“I’m a Momon,”
There’s your first problem.
“My devotion is to the living Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior, the son of the living God the Father. And my goal is to merit and maintain the Holy Ghost in my heart in worship my Father in Heaven. If that’s not enough for you .... so be it, it is enough for my Savior Jesus Christ.”
Good enough for the Mormon Jesus, who is more concerned with his willy as all mormon gods are, but according to the actual Jesus Christ, salvation is purely by the grace of God, impossible to merit. It is God who chooses, and it is God who receives, and it is not of yourself.
Joh_15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Joh_6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh_6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Neither is anyone chosen because of any special “goodness” or anything else within themselves before their salvation, for God is no respecter of persons. There is no one righteous, no not one. It is the Holy Spirit which works in a man, so that He confesses Christ, and it is the Holy Spirit who sanctifies and urges a man towards good works and against sin.
Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Tit 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, (5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (6) Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; (7) That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
1Co_12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
You who are hoping to merit the Holy Spirit do not have the Holy Spirit, but have a spirit that agrees with every world religion which declares that man is the workman of his own salvation. But the elect can never be lost from the hand of God.
“Why would I want to attend another church service and worship a medieval definition of Christ who is ....”
Why would I want to attend a church founded by a false prophet and adulterer who had 30 wives, with 12 of them still married to other men? If I wanted to go to hell, there are many other ways to do it than just Joseph Smith’s religion. It’s cheaper than Scientology, I guess.
And ALL of us FR Christians are praying that it's not his LAST one!
