Um, you might want to reread godramB’s #471. Whom is saved is in God’s purview. We may haggle over doctrines and such, but it is God Whom decides each one’s ultimate destiny based upon that which He has chosen to take out of our viewing range. We are ordered to oppose false doctrine and false teaching, but we ought not go too far in our assessments and assignations.

I don't disagree with that; and I had earlier stated, I do not sit in judgment on any one person's individual salvation. In fact, I don't believe you will find any post wherein I have even stated that, though I believe Joseph Smith to have been a false prophet, that I presume to know where he is spending eternity. Though concerning false prophets and false teachers, we have been told about their punishments.

We are ordered to oppose false doctrine and false teaching, but we ought not go too far in our assessments and assignations.

Agreed as to the former; as to the latter, as it concerns doctrine and teaching, the Scriptures are plain concerning particular things, and it is on those things there is no "wiggle room." As to other things which are not as clear, naturally, on those things we cannot be as rigid or unyielding.
