I have a friend that was brought up Mormon.

He says that at the age of 27 he accepted Jesus into his life as his savior.

He now Pastors one of the fastest growing “Charismatic” churches in the area.

I do not understand why, if Mormons are Christians like they say they are, he felt the need to accept Jesus at such a late age, having been brought up Mormon.

You should ask your friend. As a pastor, I’m sure he would be more than happy to tell you about his conversion to Christ and his testimony of Jesus Christ.

Many years ago I went to a dinner for young mormons. During the meeting they were encouraged to give testimony about why they became LDS. Reasons given were for companionship and social life. Not one said they joined because they felt lost and needed salvation. Not one.
