1. FPN’s opposition to homosexuality is aimed at behavior. It is not opposition toward people. 2. The Bible declares that homosexuality is unnatural and sinful. It is a sin grievous to God and repulsive behavior because it rejects God’s design for mankind as heterosexual beings. 3. Opposition to homosexuality is based on a desire to be faithful to God and His written Word. 4. People who engage in homosexual behavior should be encouraged to stop in order to avoid heartache, disease and an untimely death. Further, any persons embracing rebellion toward God’s standard of righteousness should repent and trust Jesus Christ for forgiveness and fulfillment all people need in life. < < more on redemption >> 5. Though there may be many influences in a person’s life, the root of homosexuality is a sinful heart. Therefore, homosexuals (like heterosexuals) have only one hope of being reconciled to God and rejecting their sinful behavior – faith in Jesus Christ alone. FPN seeks to use every opportunity to promote and encourage the efforts of ex-homosexual ministries and organizations. 6. It is the duty of individual Christians and Christ’s Church to corporately bring the gospel to people who commit homosexual sex acts and to speak out against the acceptance of sin in the culture. 7. FPN opposes any acts of violence, hatred or mockery toward any group of people, including persons who engage in the homosexual lifestyle. Organizations and individuals supporting and/or using violence toward homosexuals do not represent Christianity, the Bible or Jesus Christ. 8. FPN opposes any efforts to convince society that homosexual behavior is normal. This opposition is the result of a healthy fear of God’s judgment that will otherwise be wrought on individual homosexuals and on our nation. 9. The homosexual political movement is a progressive outgrowth of the sexual revolution of the past 40 years and, if successful, will ultimately lead to the normalization of even more deviant behavior. 10. The homosexual movement’s promotion of same-sex marriage undermines the God-ordained institution of the family, which is the foundation of all societies. 11. FPN opposes the efforts of the homosexual movement to force its agenda and sentiments in schools, government, business and the workplace through law, public policy and media. FPN’s strong opposition is a reaction to the homosexual movement’s aggressive strategies. 12. FPN opposes any efforts to convince society that because individuals participate in homosexual behavior, they have earned the right to civil rights protections like racial minorities and other groups. 13. While FPN is resolute in its opposition to the homosexual movement, it recognizes the importance of maintaining Christian integrity in all our efforts. By God’s grace, FPN will not be bitter or hateful in word or deed toward anyone, despite disagreement in ideology. 14. FPN seeks to be faithful more than it seeks to be victorious. FPN works with the confidence that the one, true, sovereign God of the Bible will ultimately fulfill His purposes, in His own time. < < Click here for more information about forgiveness and salvation >>
