We've been hearing about churches splitting up on account of this very topic for the last couple of years and because Churches are abandoning sound doctrine it's bound to happen that the Remnant Church will not tolerate this and it is my personal observation that because we are so close to our Redemption and will soon be Raptured out of this antichrist world indulging in a Romans 1 acceptance, Jesus is now doing the Separation of The Wheat from The Tares and exposing the false sheep within the flock...

"The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’
Matthew 13:13-30

It is too bad there are churches more concerned about conforming to this world than obeying Gods word. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah over the sin of homosexuality. Gods word has the final authority over what people think. We are in the world not of it.
