“Mormon doctrine is wrong, Mormon written scripture is uninspired, and Mormon sacramental practices are over the top.”
So decrees Xzins! Who dares disagree! Well, me for one.
“To the extent that anyone truly & biblically believes in the Jesus of the Bible through the words of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul, James, that person is a saved Christian in my opinion.”
That would include every faithful Mormon.
That would include anyone who truly and biblically believes the record of the original Apostles. Theirs is the word of God consistent with Jesus’ prayer, “All who believe in me throught THEIR word...”
There is nothing in that text about anyone else’s words some 1800+ years later in New York State.
Therefore, xzins does say that Mormon doctrine is wrong, Mormon written scripture is uninspired, and Mormon sacramental practices are over the top. I say it on the authority of the scripture given by the men Jesus specifically selected to give His word.
Now, anyone...Mormon raised, Baptist raised, Catholic raised, Buddhist raised, etc.....who, in reading the record about Jesus by Jesus’ personally selected Apostles, comes to true, biblical faith in Jesus is a saved person. He is then in the hands of the Almighty.
The Almighty will lead His sheep to green pastures.
