Salvation is by faith, not a bunch of works like the LDS church teaches.

BTW did Ted Bundy have his sins remitted by being baptized in the LDS church?
---What sins? How should I know? Only the Godhead and the person in question knows, much of the time, whether a person has sincerely repented of a sin, and whether a person's baptism was efficacious. That's why only the Godhead gets to decide who goes where in the afterlife. At least that is what I think is taught in the Bible. I think it would be very arrogant and presumptuous and tacky for someone to go around asking other people "Have Billy Ray's sins been remitted?" As if any of us would actually know the answer. Tell ya what: You feel free to ask God or Ted in the afterlife about the status of Ted's sins, if you run into either God or Ted.

BTW, if you were really an RM, I would have thought you'd already know, and not need to be taught by me, the LDS doctrine that baptism is efficacious in remitting a person's sins if that person has faith in Jesus, has sincerely repented of those sins, and the person is baptized by an authorized person.
