I never said the differences were petty. I said the fingerpointing ia petty.
For example you call the LDS church a cult.
Based on what? That you disagree with them? That they try to convert people? ( As a Baptist you are called to do that too) That they tithe? ( again, I bet you do that)

Or is it just that you disagree with them? Should Mormons call the Baptist church a cult?

I am a Christian. Was a Lutheran, baptised into a Baptist church..... and NO they did not accept my Lutheran baptism.. and NO when I go to a Lutheran church they won’t let me take communian.

My husband’s family is Mormon and they are the kindest nicest people you would ever want to meet. They love Jesus and daily thank him for their blessings. I have never been shunned, or treated with disrespect by them. I have not seen hypocrisy. They live what they beleive.

I’ll be damned if I will point fingers because a lot of their interpretation of Bible is different than mine.

Obviously we disagree and that is fine with me. God will sort it all out in the end. Churches are made by MAN. Salvation is of God.
HOW we worship differs.... I suspect God understands...after all we are just human.

Have a wonderful day.

Being nice doesn’t get you to heaven, Jesus does. And the LDS church believe in a FALSE Christ. That is not ‘petty’ at all. It isn’t ‘how they live’ that is the issue, it is WHAT THE BELIEVE. My GOD, defend your faith woman!

I call the LDS church a ‘cult’ not based upon tithing (which by the way i DON”T do - because I do not limit it to only 10% - I give as I am led which is often more) - nor because of their evangelism. I call them a ‘cult’ because they fit ALL THREE DEFINITIONS of a “cult”.

They are a cult anthropologically - a religion

They are a cult sociologically - a high demand group that exerts unnecessary and abusive control.

And they are a cult theologically - their theology is opposed to both the Bible and Orthodox Christianity.

The LDS have called Christians far worse than a ‘cult’.

If you are a Christian as you claim, then you would not adopt a ‘live and let live attitude” rather you would (and should) be aggressive in teaching them the message of Salvation by Grace thru faith ALONE, something the LDS church does not teach in the least.

It is not loving to let someone go to Hell!!!

Was it a ‘fundamentalist Baptist church’? Because they are rather rigid, but both the Southern and American Baptist Churches I worked at DID accept Lutheran baptism/confirmation.

And frankly I am sick and tired of people who defend the LDS church and don’t witness to them while the LDS TRASH, STEAL AND INSULT MY SAVIOR, TRASH THE BIBLE, LIE ABOUT CHRIST AND MAKE A MOCKERY OF HIS SACRIFICE.

CHRIST TOLD THE TRUTH AND DREW LINES IN THE SAND, HE MADE IT CLEAR AND THE LDS TWIST IT. AND I WILL NOT LET THEM INSULT MY LORD AND MY GOD.

If you do, then YOUR faith is also suspect, because you are not following the commandments of God either.

Then you would suspect wrongly...

God doesnt understand rejection of His Son, Jesus...

For the false prophet Joey Smith..

Which is what mormonism does...

And our human condition is no excuse for practicing a pagan religion...

Which is what mormonism is...

Jesus said to flib and the mormons, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by me.” John 14:6

Based on what?

KJV

 Galatians 1:6-9

 6.  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
 7.  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
 8.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
 9.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
 

 

 

 

ANYBODY???

2 Corinthians 11:12-15

 12.  But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
 13.  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
 14.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
 15.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

 

 

Like THESE guys??

17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!

HOW we worship differs....

WHO we worship makes all the difference in the WORLD.

Have a wonderful day.

And a BLESSED Forever.

I knew some Buddhists once and THEY were very nice, too!

Is your HUSBAND Mormon?

[Graybeard58]

( As a Baptist you are called to do that too) That they tithe? ( again, I bet you do that)

Yes but I've never had to show my income tax return to a church official to prove it.

[reaganaut]

FTR, I am NOT Baptist, you just assumed that. I used to work for a couple of Baptist Churches several years ago (as a youth leader/director at one and a secretary/teacher at the school attached to the other).

I have always been non denominational since leaving the LDS.

[reaganaut]

- - - - -
their interpretation of the Bible is different from GOD’s. Apparently yours is too.

[reaganaut]

HOW we worship differs.

- - - - -
NO, WHO we worship differs. The LDS do not worship Christ, they only worship God the Father (a separate and distinct God) and I can source that if you wish, but I don’t expect a response.

Sigh...
