Of course there are!
It would not STAND without them!
(It's just that you have to get INSIDE the Organization® before you find out WHICH of the Christian teachings they do NOT believe in.)
Well; not really - you can see right in their AoF that WORKS are REQUIRED for Salvation.
Last I checked, mainstream Christianity believed:
Christ’s grace is what saves people and to qualify for grace you must:
- Confess belief in Jesus Christ(they like you to sign your name)
Do Mormon’s claim something different. Well yes, but “Confess belief in Jesus Christ” is still a requirement for Grace. A work in the strictest sense.
Mormon’s believe the following:
Christ’s grace is what saves people and to qualify for grace you must:
- Confess belief in Jesus Christ
- Believe enough that you repent of your sins
- Be baptized of water
- Be baptized of Spirit(Gift of the Holy Ghost)
- Endure to the end(all sorts of stuff fit in the category)
BUT it is still Christ Grace that saves, but there are requirements for Grace to apply, just like mainstream Christianity.
Yep. Probably THE biggie.
Yep. Probably THE biggie.
In fact, the BIG difference between Christianity and literally ALL religions on the earth (Ignoring the obvious stuff) is that it clearly teaches that your “eternity” and success at reaching it is not based on your efforts, but someone elses - Jesus’. Grace is the foundation (beyond God himself) on which Christianity exists and flourishes. It literally frees you to do good, not to receive some reward, but becuase it pleases your Father and, as you get to know Him better, you simply want to! No other religion includes FULL grace. Either it all depends on you, or it is a little from you and a little from your god.
