The Elder Board of San Francisco's largest evangelical church, City Church, has announced that the megachurch will end its practice of preventing LGBT people from becoming members if they are unwilling or unable to practice lifelong celibacy.

And just what/who determines this "church" is evangelical?

In seeking to be more precise than other pollsters, Barna distinguishes between “born again” and “evangelical” and categorizes the latter based upon affirmation of 9 theological aspects. Under such, only 8% of US adults doctrinally qualify as “Evangelicals” (2004 survey), while 38% of US adults classify as born again, but not Evangelical.

What it gets down to in all these surveys is if those who call themselves Evangelical or even Born Again adhere to Biblical principles. Seems people love to grab on to labels because they go to a certain church.

This SF mega church obviously is kicking aside God’s Law and Gospel by inviting in sinners without repentance.
