I don’t think it is possible to be a born again Christian and be with a homosexual partner

You already said he was professing to be a Christian. I wasn't saying a practicing homosexual could not become a Christian. I was saying that any person professing to be a Christian who is living a homosexual relationship out continually with a homosexual partner is probably a wolf.

And I'm saying anyone who says he has come to faith in Christ and who continues unrepentant in his sin is giving evidence of fake faith. And if he is public and proud of his sin and considers it just fine and dandy and NOT a sin, then I'm certain I'm dealing with a wolf.

You tell me...does you friend believe he is sinning OR does he think living in a homosexual relationship is OK?

I don't know. I haven't seen him for years. But I know that that more condemned he feels about his homosexuality, the more stuck he will be. The more he feels like he's a "wolf", the tighter grip this stronghold will have over him. The condemnation of the law never delivers anyone. The law makes sin worse because "the strength of sin is the law" (1 Cor 15:56).

I also know that the more he embraces the grace of God's unconditional love and forgiveness because of Jesus, the more free he will be (Rom 6:14). And to the degree he accepts that he is the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor 5:21) and that God does not count his sins against him but keeps his promise that he does not remember his sins and iniquities (Heb 8:12), he will walk in victory over this bondage and "will reign in life" (Rom 5:17).
