b'Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely NYE celebration, hopefully, safe and at home.\\xa0\\nIn today\\u2019s episode, we received a reader question on Tumblr asking how to be proud of who you truly are and still be a Christian despite learning that being queer is a sin. \\u201cIs there anything in the Bible on accepting yourself and being proud of who you are without it being vanity?\\u201d\\xa0\\nWe also queered the text from Acts which Fr. Shay loves because of how the early Christian community is messily and gloriously human. It also shows that if there is a compelling message or movement people always want to be part of it.

He asked them, \\u201cDid you receive the Holy Spirit when you came to believe?\\u201d\\nThey replied, \\u201cWe\\u2019ve not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.\\u201d\\nThen he said, \\u201cWhat baptism did you receive, then?\\u201d\\nThey answered, \\u201cJohn\\u2019s baptism.\\u201d\\nPaul explained, \\u201cJohn baptized with a baptism by which people showed they were changing their hearts and lives. It was a baptism that told people about the one who was coming after him. This is the one in whom they were to believe. This one is Jesus.\\u201d After they listened to Paul, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in other languages and prophesying. Altogether, there were about twelve people.\\nPhoto by Jeremy Bishop\\n\\n \\nThe post Grow And Change – Acts 19:1-7 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
