It may also be heretical, but I believe that God WILL know his own, whatever church they attend. Hallelujah!
there is no doubt in my mind that the folks running that school are more likely to make it to heaven than I am.
If you profess in Jesus as your Savior, you don't have anything to worry about ;). It's a good thing that our salvation doesn't depend on us!
As for Mitt Romney, he sounds impressive and much more decent than the alternatives. However the liberals don't appreciate anything or anyone who is decent. They want the 'anything goes' candidate.

Some of the folks commenting here seem to read the Bible a little differently than I do. Mormons (myself included)do believe that our salvation depends just a little bit on what we do; "Without works, faith is dead." Works aren't enough, can't be enough no matter how many works or how much work they are, but we see them as a necessary downpayment for the mercy and grace of God. If we do the best we can, he'll know that. If we don't, he'll know that, too.
Funny thing, while I'm defending my religion, and the specific system of beliefs it involves, I'm not too hyped on Mitt Romney myself. He's been too liberal for my taste, and his conservatism is a bit late in coming. Sort of like the death-bed conversion Mormons don't particularly like to see approved by Baptists. I know many of those are genuine, but I believe many are not, too. Glad I don't have to judge them, but I'm going to have to see some "works" before I change my judgement of Mr. Romney. For those who've said similar things, my only real comment is approximately "Well Said!"
