Diagnosing the root belief driving a gay-identifying Christian friend — four possible positions

Mike identifies four possible positions a gay-identifying Christian friend might hold: (1) they believe the Bible supports homosexuality (Matthew Vines / Reformation Project position); (2) they are Christian in name but don't accept biblical authority; (3) they reject it all but keep Christian identity; (4) they feel their true self is homosexual and authenticity demands living it out. Understanding which view the person holds is key to addressing the real problem.
