With all due respect, a person does not necessarily stop having a homosexual orientation simply because they come to faith in Christ (unless, of course, God works a supernatural miracle?) and the Bible does not say that they do. That is simply your interpretation and application of the Word of God which I happen to think is simplistic and nieve in the extreme.
Yes the Bible does say that if any man is in Christ then he is a new creation. This means that he is under "new management". He is now justified before God and adopted as a son, a part of the Body of Christ (after his water baptism and reception of the Spirit), the commonwealth of Israel.
He must now begin the process of re-calibrating himself and his entire world-view to bring himself into line with what God says about Himself, the universe and the rest of ultimate reality. This will probably take the new Christian the rest of his natural life until he graduates (dies and is resurrected or is transformed at the resurrection). The technical term for this is called "sanctification".
This does not, however, mean that his persona is instantly "wiped" and "re-formatted" at the point when one "crosses over from death to life" (Jn.5:24), as one can wipe and re-format a computer, effectively having a "brand new" persona on which to start again. You cannot just wipe out their whole existence prior to becoming a believer and proceed like it just never happened, effectively treating them as if they were conceived "only yesterday" (an inverted form of reincarnation - same body, different persona)?! That is NOT what Scripture means by being "born-again"!
"My God says he is a new creature and he is no longer a homosexual!
You are the one putting the burden of being celibate on him or her,
Jesus Christ Died to set the captives free!
Not for them to remain in bondage to sin!"
How many times do I have to keep saying this?! Getting unclean thoughts of a homosexual nature is not a sin unless you dwell upon and subsequently act upon them (Jas.1:15), since, as a Christian he should be "taking captive every thought and making it obedient to Christ" (2Cor.10:5) just as Jesus did (Heb.4:15) when he received unclean thoughts (temptations) including homosexual ones (tempted in every way), yet was without sin!
If your theology cannot grasp this then I see no point in continuing this discussion as we will just end up going round in circles?
I suggest that you get another Christian whom you respect and regard as mature (maybe your minister or someone?) to read my posts and get them to explain it to you?
