I believe God knows the hearts of all, be they Mormon or Catholic or Protestant.
As for condemning other churches, etc., Jesus said something about those not with us being against us. I think only God and His angels are qualified to separate the wheat from the tares, no?
I believe if someone is sincerely seeking, God is able to bring them to Himself and does. I have no idea how God feels about the Christ that Mormons teach about, but I remember the widow who put her last two mites into the Temple that crucified Christ, and Jesus applauded her.
God knows the heart, whether we’re being deceived or misled, God knows our hearts.
So tell me what is it about the Jesus Christ of the Mormon church that would cost a Mormon their salvation? Do they believe He died and rose again and paid for our sins? Yes or no?
Because that’s the Jesus that I know and the Bible writes of. And if someone is confused about who His brother is (I think they think Satan is?) does that change what Christ did?
If leaders of any church mislead others, he will be dealt with. But the flock that puts their trust in Christ, puts their trust in Christ.
As far as I know the rest are just details.
(except for the universalist unitarian church, anyone who goes there HAS to be putting their hands over their eyes and know that they are)
He said it both ways. Take your pick.
Matthew 12:30 - “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."
Luke 9:49-50 - “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Jen -
Mormon Jesus is a created being, elder brother (literally) to humans as well as brother to satan. The mormon Jesus is not God the Son, He is but one of a plethora of ‘gods’ in the mormon pantheon of gods. The mormon Jesus cannot save one from their sins - mormons must become sinless before the grace of Jesus can be applied.
There are many more things many mormons believe about Jesus that are more disputed but the above are clear - the Jesus of mormonism is not the same as Christianity.

No angel would presume to do the work of God...
The angels worship the LORD Jesus Christ...
They dont surplant Him in His right to be Judge...
37 He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear. "
It appears to me that we are confusing the SENDING with the differentiating BETWEEN the W&T.
