Of course, that hasn’t stopped any number of Freepers from posting that Romney is not a Christian.

In neither case can man know the hearts of God and man on the issue. We can speak to what we believe is God’s word on the subject, and evangelize based on our understanding, but in the end it is not our place to mark who is saved and who is not.

So far as I can tell, Fred does not LIVE life like a committed Christian. He shows little interest in his faith as it applies to life, or to the fellowship of his fellow believers. Or at least he wishes to keep quiet about it. And the admonition in the Bible about entering your closet is not applicable to the idea of sharing your faith, which is a public acknowledgment and outreach to nonbelievers and believers alike.

Many of us who wanted to support Fred, and who defended his church affiliation back when others tried to falsely malign him, were taken aback by both his cavalier attitude toward basic values of the Christian faith (like fellowship), and moreso taken back by the ready acceptance of that non-biblical action by many Freepers.

Yes, in the end Fred doesn’t have to be a practicing Christian, or even a Christian at all, to be President. But we were sure hoping he would be.

Frankly, this Mormon crap where you claim people have said Mitt is not a Christian when what they consistently assert is that Mormonism is not Christianity is getting too transparent. You ought to be ashamed but of course that is incomprehensible to you. Mitt will not shame people into voting for him nor will he prevent Conservative Christians from rejecting him because of the cultish beliefs which he serves as a high priest (Melchezidek Priesthood, if memory serves to become a Bishop as he has).

Why?

You got something against Article VI?
