Just read Archbishop Jensen’s speech at All Souls… I agree with him that sexual immorality excludes you from the Kingdom,. However what if re-marraige after divorce is sexual immorality?

Furthermore where in the Bible is the doctrine of first order and second order issues to be found?

Jesus never said, “ obey all my commandments and grade them into first and second order issues.”

When Paul spoke as an Apostle , he spoke as Jesus ( he that hears you, hears me)when he decreed that women should have no authority over men and remain silent in Church.

A person who is ordained an Ambassador of Christ and commissioned to preach the Gospel can no way be described as a second order issue.

By the way I suspect his comment that GAFCON may unite Ebangelicals and Anglo-Catholics may raise some eye brows in Sydney Protestant circles, including his own brother.
