But you see HungarianGypsy, the Bible tells us we must have FAITH in Christ and not just a belief, because even the demons believe in Him.
Faith means you trust and rely that His atonement, His grace, His satisfaction of His justice has been accomplished and that you are saved through Christ by that faith.
I might have a belief that I can fly - but faith is what would make me jump off the cliff to prove it.
Mormonism teaches that Christ’s sacrifice enables you to perform ordinances and covenants that we save you. That is why they are called “saving covenants.” So what are they putting their faith in? Is it Christ and His atonement or is it their works and covenants. I posit that they put their faith in their own works, or why else would they go to the Temple, or pay their tithing or obey the Word of Wisdom if not to gain themselves glory.
:) Actually, I was about to write more on this thread, but got to the point of bowing out when I realized I am cranky. Seconds after my last post in defense, I had to stop writing my next post that was going to tell the LDS people to knock it off with the “holier than thou” attitude. See, I am an equal opportunity offender this morning. Too much negative energy in the air, I suppose.
