Somehow I am not surprised that you would think that of something The Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to do. Most of you don’t care what He commanded as long as your religion is based on “once saved always saved” and “we don’t have to do anything He said as long as we believe in him”, but you seem to forget that even the lowliest demon believes in Jesus Christ. So you think that mere belief will save you when it will not save the lowest demon?

That’s funny!

A) You never answered my question. Do you or do you not care what a person’s religion is?

B) I do not subscribe to “Once saved always saved” although I do believe it is very difficult to lose salvation. The only thing a person can do to lose salvation is deny Christ. Becoming LDS is equivalent to denying the Holy Ghost and thus denying Christ.

C) I do not have to do anything but believe in Christ to gain salvation. I obey HIS commandments because I am saved, to show others His light in my life, to reflect HIM, not to earn His favor. There is no EARNING salvation in ANY way shape or form. There is not “laundry list”. Obedience is a joy not the chore the LDS make it out to be.

D) You are correct that the demons also “tremble and believe”, but they do not believe unto Salvation. Christians believe in Christ to save them. Demons are beyond salvation as they are fallen angels. Once again, an LDS misses the point. Nice try, though.
