I read where this "Evangelical church" besides formerly allowing homosexuals communion, membership, etc. also allowed homosexuals to be baptized, so their move to allow homosexuals to be leaders isn't such a far move after all!

Baptism after all requires repentance and evidently Grace Point never believed homosexuals had anything to repent of.

No surprise they should continue their slide further into fully welcoming homosexuals into leadership and possibly pastoral roles?

It sounds as though the pastor of this congregation of anything you do is okay is all about the $$$ and will tickle even the gay member ears for more. What happens when persons practicing polygamy want to join? Or if a group practicing polyamory want to join? What can they say as these groups can use all the same arguments the gays use.

No, it is different. Someone feeling same-gender attraction is not neccessarily the same as someone acting on it. If someone is willing to live one’s life chaste and not engage in homosexual acts, that is fine. It still is a far move to allow people who praise immoral sexual acts to lead a religion. I would see it just as bad as me celebrating over my sins.
