While we are discussing beliefs, let me state that mormonism does NOT have a single solitary thing to do with "having the heavens opened unto anyone."

I also, do firmly NOT believe that "fighting against the (mormon) church is "fighting against God".

I also state that in the years that I was involved with mormonism, there was, in fact, a belief among the members that I knew that leaving the mormon church would make one a son of perdition.

Your mileage obviously varies.

I was taught that too, when I was LDS and several of former friends (LDS) think so as well from what they have told me.

To be fair, sometimes converts just go with what they see and don’t really study the faith. I was told I was an anomaly (by BIC’s) because I studied so much.
