Pastor Antonio Rocquemore of Power House International Ministries in Chicago, Illinois, is coming under fire from advocates of the LGBTQ community for publicly rebuking a male member who came to his church dressed as a woman Sunday night.
In response, Rocquemore said the male member had been repeatedly warned that he would not be allowed to dress like a female during worship service.

Good for the pastor.
1 Corinthians 5:9-13——
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked person from among you.[d]
Almost misleading headline. To me “under fire” hints that the Pastor was facing some kind of disciplinary action. It appears it’s just the usual suspects whining and crying. (as usual)
Luke 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

Yup. I’ve learned to read “upset the PC left” whenever I see the term, “under fire”.
What pastorr or elder board wouldn’t do that?

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Acts 4:19-20
“What pastorr or elder board wouldnt do that?”

Yeah, as I said, this is supposed to be the norm for a church. Good for this pastor and his congregation.
Good job, Pastor!
Deuteronomy 22:5
Not a really difficult decision when you are following Scripture and not the winds of emotion and public opinion.
A challenge churches may face is what to do when a victim of gender dysphoria who has had surgery becomes a Christian. They will natural have lots of questions and doubts. How does the church treat them, as their surgically chosen physical gender, or how God made them.
I know of one church that had to deal with this years ago. Because of the radical sexual background of the individual, they, probably with his assent made sure he was never alone in the church property. I don’t know how it all turned out.
But for those who think they are another gender, or a donkey or a squirrel, the church leadership is correct to remove them from being a massive distraction.
How about LBGTQFUBAR
Rule One: NO POOFTERS!
Poor choice of words by the CP, I’d say.
“How does the church treat them, as their surgically chosen physical gender, or how God made them.”

I imagine having a chromosome check for Xs and Ys would be of help in clearing up confusion on what’s what - or who’s what, no?
There was a time when such checks couldn’t be made so when you had the these rare cases back in the day and you had cases where someone could actually be “a woman trapped in the body of a man” (and vice versa). The doctors just had go by their best guess.
What happened to the repeated assurances from the Fag brigade that Christians would be perfectly free to conduct their business within their churches as they saw fit, notwithstanding forced same-sex marriage on society?
Dont they even remember what they promised us?
