I am a Mormon (by birth and culture). I was born into a sixth generation LDS family, baptized when I was eight, and Temple Married.
I am a Christian. I place my faith in Christ alone, and not in the earthly ordinances that were proclaimed over me by the Mormon priesthood.
I attend an Evangelical Free Community. I worship there as well as Baptist, Assembly of God, Catholic, and Presbyterian congregations. In fact I love worshipping God in Jesus Christ so much that often I will attend two, or three different Christian services on Saturday and Sunday.
There are not the divisions between sects as Mormonism tells you, Sourme. I suggest you visit with some Christians, and there are some wonderful ones here at FR, and you will become enlightened as to our unity in Christ and the ability to focus on Him and not on our own sinful failings over dots and tittles of style in worship.
Great post, colorcountry. It’s an honor to know you.
