who the fuck do they think they are?

17. according to their theology

God does not accept "good people who do the right thing"

Romans 3: 23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

Even those who think they are "good people who do the right thing"

Salvation is a gift, not something that is earned by being good.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2: 8

However, it is not a gift for everyone, but only for those who believe and accept.

"whoever believes in Him (the only begotten Son) should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3: 16


As for evangelicals accepting mormons as another one of their own, that is hardly unique. They do not accept most Catholics, most Presbyterians, Methodists, Unitarians, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, etc. They would not think members of that church are Christians UNLESS, and only unless, they had been born again and had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Nor would they accept that denomination as preaching the TRUTH.

On the other side, neither do Mormons accept the members of any other denomination as true Christians. Hence, they baptize ancestors and deceased relatives into the Mormon church - because they do not accept the baptism of any Christian denomination. Whereas an Evangelical church, like the Free Methodists, WILL accept the baptism of other denominations (but not of Mormons I bet).
