A disciple of Christ, as stated in Acts. We are all imperfect, and some folks have wild ideas and regularly sin. And some whom claim Him really have thier hearts far from Him.

<< hippo, I just dropped in seeing this comment and have not been following the thread>> I'd encourage you to think & research for yourself, rather than referring to the internet and "anti-cult" materials. For example: "Mormons" like Athanaisian Christians believe that the Father, Son, and...

God also told you that you’re going to be a joint-heir with Christ . And that’s very different than literally becoming Christ. Please don’t mix those up.

JOINT heir. WITH Christ. Not replacing Him or taking His spot. And for sure not literally becoming Him. See Romans 8:17.

HUGE difference between 1) literally becoming Christ (Edward’s belief, if I’m Understanding correctly) Vs 2) Christ, the one Son of God, changing His disiciples (us filthy sinners) to become a joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17) like Him. That’s the LDS Christian view. I’ll never literally...

Actual believing and educated “Mormon” here— My beliefs and @Edward Gordon ’s beliefs are two VERY different things. Please don’t intermingle them. There is a HUGE difference between saying a person BECOMES Christ (Edward’s view as I’m Understanding it) and my beliefs about us flawed humans...

I disagree with you there.

"Mormons" believe that baptism is done for the remission of sins, in the name of the the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

FYI: "Mormons" do 100% believe that the dead will literally be raised from the grave, through the power of Christ, the Son of God's, atonement. I'm the only "Mormon" on this site. @Eternally Grateful grateful is non-denominational.

Have a nice day.

@michaelvpardo , if you believe that you are perfect and above reproach or any room for improvement, then that invalidates any conversation with you.

*sigh*

Do you realize that "anti-cult" rhetoric has hurt many people (on both side) for many years? Do you acknowledge those scars? Or do you just dismiss it?

I see a big disconnect in your statement. But heh, you’re going to do what you’re going to do.

I hear you say that. However, I also hear you use anti-cult rhetoric. That rhetoric is usually in my experience is the opposite of encouraging learning or growing closer to Christ. Just stating my observations. And yes, I am born-again.

@michaelvpardo , I love Jesus Christ. He is the center of my world. I first read the Bible on my own, of my own self direction, cover to cover at age 9. I regularly read, pondering & praying daily. I am born in Him-- faith in Him is my foundation that pulled me out of the depth of...

Like I said: PASSIONATELY disagree with your approach here, and you’re just going to defend it. Have a nice day.

Christ saves wretched sinners. Such is not a license to sin or be egotistical. Rather we are called to be humble and love each other. I urge that. I realize that’s a very different wave length than your “anti-cult” approach- one I passionately disagree with. I also acknowledge that you’re 99%...

You and I see things VERY differently here.

Notice how I'm specifically standing up against such egotism. Christ is the judge. You, I, and everyone else are filthy disgusting sinners. And we are called to be humble & love one another.
