That is very sad. I wish there was something that we could do.

I think it is possible. It is a very interesting thought. The fact is however that little is said about the wiseman. We don't even know the exact number. We usually say three just because there were three different gifts given but this does not mean that there were three wise man. We all...

I think when we are talking about baptism and everything in life in general we need to look at the example that Jesus Christ set for us. He was baptised simple as that. He was not an infant when he was baptised either. He was baptised by immersion in the river Jordan, not by sprinkling. In...

Ok I think we have a very similar view. I was describing the Lordship Salvation view on salvation. If you would like you can look it up on wikipedia and it will describe it to you, and you can see that I did give an accurate description of that particular viewpoint. And I am fully aware that...

Again I am sorry if it was inaccurate again it would be impossible to discuss all the different views in one forum. I merely choose the evangelical perspective that I was most familiar with. In your view what happens if someone who loves god and serves him for many years falls away from the...

Yes I understand that. I am sorry if it was inaccurate of your beliefs. There are many differing views in Christianity so it would be impossible to discuss them all in one forum. So I chose the one I was most familiar with.

True this is also a difference. And a big one I will agree it is right up there with the trinity. Where this thread is not aimed to discuss whether Joseph Smith was a prophet or not. Yes it is an untraditional belief but I don't see how it in anyway makes lds church members unchristian. Its...

Sorry everyone I have been away so long. I went home to my parents house for Christmas and New Years. Most mormons don't believe this either. It is obvious from your posting that you rely on anti mormon sources for your information. Just a quick thought if you wanted to learn about the...

No I don't consider catholics protestant. I am not expert on their views of salvation I just have the impression they rely on things like the sacrament and confession. Not entirely sure though.

In this thread I will attempt to contrast the view of mormons in regards to grace and works with that of most protestants. I am hesitant to do this in the regard that I understand there are many varying points among the protestant denominations and so I appologize upfront if you feel my...

I really admire the Bahai religion. I have read a lot I jut feel I am ready to begin to read some of what you consider scripture. Just wanting some advice on which one I should begin with and where I can find them and so on.

That is really sad. Is there anything being done so they can take internet classes from American universities. Though I am sure the Iranian government has already thought of that and done something to stop it. Just a thought.

I guess I am a little late but better late than never. I think inter faith is a wonderful thing. It helps you see how your own personal belief system is not the only way to spiritual enrichment. It open you up your understanding and it breeds respect for other beliefs. I think inter faith is...

I appreciate your posting. I really appreciate your postive non contenious attitude. I would point out however that some of those things on your list mormons also believe. So there are some similarities, but yes there are differences. We believe in the bible. We believe it to be the word of...

Now this is something that has been a hot topic. Especially while Mitt Romney was actively campaigning for president. His religion was something that was successfully used against him. I find this a very disturbing reality about how "open minded" us Americans are. So I wish to discuss the...
