Who am I to judge their salvation?

Well, if you ain't a Christian, I guess you're off the hook.

TECHNICALLY, you are right: as we CANNOT judge someone's SALVATION; but we sure as HELL can judge what they proclaim to believe and what they teach!

Since you want to get TECHNICAL ... I am a Christian and I'm still off the hook, as you've pointed out that I am in no position to judge the salvation of another. I believe that is what I wrote that triggered your response. And, yes, God has given me the ability to judge the actions of others, which also gives me the power to reject certain beliefs without hating the person holding those beliefs.

How am I to set an example and try to lead others to living in the tradition of Christ by removing myself from contact with those who do not believe as I do? Like I wrote previously, the mormons I've known have, without exception, been good to me and productive members of society. Should I treat them as outcasts and how does that make me a person worthy of walking with The Lord and receiving the forgiveness that I so desperately need every single day?

Oh, and nice use of cursing in a post that I guess was supposed to be an argument for Christianity.
