So you say that homosexuality is not a sin.

Tell me, do churches baptize children when the parents do not have a membership there?

Do churches typically look past ongoing transgressions like open swingers (who hold a monthly wife swapping party) to extend membership?

Hey, live and let live.

I never said homsexuality was not “a sin”

I said Christ would reach through that to baptize a child presented to him by two homosexuals

Your church must have a pretty stiff litmus test for infant baptism, if you must prove the parents were sinless

Most churches I’m aware of will not. The baptism ceremony involves the sponsors (usually the parents) of the candidate. They are required to affirm under oath that they will help guide the baptized to follow Christ and his teachings; pretty hard to do when they are openly UNREPTENTANT of their own sins!!
