This UPCI position paper, adopted by the General Board in September 2015, presents fornication, adultery, polygamy, homosexuality, bestiality, incest and transgenderism as improper expressions of human sexuality. On homosexuality it states: "God's Word is very clear regarding homosexual behavior," citing Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26-27 and Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that the unrighteous, including homosexuals, will not inherit the kingdom of God. The paper closes by stating the church's mission is "not condemnation but reconciliation," inviting all people to be reconciled to God.
