Mormon Faith

[TBC: There are a growing number of evangelicals who are increasingly willing to identify Mormons as true believers. Add to this the increasing popularity of Mormon Glenn Beck, who some insist has understood and believed the true biblical Gospel. Beck’s recent book with psychiatrist Keith Ablow testifies to his unbiblical faith. See our March issue for further information: (http://www.thebereancall.org/node/9050). It is instructive to look at what Mormonism itself testifies about “faith.”]

"Salvation in its true and full meaning is synonymous with exaltation or eternal life and consists in gaining an inheritance in the highest of the three heavens within the celestial kingdom… It is the salvation which the saints seek. It is of this which the Lord says, ‘There is no greater gift than the gift of salvation'. (Doctrine and Covenants [D&C] 6:13.) This full salvation is obtained in and through the continuation of the family unit in eternity, and those who obtain it are gods. (D&C 131:1-4; 132.) Full salvation is attained by virtue of knowledge, truth, righteousness, and all true principles. Many conditions must exist in order to make such a salvation available to men. Without the atonement, the gospel, the priesthood, and the sealing power, there would be no salvation. Without continuous revelation, the ministering of angels, the working of miracles, the prevalence of gifts of the spirit, there would be no salvation. If it had not been for Joseph Smith and restoration, there would be no salvation. There is no salvation outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” (Mormon Doctrine, pp. 669-671).
