Hi Saxon.I am not cornered by scripture. What I find to be the biggest hindrance is your blatant lack of knowledge of the Bible. The Bible has never been the strong suit of Mormons as you waste time studying everything but the Bible. The most I have seen Mormons use the Bible is when thy try to discredit Christian doctrine with Mormon tales.
What do you find in God giving His salvational grace to them that repent and are water baptized as a "Mormon tale"?
Saxon--when you state "Christianity"--are you referring to the man-made doctrines of the faith alone--or the real Christianity of the Biblical NT?
What don't you consider in repentance and water baptism, as being belief in Christ?John 6:29 says that the work of God is that you believe on Jesus Christ. When you do this work of God you have obeyed him and the faith that you display in Christ is the faith through which the grace of God saves.
Obeying His commandments--as being faith in Christ?
Revelation 22:14----King James Version (KJV)
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
IOW--one is saved through dead faith?No works required; just faith.
James 2:26----King James Version (KJV)
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Preaching a salvation without any acts of obedience to Jesus Christ is a dog that just ain't gonna hunt.
Then salvational grace was granted to them that repented and were water baptized:Salvation is the remission of sins.
Acts 2:38---King James Version (KJV)
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
That defies the faith alone theology.
