God allows what we allow back to freedom of choice free moral agency and He still does to this very day whether you're a sinner or saint but it will all show up in the judgments, fair warning

 There's all kinds of churches out there since there's always been a counterfeit to the truth but there's only one true Church. And this includes counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders very clearly defined in the Word of Truth. This is why the word tells us or commands us to test the spirits and so many other things like that, the Word of God is full of warnings. Fair warning, no pun intended. Shalom

 all of the early disciples were not even born again so this does not really apply to what this article is saying and to say that the Holy Spirit will work through people that are not Born of the Spirit is as ridiculous as I've ever heard anything in my last 31 years of being saved and in full-time Ministry for the last 20 years. The Holy Spirit is Holy and gay people are not Holy but unholy so maybe you need to do a short study on the word hagios and how it's used in the New Testament. If demons are able to put a sickness on a person they are certainly able to take it off in order to deceive people. And in this article it says that people are being saved in this gay church but what are they being saved from? Heterosexuality? It's about time that the true Church realizes that the devil is an evil genius, a master deceiver and professional counterfeiter. He's the best of the best when it comes to these operations since he also operates in the supernatural being a supernatural being disguising himself as an angel of Light yet in reality he's the top archangel of utter darkness. In other words he's really really good at what he does. That's why he's called the god of this world.

 The moment we are gloriously Born Again we've been given the authority and dominion over all and any sin, over sickness, over poverty, over fear, over the world, over the flesh, just to name a few because we are a New Creation in Christ the Second Adam in the same way that the Dominion was given to the first Adam before the Fall of Man we now have that same Dominion restored back through the Second Adam, and this is what these Calvinists and Cessationists just don't get because of their erroneous theology and false interpretations of the Word of Truth in which they will give an account in the Judgment Seat of Christ.

 Well there's a difference between habitual sin and infrequent sinning if I can say it that way and I'm very well aware of what the word of God has to say about putting off the old man and putting on the new man in Ephesians 4:22-24 as well as the engrafted word which is able to save or deliver our soul because the part of us that will continually sin to some degree is the soul James 1:21 and not the regenerated spirit until the believer does something about his soul which is all part of mind renewal also found in Romans 12:2. And from what I've seen over the years most believers don't grow spiritually therefore they remain stagnant or even backslide which is where the habitual sinning comes into play. I myself still sin after 31 years of being gloriously born again but I no longer sin like I used to before I was born again not even close to it thank God because I never went back to my vomit and everything God freed and delivered me from I never went back to it like smoking, drinking, fornicating, self-gratification, coarse language just to name a few. And the more I give my soul over to the process of sanctification which carries the word holy from the Greek word hagios the more my soul will line up with what I already am in spirit which is the part of me that is a new creation in Christ and that is what God is looking for in his church which is greatly lacking at this time. Shalom

 Are you following "Jesus" or are you following "another jesus" as in a counterfeit jesus?

 When it comes to smoking, after I got saved I seem to have lost all desire for smoking because I was no longer drinking alcohol and coffee anymore but I began to have one cigarette once a week at a friend's place and one night on my way there I heard the audible voice of the Lord saying he did not want me to smoke but I had a cigarette that night and halfway through that cigarette I got so sick I was in my friend's bathroom for 2 hours and I never had a cigarette again and that's 31 years ago yet I had smoked for 16 years before I was born again. Because of the way the soul works you can have Holiness working in certain areas of your life yet have unholiness working in other areas, my recommendation is to do a deep study of what the word says about who and what you are in Christ and begin to meditate those verses as much as you can every day because the word of God has been given to us in seed form which is what The Parables of the sower are all about and as you keep meditating and coming in agreement with what the word says about who and what you are in Christ those words will begin to grow on the inside of you in your soul and eventually you will lose all desire for smoking and many other things will come out of this and this is all part of sanctification or even discipleship, it's part of the process of growing from a child of God into a son of God called sonship, and this my brother is part of putting off the old man and putting on the New Man who happens to be Christ. Hope that helps.
