[... the Mormons I know are about as decent, hard-working, and honest people as you can find...]

Does that make what they profess true?

No, nor did I suggest that it does. I merely find that since their faith is a peaceful one, and their values decent ones that dovetail nicely with the best American traditions, their particular theology is irrelevant to me. This is my personal opinion, and I won’t argue faith...it’s pointless to do so.

What we profess is true not because of what we believe or profess, or even what we do.

It is true because it is true despite us not living perfect lives. We do not profess to be perfect, only that we are attempting to follow Christ when He bids us follow.

Absolutely not. Being good doesn’t get you into
heaven. Being saved gets you into heaven.

No, Reality is, we just try to get our perspective as close to that as we can.

As for what we profess, Only God can tell you if what we are saying is true or not, pray about it...
