Krystian said that in another thread ... wanted to toss this "out there" ...
I've always, always,
always held that Mormons are not, cannot, simply
AIN'T, saved. Their doctrine is pretty hideous and I don't know that we need to debate it past a certain point.
Except that recently, through my oils business, I've gotten to know some Mormons on more than a casual level ... and in so doing, see their faith. Listen to them pray. Listen to them intercede when tragedy strikes (a teenage boy was severely burned in a fireworks explosion and fortunately lived and is thriving now). Listen to them worship Jesus. Even, on occasion like today, listen to them prophesy (a whole 'nother subject, there).
I have to say I was surprised ...
If the "standard" is Jesus (and I believe we all say that He's the standard), how much understanding of Him does one have to have in order to be saved? At one point does error "keep you out" ... and if error can keep you out, who's going to heaven, the baptists, the pentecostals, the catholics, or the lutherans? If you don't believe in free will (or, if you do) ... If you're an Arminian or a Calvinist (remember all those ugly debates ... in which you'd think we were discussing a different Jesus altogether)... or if you believe in future judgment, or if you believe judgment was settled on the cross? If you hold a sign that says "I'm a Christian, God hates fags" or you love fags, or you are a fag?
And, given all of that .. are Mormons all that different outside that mix?
