So why wayward, carnal. and former believers be left behind to be chastened by the Father? To be partakers of His holiness.
Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
So saved but yet wayward, carnal, and former believers being left behind will suffer what is coming, but it is only because God is still Father to them and Jesus is the Good Shepherd for He will lose none of all the Father has given Him. The Son will get that lost sheep ready to serve Him after the great tribulation.
There is still time yet for believers that have been overcome and thus has become homosexuals to ask Jesus for help in delivering them from that sin and other sins to be ready for the coming Bridegroom.
Otherwise, they shall suffer the fiery judgment coming and the subsequent great tribulation when Jesus will get them ready to serve Him when He comes as the King of kings after the great tribulation.
