Alanmolstad,
You didn't answer my question.
The other guy did, saying "all sins Mormons do". So, Christians can murder, commit rape, ****sexuality, incest, and still be "saved"?

what makes us better than lost people is what we are given...and has nothing to do with they way we ourselves are...
What we are given is the forgiveness of God.
The good Lord forgives us our sins.
What sins can a Christian commit?
Let's set the record straight. The Bible says, "he who continues sinning is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning... no one who is born of God continues sinning because God's seed remains in him; he cannot continue sinning because he is born of God." The whole idea of appealing to God for reconciliation ***umes a continual at***ude of repentance from wrongdoing. This is not to say a person will never stumble, since "we all stumble in many ways." However, in regard to the list of sins above and the sins on Paul's list of "those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God," if a person sins intentionally and purposefully, that person should do some serious soul-searching. In regard to "sins not unto death," i.e. mistakes, faux pas, rudeness, and other common practices which can and should be corrected but has little bearing on eternity, we have the command "forgive your brother from your heart." Let's face it, failing to love God 100% with heart, mind, soul, and strength, comes with it an eternal condemnation, unless one is under the grace of God through Christ. A true Christian has the Holy Spirit to charge a person to a clear conscience. If a person is not concerned with a clear conscience, or with measuring up to the standard of the gospel of Christ, that person has reason to doubt that they have entered into a salvation relationship with God. All the more reason to seek the truth yet to be found that will set a soul free from the bondage of sin, and that truth is only found in the true gospel of Christ as explained by the Holy Bible canon, and not by any other writing.
