There are reasons Mormons don’t have vocal expressions like Tebow regarding their relationship with Christ. They don’t really have one (been there done that), they may THINK they do, but their faith is in the LDS church first.

Mormons use distant terms to describe Jesus such as ‘our elder brother’ or ‘the savior’, while Born Again Christians (like Tebow) use the name Jesus or “my Savior”.

Comparing Tebow’s faith to Harper’s is comparing apples to grenades.

Mark Bavaro was kneeling and crossing himself back before it seemed unusual. He’s a big Pro-Lifer and a good guy. his father was my Homeroom teacher in Jr. High school. He was 92 feet tall. No Talking.

This is the Mormon approach. The young missionaries are not like Jehovah’s witnesses, throwing their differences in your face. They just come in to “get aquainted” They talk a lot about Jesus. What they don’t talk much about is their theology, because it radically differs from that of Evangelical or Catholic theology. Most fundmentally, it rejects the Holy Trinity. Therefore “their” Jesus is not the same person as “Our” Jesus. No more than the Muslim “Jesus.” is the same person.
