"... the same people used to go to the alter to get saved over and over." That is the problem with religious belief based upon emotion ... if you don't 'feel' it, you are encouraged to keep striking the Rock of your salvation (see the Hebrews in the desert and Moses striking the Rock for water). When you rust Christ, it His honesty that guarantees you are in Him, not some feeling that you can muster. When scriptures says 'He is faithful and just' that is precisely what you are to lay hold of His integrity not your emotions else you may be led astray with emotional manipulations.

I find it interesting, Saundra, that you eventually fled from religion based on emotional appeal, only to settle upon a religion that claims you ought to trust a feeling. You might keep this little suggestion in the back of your mind for future reference when you have doubts about Mormonism: trust in the Lord with all your heart and mind isn't based upon your integrity to keep your promises to God, it is based upon His integrity to keep His promise to you.

I feel like an idiot defending Romney, but leave him alone for being LDS. true conservatives won’t allow him to get the nomination, but uggh if it happens,I will hold my nose and vote for himm, and he will need to do a kennedyesc speech on religous tolerance so bigots stop persecuting people based on what religion they are. sheesh.

So how to you know when the Lord is talking to you?

What is it that convert you to your faith?

[Saundra Duffy]

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is not a feeling. I have faith in our Heavenly Father, in His Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.
