This is all well and good but you fail to mention repentance and the sin question which must be addressed by each individual. You can gather a group easily to reach out to God....we are created with a void which only he can fill so turning to God can be preached by any faith...regardless what religion it is..... But if one does not come face to face with their sin and that He died for that....then just believing will not meet God's requirement.

Hopefully Becks “message” of returning to God was indeed taken with the idea of Christian roots.....but those who know Mormonism recognize that Mormonism does not have it's roots in the Christian Christ....rather an impostor.

"This is all well and good but you fail to mention repentance"

I believe that a "sincere" belief in Christ necessitates repentence. This is what Paul means he says you must accept him in your "heart". But your point is still well taken, repentence should be mentioned specifically when explaining the Gospel. Jesus' first sermon after being baptized was "repent and believe in the gospel."
