First, define Christian, second, which beliefs would you consider non-Christian (supported with scripture).peaceful soul said:Obviously, they do not put their whole faith in that because they add other things to that belief that invalidates what you have said.

peaceful soul said:I assume that all other groups don't have the same problem, given the fact that there are such things as heretical doctrines?
peaceful soul said:Before we go any further with this. The basis of Mormonism comes from a supposed revelation after Christ; so, that alone nullifies anything that Mormonism stands for in respect to mainstream Christianity.

Well discuss this later (Ill take note that you believe that Mormonisms new revelation from Christ is non-Christian), but before we do youll have to clarify the definition of Christianity, and then point such beliefs that you believe are non-Christian, and then support them from scripture.peaceful soul said:The basis of Mormonism comes from a supposed revelation after Christ; so, that alone nullifies anything that Mormonism stands for in respect to mainstream Christianity.
DjDan said:So... no more revelation because Christ physically died? You mean he can't speak from Heaven anymore? and why's that...???? Oh and what, receiving revelation from Christ/God after he physically died is not Christian?
Isn't it a truth that Peter received revelation after the death of Christ? Does that mean that Peter (the apostle) is not Christian?
Orontes said:Hello,
A heretical stance is typically taken as a privation or perversion of orthodoxy. As such, it is a deviation. Deviations are still within the larger circle of the religious movement. For example: to Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism could be deemed heretical. From a Roman Catholic stance Calvinism could be deemed heretical. A Muslim would not be a heretic however. Thus, if Mormonism is heretical it would be, by the very label, Christian.
peaceful soul said:Heretical does not mean that the doctrine is sound and passes orthodoxy, right?
If it doesn't, it does not matter if it may be within the fold. It would still be a false doctrine.

peaceful soul said:I should have known better. I mean after the Bible itself. I hope that it would be obvious that I could not have meant what you said; for the Bible would not have been completed, right?? We would have no Paul, Timothy, John, ect....
Rae said:Yes. Mormons are Christians. Most Christians don't want them to be, but they are.
msindiausa said:How so? They do not follow christian doctrine, so how can they be called christian?
The "underwear thing"-they are supposed to be physical reminders of our covenants with our Heavenly Father. Baptism of the dead? We believe that every person must be baptized, and by one holding proper authority. Since it must be done here on this earth, as a physical ordinance, we stand in proxy for someone who has already passed on, and it is considered that they have been baptized-provided that they want to accept it of course. As for Hitler, don't know much about that. I don't know how much is rumor, and how much isn't. And, yes, I do believe that President Hinckley is a living prophet of the Lord, and able to recieve revelation for the entire Church, as is his calling. (Thank you for using he proper title and name. It means a lot.msindiausa said:@ the Mormons...Can you explain the underwear thing...Also, can you explain baptism of the dead, including hitler...Do you honestly believe President Hinkley is a living prophet?

Do you even know what a Christian is? Do you know when in the Bible, people were referred to as being Christian?
