It is all in God’s purview. But I can tell you this, Jesus went to the cross and died, then rose again, not to make bad people good but to make people dead in spirit alive forever more. He promises to make one alive the instant one asks Him to be their deliverer and ‘faiths’ in His transforming Spirit. Mormons believe Salvation comes after all that the individual does to be obedient. That is not what God teaches through the New Testament. Ultimately, He will be the arbiter of souls, not Joe Smith, Mormonism, Catholicism, or any other man or doctrine of men, Just Jesus. I have a couple of essays on my profile page that you might find helpful.
Your very first sentence, “It is all in God’s purview.”, is exactly my very point, which actually seems to have been overlooked by many here...
I will take some time, when I have it, to read your essays..perhaps they will be of some help, thanks for the info...
