I’ve heard Beck say that he became a Mormon just because of his wife - that that was her faith.

And yes, it’s troubling that Beck’s faith deviates a lot from the Bible, but as others have noted, he hasn’t incorporated any tenets of Mormonism, so far, into his speech.

I just pray that the many evangelicals with whom he’s surrounded himself will ultimately show him the truth of the gospel, and that he and his family will accept that truth.

See my post #18. The scripture says that where two or more are gathered together in the Lord’s name consider it done, and we know that God is not willing that any should perish.

Beck is unorthodox in how he expresses mormon salvation - that is true. But one must also recognize that the tenets of mormonism for general public consumption are found in standard Christian terms and phrases that to the mormon have been redefined from what Christians understand them to be. For example the use of the term "salvation" to a Christian it means only one thing - our forgiveness of sin by God's grace (unmerited favor) and eternal life with God. To the mormon it means two - a general resurrection of one of several levels of 'heaven' and later exultation to godhood for those worthy mormons.

So this slight of hand makes it difficult for the average Joe Christian to see the differences. Mormons use the same talk, but the real meaning is often very different.

BTW, the comment about the similar things happening in America as with Moses - refrence to the book of mormon fictious history of early America.

here is what Beck has said.. his wife would not marry him unless they had A CHURCH...together they visited various churches and finally an LDS friend invited THEM to a mormon church. They both loved it and so they joined it..
