"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. :)
Thanks, Forest Keeper. Yes, that's exactly what I was saying. Christ, not theology, is what's necessary. Anyone, no matter what race, creed, color, can come to Christ through receiving Him into their lives with a sincere heart. Thinking one has to be of a certain theological bent to be saved is a lie from the pit of hell. One of my dear elderly friends is a christian believer who once was mormon. It doesn't matter what they were or even what they were taught. CHRIST is supreme, not theology.
