Maybe the Holy Spirit will speak to the Mormons thru our Baptist Hymns, and they will accept the truth.

You are not too far off there. Mormons often change the words or verses to fit their theology but every once in awhile you can get through to them with music.

When I was LDS, I had a tape of Amy Grant’s greatest hits (I KNOW, I KNOW) and a few other Christian artists. I got some flack from my LDS friends for having a ‘gracer’ CD, but I liked contemporary Christian music better than LDS stuff (which was HORRIFIC at the time). I also listened to the Christian station (which was better than the LDS station next on the dial). There were songs like “I have decided” that I really liked, even though I knew I didn’t understand it because it didn’t match my theology. But listening to those songs did play a small part in making me see something was wrong, oftimes because some of the artists would put bible references in their liner notes and curious me would look them up.
