Thanks for your thoughts on this.

I guess there is more to Christianity than mere semantics.

Whether Mormons are included in everyone else's circle of Christianity is not as important as whether they are included in Christ's. And I'll leave that up to Him.

As I understand it, Jesus invites all to come unto Him: Buddhists, Christians, even Islamics. I cannot imagine Him turning anyone who sincerely seeks Him away.

Say, you're starting to sound AWFULLY "Mormonish"! Have the guys on bikes with ties (GOBWT) been by to see you lately?

Amen to that ... and that is the summation of the whole point.

Thank you for stating it so succinctly.

God bless.

Sounds good to me. As has been pointed out elsewhere, "Christianity" is a term invented by human beings to classify certain religions. It's not a term Christ used to determine who was saved or not. I've been discussing the first issue. I wouldn't presume to be an authority on the second; as for that, in the end, there's only One authority.
