LDS According to LDS only they are in the Kingdom of God

[Rescued One]

According to LDS only they belong to the kingdom of God.

"The kingdom of God on earth is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (D&C 65). The purpose of the Church is to prepare its members to live forever in the celestial kingdom or kingdom of heaven. However, the scriptures sometimes call the Church the kingdom of heaven, meaning that the Church is the kingdom of heaven on earth."
Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven

When they gain converts and baptize them, those converts have joined the kingdom of God.

Kingdom of God on the earth.

Are you saying that non-Mormons are in the kingdom of God not on earth? The last time I checked, I was right here on earth.

Pardon my bluntness: but from the LDS perspective you belong to an apostate church.

If you think about it, why would you be a member of a church that did not proclaim that it is the true Church of Jesus Christ?

I would not be a member of the Mormon church if it said that we, as well as all our Christian churches are the true churches of the Lord Jesus Christ.

You profess to be a Protestant, and that is good, but does your church proclaim that it is the only true Church of Jesus Christ?

If not you may want to think about it some more.

John 14
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Isaiah 43
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

One of your leaders said:
This Church is the ensign on the mountain spoken of by the Old Testament prophets. It is the way, the truth, and the life.
Marion Romney (LDS First Presidency), Conference Report, April, 1961, p. 119

Another Mormon leader said:
Therefore it was made clearly manifest that salvation is in the Church, and of the Church, and is obtained only through the Church.
Mark E. Petersen, Salvation Comes through the Church, Ensign, July 1973

And:
If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation. There is no salvation outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, p. 670

I believe Jesus.

is there not a Mormon/LDS section here? I've looked a few times but don't see one

Mormons believe there are many gods. They aren't a true Christian religion.

There used to be. The admins have since decided that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are not Christian, deleted the section, restricted our ability to post, and banished us here where we are not even allow to create threads.

That is pretty harsh. While it is within their rights to behave like that but specially for religious boards such behavior should have a strong reaction of the community.

What happened prior to it, did you (as a group) give any reason to react in that way?

We acted like Christians (because that's what we are). Our crime was not being crazy ignorant Biblically illiterate people and having other Christians see that.

Mormonism teaches that ALL churches are apostate except theirs and that in order to earn eternal life, one must agree with and obey their man-made rules.

False. The correct statement is LDS believe a denizen of the Kingdom of God should yield to God's commandments, including repentance when it is necessary.

I have been longer than most here. I have seen administrators come and go. We use to have an section for LDS. When the owner change hands it became more hostile towards the LDS in that we were placed in a general forum for non christians. Then a while back maybe two years or so they decided to create a section where "christians" could ask
Questions and LDS could not start a thread where we could only answer. We did nothing but be Mormon.

Christians love other people as much (hopefully more) as Mormons do.

I don't think anyone claimed Christians (LDS or otherwise) didn't love other people.

The Bible teaches that a select number of people will go to heaven to rule as kings and priests with Christ.(Revelation 7,14) They will be the rulers of the kingdom that Christ told his followers to pray for.(Matthew 6:9,10)
While on earth these ones based on accurate knowledge have been separate from the world being sole advocates of God's kingdom and thus having no part in worldly politics, which are soon to pass away.(John 17:3;Daniel 2:44;2Peter 3:13,14)

Jesus is the head of His church. He knows His sheep and His sheep know Him.
