If someone still walks in the darkness of his former life, he needs to seriously reconsider what he has believed and why it doesn't have a transformative impact on his life. If he believed, then he will understand that he has been "washed" and "sanctified."

Such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11)

A sodomite that continues to live in his filthy sodomite lifestyle is not saved. He has not "submitted to the righteousness of God" and is still "seeking to establish his own righteousness."

Common nonsporting.

"Seeking to establish his own righteousness" is trying to be righteous by your own works and law-keeping which you are promoting as the Jews have done since Moses.

"Submitting to the righteousness of God" is submittng to

the righteousness of God without the law [as] manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe

Rom 3:21-22.

So that NOW under the New Covenant of the Gospel of the Grace of Christ,

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved

Rom 10:13.

CHRIST is the ONLY issue.
