...This is where terms need to be defined, lest Mormons come across sounding "Christian."

WHAT??? Are you telling me that even though the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, is, INDEED another testament of Jesus Christ; that the "Mormons" who are INDEED members of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, you still believe we are NOT CHRISTian???

Where does that come from, pray, tell? How can you say Mormons are not "Christian" if you haven't prayerfully studied the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

Stop concentrating on "Mormon" and start looking at the messages that Jesus Christ has to give you.

(Is that why an angel, Moroni, stands atop Lds facilities? 'Cause Lds are "concentrating" on Christ? Where's the cross of Christ in any Lds facility? Why is not the ultimate act of "proxy" substitution -- Jesus dying on the cross for our sins -- not symbolized in any place where Lds do "proxy" baptisms???)

Gordon B. Hinckley, lds "prophet," told Larry King 11 years ago that there wasn't any such thing as a "fundamentalist Mormon"...(so Hinckley had a right to define Mormonism, but Christians don't have a right to define Christianity? Anything under the sun is made to be under the Son?)

I've heard it said recently...


Are you telling me that even though the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, is believed by the "FUNDAMENTALIST Mormons" who are INDEED members of the FUNDAMENTALIST Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, STILL are not ALLOWED to be called MORMON by the snooty folks from SLC who claim the RIGHT and AUTHORITY to say who is and who AIN'T a MORMON!

(At LEAST the Flds folks happen to actually FOLLOW Mormon 'scripture' found in D&C 132!)

I can say that certain Mormons are not "Christian" because they prayerfully IGNORED the WORDS written in the BIBLE ans well as the Book of MORMON:
 
 
Smith, Young, Taylor, Pratt, Snow, Kimball, Woodruff ...

 
 
 

 1 Timothy 3:2-3
 2.  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
 3.  not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
 
 
1 Timothy 3:12
   A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.
 
 
 Titus 1:6
   An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.




 
BEHOLD!!!!  The Restorative Power  of the Book of Mormon!!
 



 
THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI
CHAPTER 2
 
  24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
  25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
  26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
  27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
  28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
  29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
  30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
  31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
  32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.

You really should begin to accept reality. Christian churches do not accept the baptism of professing Mormon, i.e., Mormonism is not Christianity. See the following for explanation. To become a Christian all you need to do is repent and be baptised in a Christian church.
