This is exactly what the LDS believe and teach. We do not believe that we are saved through our "self works".

Oh this is what I so love about the LDS. Even they can't agree on what they believe on a most important subject. We have on telling us of salvation by grace, no self works and another with the tried and true misinterpretation of James touting how much we need works...

And the LDS want us to agree they are Christians...

Don’t accuse us of not agreeing on the subject of salvation just because you’ve never taken the time to understand what LDS believe. There is no disagreement with what I posted and with the “misinterpretation” of James.

What's to misinterpret? I copy/pasted the verses directly from the Book of James.

If you have a problem with it - you need to take it up with James?

His words are plain and simple - tho' inconvenient for some, who choose, therefore, to skip over that little book - AND the fact that it was JAMES the Just, blood brother of Jesus, who inherited to leadership mantle after the Cruxifiction.

And that after James was killed in 62 AD, another blood relative led the believers = and then another until so many of the Diaspora was killed and/or had to go into hiding - so the leadership could be usurped.

I posture it is PAUL that the real followers of Jesus should be having the problem with - as did James, Peter and John.
