But you weren’t given over to a reprobate mind, were you.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-15
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

2 Timothy 2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but be gentle unto all men, able to teach, and always patient.

We don't have a right, I think, to despair of other people's salvation, or to quit reaching out to them. God only can read their minds and hearts, and by God's grace repentance is possible, yes, even to the last breath.

Whatever I was given over to, only God knows. But He did rescue me, despite sins as bad as those of anybody you will encounter at a Gay Pride Parade.
