There is a huge anti Mormonism industry - books, tapes, DVD’s, speaking engagements, seminars, workshops, and on and on it goes. If you are wondering why all the fuss against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, just follow the money trail. Plain and simple.

Condemning people to hell is not the job of mere puny humans. We are not qualified. I put my faith and trust in my Savior Jesus Christ, my Advocate with the Father. Amen.

No, it is clearly defined by the bible for those who reject the true Jesus SD.

Truth in advertizing time - your salvation is not only on Jesus according to mormon doctrines and teachings SD. For starters SD from your articles of faith -

3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

Did you forget that little twist? How is all mankind to be saved? . . by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. Wow, even mormon jesus is put on the outside isn't he.

And what do we get from the mormon 'atonement' SD? Everybody will be given a resurrected body - wow hardly earthshaking SD. At best it is a 'refinancing' of your sin.

“The demands of justice for broken law can be satisfied through mercy, earned by your continual repentance and obedience to the laws of God. Such repentance and obedience are absolutely essential for the Atonement to work its complete miracle in your life” (Mormon Apostle Richard G. Scott, “The Atonement Can Secure Your Peace and Happiness,” Ensign (Conference Edition), November 2006, p.42).

“It is the celestial glory which we seek. It is in the presence of God we desire to dwell. It is a forever family in which we want membership. Such blessings must be earned” (Thomas Monson, “An Invitation to Exaltation,” Ensign (Conference Edition), May 1988, p.56).

Lurkers, the above make it clear that according to lds theology, your salvation is 'earned', and that the sacrifice of Jesus really doesn't do that much for you - except refinance your sins which you must still "pay off" through works. Another lds writed put it this way -

“The benefits of the atonement for personal salvation arise out of our obedience to the laws and commandments of the gospel. The forgiveness of sins comes to us by this obedience to the ordinances of the gospel and by enduring to the end, walking in obedience to the commandments. (Roy W. Doxey, The Doctrine and Covenants Speaks 1:104).

The forgiveness of sins do not come from Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, but by performing works of the new mormon 'law' and ordiances.

Keep these things in mind when mormons recite their testimonies - their words do not mean the same thing as our words would.
