First, I'm not passing judgement on the LDS' beliefs. I'm not a theologian. However, what I do know is that in looking on the Vatican's website, the Methodists', the Southern Baptists', the Presbyterians', and through printed material from the Episcopalians, all I see is that these denominations don't accept LDS baptism and belifes as Christian. If you have information to the contrary I'd be interested.

Well I really do not accept their authority over my church.

The fact is we are christian. The Catholics do not accept baptism from any other church. We do not accept baptism from any other church either. That does not make us un-christian.

I gurantee you that LDS act as christians and are more christ like that people of most other religions. That is what really counts is ones actions.

The LDS church provides more aid per member to non-members than any other major religion. We are generally first or close to first on the scene helping. Much of this help is done in corrdination with other religious groups. Catholics, Methodist and Southern Baptist included.

Obviously our believes differ. So do the Catholic believes. We both teach that man can not be with God in, the next life, unless they are baptized in our respective churches. The difference is we teach that nearly all will go to a far better place after this life. Heaven. Varying upon their belief in Christ and Christ like actions that prove this belief they will go to four different places. We also believe there will be time for repentance after this life and all who accept the Gospel there will also return to God. Thus we believe all men can return to their father. It is not even required. That you join our church during this lifetime (although eaiser if you do). It is required that you join in the next life to live with God The Father (Celestial Kingdom)

Our belief of life in the next world would be that all will go to heaven. All will be in a far better place and far closer to Jesus Christ. All that live good lifes will live in a place where Jesus Christ our God is often with them, the Terestial Kingdom. They will all have mansions. Even the bad people will have mansions. They will spend 1,000 years in fire and brimstone. They will then go to the Telestial Kingdom where the spirit of God to be with them. They may hear his voice but will not see him.

Only a very small number of the truly most evil men will actually be cast forever into hell with the devil, Outer Darkness. Cain being the most common example (although even he could repent in the next life.
