Romans 6:16  Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

I Believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as set out in the Apostle's Creed and Nicene Creed of the Christian Faith. I also hold to the Vineyard Statement of Faith (on VCFUK Website)

I believe that active homosexuality is not the will of God for our lives, and that he has something better for us.

I believe that same-sex attractions are not chosen, but acting out of same-sex behaviour is a choice which is not inevitable.

I believe until more conclusive evidence is presented, that homosexuality is not genetic per se. I acknowledge that it may have some hereditary aspect to it, which may lead to a propensity toward same-sex attraction, but that this in and of itself does not mean that homosexuality is to be accepted as a lifestyle. But I also believe that even if homosexuality is wholly genetic, that we are called to walk in the spirit and can live lives that please God.

I believe that the Bible does not under any circumstances condone sexual activity between members of the same sex . See Joe Dallas' discussion on the subject.

I believe an unwanted same-sex attraction can be changed through submission to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

Whereas I would like to change, I believe that God is sovereign, and that he has the right to choose, for his own reasons, to allow us to remain attracted to the same sex for the rest of our lives on earth if he wants to. Nevertheless, I choose to resist these attractions, and to strive for greater christlikeness in every aspect of my life, including my sexuality.
