CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yes, thoroughly. I also find many ways Baptist/Evangelicals, which claims to be sola scriptura, reaches beyond the Bible and/or contradicts it. Hence, I dismiss it as overall a false faith, though it has many truths within it and many people honestly devoted to following Christ.

As they are not from scripture nor from a prophet, LDS theology does not acknowledge them. Same response as >70% of Christianity.

I find your position here to be highly ironic: you declare >70% of Christians to be non-saved based on their because the reject a non-Biblical document. And what does that non-Biblical document say? That people should reject non-Biblical document! Highly ironic.

Here, I'll have you figure it out for yourself:
Please explain sola scriptura. Can any nonBiblical source be used as a ruler for Truth?

There is nature which can be a source of the truth as long as it is viewed correctly.
As far as the written word...No. Only the Bible is the Word of God.
Some confessions such as the Westminister Confession contain truth taken from the Word of God, but it in and of itself isn't the Word of God.

So the 5 solas: not the word of God.
And yet, you say anyone who rejects this not-the-word-of-God document is automatically not saved.

I reject those who llke you add to the words of the bible ..and think you add to your salvation.
It is Jesus who redeems us...and not us. It's not us who through baptism, or good works that saves us...but rather the gospel of Jesus Christ...ALONE..that we are saved. It is because of the correct gospel I am saved. If the >70 Percent think they are saved by what thy do..they are not saved. Jesus will say to them..depart from me I never knew you. ...this includes mormon theology which is works based.

You just added to the Bible yourself! The 5 solas are adding to the Bible!
Your argument here is self-contradictory!

Fact: The 5 solas were written by a fallible John Calvin in the 1500's. They do not originate in the Bible.
Now, you may say that "well John Calvin's words are the true interpretation of the Bible", and that's ok.
But how is that really different than a Catholic say "the Pope's words are the true interpretation of the Bible"?

Reformed Theology teaches that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ, to the glory of God alone. Furthermore, the Bible is our authoritative source for understanding this and all other aspects of our faith. These biblical truths are succinctly captured in the Five Solas. biblical references to the 5 can be found here.

The Pope also has references for his perspective, books of them actually. Again:
How is you saying "John Calvin's words are the true interpretation of the Bible", really any different than a Catholic say "the Pope's words are the true interpretation of the Bible"?
