  The question regarding someone&#039;s salvation must be navigated very carefully.  What I appreciated was his perspective on the gay gospel being defined as heretical based upon it&#039;s denial of repentance.  I thought that was a fresh perspective.  I&#039;ve heard Joe make that statement before and I love it.  I shall take it and make it mine. :)</description>

		<description>Very provocative and encouraging that I am not totally off in my observations.  I get real leery about questioning someone&#039;s salvation as an individual but have no problems in calling out false gospels.

To clarify, I believe the people inside the &quot;gay&quot; church may truly be seeking or saved but in my opinion deceived on matters of sexuality and identity.  I have lots of grace and mercy, even empathy, on that level.  However, the leaders of that church will be held accountable (to God ... just like all leaders) on what the true motivations are for what they are teaching and whether they have held fast to the Truth of Christ crucified and raised again for the salvation of sinners.  I believe gay centered church leaders who put the affirmation of being &quot;gay&quot; at the center of the gospel are in serious error.  Granted, they don&#039;t have to answer to me ... but I believe they will have to answer to Christ.

Again, just like all leaders do.

I love Joe Dallas&#039; response.  He says that he does not question whether a person is truly saved but the question he does ask is along the lines of the following, &quot;does Jesus define and guide my proclivities according to His will? ... or do my proclivities shape how I view Jesus in the context of my will?&quot;  It&#039;s a fair question for us all and I believe the best way to confront, on a personal level, any false gospel that is driven by anything other than preaching Christ crucified.</description>
