This stinks to High Heaven. Mitt Romney says Jesus Christ is his Savior and the Savior of all mankind. That’s good enough for Joel Osteen.

This is very dangerous - your hatred for Mormons is way out of balance. Don’t you see that? Joel Osteen is a fine young preacher. I have watched him many times. His books are uplifting.

I am absolutely shocked at the level of hatred toward Mormons on this site. You even hate anyone who has one good thing to say about Mormons. Get a grip.

Jesus Christ is my personal Savior and I love Him with all my heart. Heavenly Father sent His only begotten Son to die for me to save me from my sins. The Holy Ghost is my witness. I am a Mormon. Deal with it.

I don’t think every Christian who has questions about Mormons (or anyone else) hates Mormons....that’s silly.

Mormons are strange to us dear....plain and simple.

Your history of polygamy and your not so distant bloody wars within your church and your modern prophets and their unusual (to us) dreams cause some mainline Christians to wonder what you are all about.

I myself am unsure....I generally share the same cultural perspectives as Mormons and that’s good enough for me and I would vote for a Mormon...it may even come to Romney in the end....although he’s not a serious Mormon if it took him till 50 years of age to become pro-life when he decided to run for President.

I watch Zion films too and like them....

but.....would you be so gung ho for Mitt where he not a member of your sect?

be honest about it.

I don’t think Mormons should be immune to queries about their creed anymore than anyone else.....

I don’t know enough about ya’ll to say if I think you are apostate...

I think Osteen is a high living osteentatious life coach who blends his good works Christianity in.....and to be candid.....yep, he’s apostate to me.

Less on luxury and more on purely salvation would go long way with me......and forget good works as the key to heaven....baloney

Saundra,

Were’nt you saved before you became Mormon. All those years you spent as a Christian, didn’t you ever once ask Christ into your life and your heart?

I just would be surprised if you hadn’t. So indeed He would be your Savior.

I would heed Mormons to stop searching for something outside Him to save you. You can do nothing to add to what he has already done.

Through Mormonism one searches for their own glory by performing ordinances, oaths, works and taking covenants.

Have you been through the Temple yet?

 The Mormon creed reads thus...

 

 

 

The Articles of Faith
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

 

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
   
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
   
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Joseph Smith
