Stupid conclusion. Salvation is an individual decision, not a corporate one.
The LDS church is not Christian because it is not Trinitarian. Of course, they say the same of us so the circle is not unbroken.
I agree.
Thank you for your post. :)
I readily admit that it is not for me to say if any LDS member is or isn't Christian. In a similar way, even though I accept the list of churches that ascribe to trinitarian doctrine as being orthodox, I cannot say if any member of those churches is or isn't Christian.
I am convinced that a Christian is one who has been accepted by the person of Jesus Christ and who has been, is, and will be saved. My understanding of who is a Christian is more in line with the biblical example of a saint.
I cannot know the eternal status of anyone else's soul. Sometimes even, the condition of my own soul is obscured from my own view, mostly because I've kept myself away from the mirror of my own heart. I have even lied to myself.
Like many others who profess Christianity I find reasonable assurance of salvation in the Bible, together with the fellowship of saints.
