m,
If you have to add anything of your own works to Christ's death and shed blood, then you are not relying on Him alone as a Savior. Despite using terminology as you do, when you change the meaning of the words, you are talking about a belief that is wholly different than what a Christian means when they use the same words. And that is common in the mormon faith. They mean something very different from what Christian means when he uses Biblical words.
Sadly, mormons do not believe Christ ALONE is enough for salvation. To a mormon, Christ's death was insufficient to grant salvation.
Sadly, mormons do not know who Christ is. They wrongly identify Him as a god - not THE GOD. They believe he was a man who became God - and that, if they follow the mormon rules, they can be god of their own world. This is a heresy. It is the original sin of Satan - wanting to be God.
Sadly, mormons believe a host of things that are non-Biblical. Many, many, many. Including the "holy underwear".
Every discussion [emphasis on "every"] I've ever had with Mormons always ends the same. A refusal to believe what the Bible actually says and a retreat to experience - "... the burning they felt in their bosom." Every time. If you don't have objective truth, you have to retreat to subjective experience.
I simply post this so that anyone who does not know what Scripture teaches will not believe what you posted.

Would you say your views are Evangelical Christian?
Boy, you sure know everything. I just love it when you player-haters spew your stupid ideas of what other religions are. Since you are doing a lot of ASSuming, then I will assume you are the type of Christian who tries to convert people by telling them how stupid and wrong they are. You are the PETA of christians.
The concept you describe is actually untrue, nor is it what is described above in my other post.
You took what was said and twisted it into something else.
You are trying to say that I said that Mormons believe we are 'assisting' Christ. That is not true. We are not assisting Christ's atonement.
What I am saying is Christ metes out what He will mete out. What He requires of each of us is obedience.
It moreso goes like this, Christ saying, "You didn't believe in me. You didn't follow anything I said. You didn't follow the commandments I gave...so why should I help you?"
The idea of earning your way to heaven is a lie and is not a Mormon belief, yet it is often twisted and attributed to Mormons. The idea of being obedient to God though is required. He told us how He will judge, at thats that.
Our obedience is not for His good. It is for OURS. He uses that method to teach us all how to be good children.
You are the one that added in the notion that someone's obedience somehow 'assists' Christ, as though He is unable to accomplish things on His own.
Despite using terminology as you do, when you change the meaning of the words
Which words are those? Change relative to what? What your set of beliefs are? I didn't 'change' jack. I stated the way it is. I did not state 'how it is relative to XYZ other religion'. I don't know what every Amish, Catholic, Methodist, or Baptist means by certain words, however I stated my own.
Fact of the matter though it goes beyond words and into concepts.
Here is an honest question for you. Please answer directly and don't change the subject. Is Christ our Judge? If so, how?

That is a blatant lie on your behalf.
