Not one thing on your list is beyond the reach of a demon to profess. What you failed to list was that Salvation is ONLY by the unmerited favor of God to deliver the human spirit from Sin and transform the individual soul from sin and death. Faith ing daily in His deliverance of you means you don’t get any merit badges for ‘all that you can do’ however, which might just make the eye of that needle hard to squeeze through for you Mormon zealots.

??? Geez, you really don’t understand salvation by Grace, or the LDS concept of salvation, if you think effort and obedience has no place in it. One cannot be a “follower” of Christ, if one doesn’t even attempt to “follow” him by obedience.

You really have got to be kidding?! A demon can profess Christ is his Savior and God? Wow! If the Mormon’s profession that Christ is the Son of God, God incarnate, and his Savior does not make him a Christian, then logically, it does not make ANYONE a Christian either.

So, you expect complete expositions on every subject? Do you do the same when you pontificate?

FYI, Mormonism does NOT believe we are saved by our good works. Our theology teaches one can NEVER go to the sanctified state by our own good works without Christ’s atoning infinite sacrifice.

We do admit we can take ourselves out of his hands by willfully rejecting him. One cannot be his “follower” if one doesn’t even attempt to “follow” him and obey him.

Your advocation of “cheap grace” is a DISGRACE.
