The author says that Mormons believe we are saved by the grace of God alone without works. Which is false. We belive that trhough Christ's atoning for our sins do we find salvation, but with good works as well. To repent means not to repeat the behavior. If I repeat the sin, then I need to repent again, and work hard not ot repeat the sin. The key word being work.
Also if I do not serve my fellow man as Christ taught, then I will not gain salvation by faith alone.
That is where the author is wrong. The source is me. I have been a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints since I was eight years old.
You know, I really have no problem at all with people of other faiths or their beliefs. I believe that anything that brings one cloer to God is a good thing. I firmly belive that Mother Teresa will get to Heaven on better standing than I will simply becuase of her good works. I try very hard to have respect and understanding of other people's choices of who and how they choose to worship. I also try very hard to respect what they worship. The same goes with one's political and philosophical beliefs as well. I feel sorry for those that feel need to point out inaccuracies of other's beliefs. I am appalled that other members of my faith would engage in such practices. Discussions like these always remind me about anti-mormon protestors outside of the Temple and Conference Center in Salt Lake City. They use foul and hate filled language in the name of our Savior, and I know that depite what anyone believes, our Savior would not approve or condone such behavior.
Normally I avoid reading articles like this on this website because many who profess to be Christian have said some pretty rude, terrible and disrespectful things about my personal beliefs which I hold sacred. Perhaps this is why the monitors shut down these threads after a while.
I hate to get on a soap box, but I just had to get that off of my chest.
