"You have to be willing to offend here. You have to be willing to take the risk. That's exactly where the faith comes in. Our commitment is supposed to be a test. It's supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be impractical in the terms of this world."

As pertaining to Jesus Christ,
I testify that He is the Son of the Living God who was crucified for the sins of the world.
He is our Lord, our God, and our King.

"Sometimes we are accused of being uncaring as we teach The Father’s requirements for Exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom.
Wouldn't it be far more uncaring for us not to tell the truth, not to teach what God has revealed?"

If we want to insure the liberty of the people, then we must turn back again to Jesus Christ, who is the God of this land [The United States]... We cannot afford to forsake the God of this land, who is Jesus Christ. If we do, we lose our strength...

Ben,
Give up the foolish Sectarian notion of "Grace Alone" contrary to Romans 6:1-2 and allow the Savior to change you.
Jesus Christ is more powerful than to simply pay a debt without changing us in the process.
Today I had the chance to visit and walk around the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City.
The building is massive and very beautiful, but is currently undergoing renovations.
My colleagues and I also walked inside the nearby Tabernacle while an elderly tour guide was discussing the

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints follow all the teachings of Christ.
Not just the ones the Sectarians want to follow.
I'm disappointed to see

As a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
Having studied and attended all kinds of Denominations,
I can say with authority that The Holy Spirit and the power of God's Priesthood is found ONLY in the Restored Church of Jesus Christ.
God grant that all of us may walk in the light as God our Father is in the light so that, according to the promises, the blood of Jesus Christ his Son will cleanse us from all sin.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Despite the outcry from ignorant Sectarians, I am saved by grace.
Jesus Christ is my Savior, and He refines me each day to live a more Christ-like life.

I'd say it's because LDS teach a gospel of works. I know already it will be said, "we believe in Jesus and his atonement, too, we are no different". However, from a Christian perspective, LDS believe in conditional salvation based on a number of works, family ties, and reliance
The Book of Mormon shatters the false beliefs that happiness can be found in wickedness and that individual goodness is all that is required to return to the presence of God.

Too many of us have been pursuing worldly gains, rather than spiritual improvements-have not sought the things of God with that earnestness which becomes our profession.

“I have no enemies but for the truth’s sake. I have no desire but to do all men good. I feel to pray for all men. We don’t ask any people to throw away any good they have got; we only ask them to come and get more.”

President Nelson has stated:
“In coming days, we will see the greatest manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen. … He will bestow countless privileges, blessings, and miracles upon the faithful.”
"The Lord has clearly taught that only men and woman who are sealed as husband and wife in the temple, and who keep their covenants, will be together throughout the eternities."

Evangelist:
Mormons don't understand that the heart is deceitful above all things! Their religion is based on fuzzy feelings!
Me:
If you can't tell the difference between the Holy Spirit and your feelings, that says a lot more about your spirituality than it does mine.

Quoted by David Osbourne in “Recollections of the Prophet Joseph Smith,” Juvenile Instructor, Mar. 15, 1892, 173.
I am praying for the end of the world because I want a better world. I want the coming of Christ. I want the reign of peace. I want the time to come when every man can live in peace and in the spirit of faith, humility and prayer.
