I'll excerpt comments -- and add a few comments later in the thread...
I don't want to "out of place" comments yet on this God-glorifying testimony!
Wow. Let’s pray this spreads like wildfire.
There is owrd that Christianity is quickly spreading in the Muslim world as well.
Thanks for posting.
Say what you will, the Mormons are great people!! </sarc>
Seriously, this is what is promised to us in Scripture.
I am always cheered and grateful when people come from under darkness. May their new found Christian faith be blessed
Great testimony, a real testimony.
The word would be correct.
I know two people who have started underground Bible believing churches in Iraq (I am sure else where as well), a few years ago they started twelve in East Germany.
Uhh, Mormons ARE Christians.
Just got this email:

Well, we are on our way West. Mike and I are traveling with the Adam’s Road tour this summer. I’m so excited I can hardly stand it!
Need for someone to help get this word out on social media today. Thank you!

This is an AMAZING book. Well worth the read.
They follow a different Christ.
Uhhh...no they are not, their theology makes them NOT Christian.
Want details? I can provide them.
Nice post....
I wonder how Mormons would reconcile this with Philippians 3:17-19?
17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
Seems the Mormons are throwing in with some pretty bad company.
Years ago, as a very new Christian, I was confronted by a Mormon friend over a cross that I wore under my t-shirt. He was quite offended by it when he saw in the locker room of the gym. As I reflect on this incident years later and compare with the teaching of Paul, it is clear that my friend thought he was giving me spiritual enlightment when in fact, he was showing his own spiritual darkness.
Sorry. They’re not Christians. Maybe they could be considered “small-S ‘christians’”, in that they’re not Jewish, Muslim, etc. But they’re not Christians. When a group’s focus is primarily on the dictates of a human, whether Joseph Smith, the pope, etc., that belief is a cult.
“They follow a different Christ.”
There’s another one?
Who knew!
What about them Catholics and Orthodox? Are there third and fourth Christs for them?
See Philippians 3:17-19 and you'll see that the Apostle Paul had a much different conclusion about those who hold the cross in derision.
Nope. Only the Mormon one is a separate being from God the Father. Only the Mormon one didn’t do enough to save sinners so that they can receive the best that His Kingdom offers. Only the Mormon one got down from the cross and visited America.
“I read my Bible, sometimes hours a day, and truly felt I was being washed,” Wilder explained. “In its pages, I met a Jesus who was able to save me from my life of working to be ‘good.’”
Turned me totally off...to him and anything he ever said to me again.
Had a mormon "bishop" basically do the same....and he was a RACIST to boot.
I know some mormons that are good solid people....but I think they are hoodwinked.
FWIW-
