—What name do you use, when you pray? Is it necessary to say, ‘Dear God of the Bible’, when praying? What happens when a Mormon says the “Our Father” or ‘Heavenly Father’?—

No, what I mean is that it is not what you say. It is what you mean. Words are mere symbols that represent a meaning. the meaning is what counts. I do not believe that all mormons are not Christian. Rather, I believe the god of mormonism is not God. WHO a person is praying to is more important than what he/she calls Him.

Words are our limited way of communicating to God, but only a part of our communication. IOW, this whole conversation is somewhat irrelevant, relatiely speaking.

So, if someone, regardless of their faith, prays to their creator for help, does the one and only God hear him?
