[This statement really surprises me. To me, you are saying that you are taking upon yourself the power of Christ to say who follows Him, and who doesn’t.

I firmly believe that He retains the privilege of making this judgment to Himself. I can only hope I qualify; but you do not get a vote in the matter. Please, do not try to abrogate such authority.]

That is quite an inherently flawed argument and the reason we believe Mormons will spin anything. If Hitler said he was a Christian, by your logic we would have no right to cull him from the Church. God decides who gets into heaven, but we have free will to decide what is right and wrong. Myself, and many others, believe Mormons are false prophets, we would be wrong not to speak up.

Here is a counter example. You probably don’t know this but I believe 100% in the BOM and Joseph Smith. I also believe in the Satanic Bible and blood sacrifices. I want to marry your sister - tell me why you object to another Mormon marrying your sister - but remember, don’t be judgmental.

Certainly, cull him from the church, but leave the judgment of whether or not he is a Christian up to Jesus. Kick him from FastCoyoteism as fast as you want for whatever you want, heck excommunicate me too If that trips your trigger.

There is a big difference between a church and a faith, we have faith in Jesus Christ and since you cannot tell if we really do or not, decorum demands that you give us the benefit of the doubt and accept our assertions that we believe what we say we believe.

God decides who gets into heaven, but we have free will to decide what is right and wrong. Myself, and many others, believe Mormons are false prophets, we would be wrong not to speak up.

Great, speak up, isn’t that what you are doing here?

Just remember this, your right to swing your arm ends at the tip of my nose. Basically your right to speak is not absolute. And you have no right to be heard. You may speak, I may listen, or ignore. You may not insist that I agree with you. You may not speak for me, or anyone else, without my/their permission. And lastly, this is not a public place, there are Mods and it belongs to Jim Robinson. I always like to think of myself as his guest. Any guest in my house who uses inappropriate language will be shown the door. I expect no less from the Mods of this forum.

It is my considered opinion, that you are wrong in your assessment of my faith, for I believe in Jesus Christ, he is my savior and king, in him only I have hope for my salvation for he is mighty to save. He can even save me, and that my FRiend takes might.
