Then, until the day he died, you would never have known if he was delivered or not from the sin. And so, I guess you would never be able to say that a person who *was* a homosexual had ceased to be one, because up until the day they die, they could potentially commit a homosexual act again (thus proving they were never actually free of the control of that sin). Sorta like being saved, from an NC standpoint -- if the person perseveres till the day they die, then they were saved all along. If they backslide or turn away from the faith, then they were never really saved in the first place.
