I would say that a follower of Christ is a follower of Christ and that Sanctification is an ongoing process. Repentance comes through Salvation but it may not be immediate. You are not Saved by your abstinence from sin.
My experience is that if you push people against their sin, they will be forced to make a decision between sin and Salvation. The modern church does not do that.
Well written. The gay acceptance is because we don't talk about sin too much.
I guess I would say unless one sees his sin he will never think he needs a Savior.. I think it is our sin that drives us to the cross..
