Funny you should mention John 3:36, because it seems that that passage invalidates any "historical definition" of the word "Christian" that may or may not have arisen. All you need to do to be a Christian is believe in Christ. The greatest commandment, that of loving your neighbor as yourself, follows naturally from that. And that's exactly what the UCC's message of inclusion does.

You clearly know nothing about the United Church of Christ. Their fundamental belief begins with "Jesus is Lord". The creedal statement, "Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ shall come again." is often spoken in UCC worship services.

what about in Romans where Paul clearly says that homosexuals shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

I've just been thrown out of a church for posting a verse from The Bible. That is so satisfying. I'm having a very enlightened day! I’m inviting everyone to join me and stand firm against the tyranny of a very sick and twisted church, the United Church of Christ in Alden, Iowa. Mattthew 34: 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

@ElCubanoConguero a message of exclusion - "be this way or God won't accept you" - is more effective at turning people away from God than it is at turning people towards God. GCC's message of inclusion - "come, see what we're like, we'll welcome you no matter what you currently are" - is a far better method of showing Christlike behavior to people you want to be saved. If they hear the message, success! But the point is that they can't hear the message if they are barred from hearing.

you are in error - to invite them to church is one thing - to consider them Christians is another thing. To believe in Christ means to be COMMITTED to Him in repentance and faith. If someone is openly living in sin (homosexuality, adultery, gossiper, liar, thief, etc) then that person does not have faith. Stop denying the scriptures - WHICH YOUR CHURCH DENIES and repent.
