K, what do you think of this sweeping generalization by one of our Freepers:

So, the theology doesn't matter! I guess that makes Arians, Nestorians, Monophysites, Moromons and Jeohva's Witnesses, Bogomils and Ebionites all part of one happy "church' and family. They all, one way or another, call on Christ.

Doesn't the NT say that the devils believe and tremble as well? What does that make them?

indeed can anything be more clearly inspired by Satan than the notion that unbeleivers are pious beleivers, and that folks are beleivers regardless of what they beleive?

[Kosta to Kawaii:] K, what do you think of this sweeping generalization by one of our Freepers:

"Anyone in any sect can become a Christian if he or she puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ and Him alone"

So, the theology doesn't matter! I guess that makes Arians, Nestorians, Monophysites, Moromons and Jeohva's Witnesses, Bogomils and Ebionites all part of one happy "church' and family. They all, one way or another, call on Christ. Doesn't the NT say that the devils believe and tremble as well? What does that make them?

No fair tearing into a direct quote without pinging the poster. When I read the original quote it was clear to me she referred to the Christ revealed in the Holy scriptures. (She was talking about converting TO Christianity FROM the types of groups you listed.) I didn't think that your side and mine disagreed on the identity of that Christ. The LDS, Mormons, etc., DO. You and I have profound differences in theology, but on the identity of Christ we are very close, if not identical. That's why I would never lump you in with those other groups. Please do not do that with us. :)

Are you dense or what? I don't know what your church teaches about Christ but born again believers KNOW that Jesus is the ONLY way, not church theology, but a relationship with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. It doesn't matter if one is a mormon, a JW, RCC, EO or what. That person can be saved and have a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ if that person repents and turns his or her life over to Christ. They usually leave that church to find one that is a Bible believing church but not always. God has some stay to be a light to others caught up in 'theology.'Cheez.
