Latter-day Saints don’t believe that the organization of the church saves them. Christ alone can do that.

HOGWASH. In order to be saved (return to God the Father) you must...

be an active, faitful, tithe paying, temple endowed Mormon.

Everyone else goes to a ‘lower kingdom’.

I’m talking spiritual salvation, not physical which is what the LDS mean when they say ‘saved by Grace’.

Want me to post sources for this? You know I can - I have done it before.

There is no priesthood authority and Christ did not set up a denomination. LDS in NO WAY resembles the church of the NT, they just play at religion and give people a false sense of securityl.

Don’t lie for the Lord, Norm.

(1) Mormons badly distort what the word "saved" means -- perhaps as much as any cult. Why? Because what is an eternal "saving" relationship minus living with Heavenly Father forever?

Yet Mormons try to pull one over on people that this constitutes "salvation" (Reaganaut's reference to a "lower kingdom")

(2) Lds apostles (like McConkie)...
...& LDS "prophets" (like Joseph Fielding Smith)...
...& LDS first presidents (like Marion G. Romney)...
...agree, in contrast to what Normandy just claimed, that there's no salvation outside the Mormon church or Mormon "prophet":

Bruce McConkie: "If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation. There is no salvation outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Mormon Doctrine, p.670).

Joseph Fielding Smith: [There is] "no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth...no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.190).

Marion G. Romney: "This Church is the ensign on the mountain spoken of by the Old Testament prophets. It is the way, the truth, and the life" (Conference Report, April, 1961, p. 119)
