In a way we need to leave the Book of Mormon out of the conversation, not that I believe it is the Word of God. When asked about those preaching in His name, although they were not given the authority to do so... Plus Glenn just said he believed Jesus was the Savior of the World. There most definitely is some stuff in Mormonism that is just plain weird to my conservative, evangelical Christian mind, but Glenn is NOT AGAINST GOD OR JESUS.
The following are quotes:
Matthew 12:30 NIV
(30) “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
Mark 9:40 NIV
(40) for whoever is not against us is for us.
The man who was “not against Christ” in Mark 9:38-39, was for Him. He operated in Jesus name, and did work for Jesus. Thus,when you’re not against Christ, you are for Him, and that means you are doing His work, and are publicly claiming to operate by the authority of His name. Someone who admits he is not a believer in or follower of Christ, and who is not doing His work in His name, is not “neutral”. That person is against Christ.
Both verses prove you are either for or against Christ. Those who are not with Him are against Him. Those who are not against Him are for Him, and are making that known by doing His work and claiming the authority of His name. In either case, you are either for or against Christ. There is no “neutral”.
(the above explanation is not mine, but I thought is was a good one)
Do you have something personal against Mormons? Would some still whine if Beck were a Catholic? “Oh no! The Pope tells him what to do!!!”
I’m Baptist and I’m an American and also a huge fan of Glenn Beck. I have no problems with him being a Mormon, it’s his choice, we have freedom of religion, he doesn’t use his radio and tv shows to slam it down peoples throats.
Let it go.
Quite possibly my favorite verses in all the scriptures, Revelation 3:15-16
15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Read Romans 14 and 15 for insight.
