In addition to what I just said in the last post, here's additional considerations:
(3) It negates Hebrews 9:27 "For it is appointed for man to die once, and then the judgement" -- thereby, creating a false sense of security for earthly man: "Oh, I can repent AFTER I die"
(4) Mormons are able to convince prospects that theirs is a "kindler, gentler Christianity" by not condemning anybody to hell and offering all -- including those before Christ -- a "fair chance" to receive their version of the gospel after death.
What they don't tell their prospects is that the vast majority of Dark Ages & before will never have their records found. (So how can the Lds church turn around and say this is MANDATED for EVERY spirit before they can be judged? Joseph Smith taught that "ALL those who have not had an opportunity of hearing the Gospel, and being administered unto by an inspired man in the flesh, MUST have it hereafter, BEFORE they can be finally judged. --Lds Presidents book on Smith, p. 471)
(5) Lds assume not only can they arrange eternal relationships with God and Jesus Christ post-death, but they can do marital match-making for the deceased. (Someone start the Halloween Morg music): "In the temple, we can perform ALL the ordinances necessary for the exaltation of those who have died. This includes temple marriage." (Official Lds teaching pub -- Gospel Principles, p. 248)
Talk about the occultic Macabre -- more direct involvement in the affairs of the dead.

I don’t think they try to negate anything. Catholics teach that if they hadn’t baptized me when I was born and then I died before baptism that I would have been condemned to Hell. It makes no difference that it were through no fault of my own.
I don’t believe that, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem with Catholics believing it. It doesn’t effect me no matter what they do.
I have never talked to a Mormon who tried to trick me into joining their church because I could be bad and still go to heaven. They teach just the opposite.
They do teach that it will take a long time to do their research, they say that the reason for the Millennium is so that they can do this research.
I kind of like their idea that everybody will get a fair shot at accepting The Lord Jesus Christ. They actually teach that if everybody doesn’t get this chance then nobody will be able to have the benefit of it.
