While social and political causes are a vital and important part of the Church’s responsibilities, we believe that our primary function as Christians, both collectively and individually, is to preach and defend the Lord Jesus and His Gospel, as He is defined in the Bible, and has been affirmed in the historic Christian Church, its Councils and Creeds. In our postmodern era, Christians are taught to believe that truth is relative and sincerity is more important than accuracy. However, we believe that the good news of the gospel – justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone – could be compromised if Mr. Romney receives unqualified public endorsements from Christian leaders, their ministries or organizations, thereby potentially confusing the evangelical Gospel with the soteriology (false gospel) of the Mormon Religion. It is our contention that the general population should not be left with any uncertainty whether the theological cult1 of which Mitt Romney is a faithful member, namely The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), and historic evangelical Christianity are one and the same faith. This we adamantly deny!
...it would be a serious theological error to equate Christianity with Mormonism simply based upon some common values. Since the Mormon religion was founded in the early part of the nineteenth-century, it has always been classified as a “theological cult” 1 by virtually every Bible-believing Christian denomination in the United States and the world. The reason they were given this “cult” label is based upon their theology. The doctrines espoused by this sect are not only unbiblical, but clearly anti-Christian.
I don't 100% agree with all wording chosen for this...I like what they have put together vs. the gospel compromise many Christian leaders have already engaged in by failing to distance themselves with qualfiers/caveats.
Do NOT complicate simple actions!
Ah yes, the real reason for not supporting Mitt. Religious bigotry and hating Mitt more than you love your country.
Never mind the people across the country who have lost jobs. Never mind the families who have moved in with their parents in order to survive. Never mind peoples life savings dwindling down to nothing. Never mind the damage the Marxist Obama is doing to the institutions of this great country of ours. You sir are a disgrace. You are the evil one.
Obama supports your efforts to get him re-elected.
These kooks/bigots make Mormons look good by comparison.
This is hilarious! It reads as an act of desperation.
If your new breed of evangelical christian is fragile enough to confuse Mormonism with your brand of religion, you have bigger problems than a Romney candidacy. We have freedom of religion in this nation, but your screed does not read like it.
I see a big forced play here. What are you afraid of ? ? Perhaps you cannot stomach the idea of your faith being questioned. I smell fear throughout this screed.
Are you going to resurrect Tomas de Torquemada for your new inquisition?
Under no circumstances will I ever stand before my Maker and explain that because he was the lesser of two evils, I supported a baby-killing cultist who directly or through his organization proclaimed that:
In my case, if asked to uphold one cultist or the other, I will always support neither no matter what the cost or penalty.
David Axelrod thanks you.
Dude—keep religion out of it. It just gives the other side more fodder. Just vote AGAINST 0bama and you got it made.
You have two viable choices. You might wish you had more, but the plain fact is that you do not.
You are not going to have a mainstream Christian in the Oval Office come January. You are not. You may wish there was an alternative, but there is not.
Wake up and shut up about Romney’s weird religion. We’re not electing a spiritual leader.
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. Thomas Jefferson
He didn’t say you had to be of the same religion or belief just be able to recognize a tyrant. If you can’t recognize a tyrant I doubt you can recognize a Christian or anything else. Just your own group...
Romney got the nomination through a valid, fair, democratic process. He’s not my first, second or third choice. As a matter of fact, he’s about my second to last choice. A long time ago I grew up. I accept that sometimes (often) I’ll be in the minority politically. I am now but I’ll be voting for Romney because it’s marginally better for my country if the leftist stooge that has the job now gets booted out of office.
Accept no substitutes!
As far as religions go: I never heard of a Mormon killing anyone in the name of the Mormon religion. I can’t conceive an honor killing in the Osmond family. Yet the president bends over backwards for Muslims.

A message from Our Lord given to Father Melvin ~
July 18, 2012
(Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words.)
“I call you all to be loyal to Me especially you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the world. When I was on earth I was loyal to My Heavenly Father every day of My life on earth. I came to do His will. You too should have the same reason wanting to follow My will every day.
There are some people these days that are teaching falsehood but saying that it comes from Me. Only My church can teach the true Gospel, which I brought into the world. There will only be the one Gospel and this is what you are to follow with all your heart. St. Paul in his earlier days was a persecutor of My Church. He wanted to destroy the Church I had founded on the Apostles. At the end I woke him up and he was converted. He came to believe in Me and he followed the true Gospel all the years after that until his death as a martyr in Rome. Do not listen to such people as those who belong to New Age or the CHURCH OF THE LATTER DAY SAINTS. THERE IS NO TRUTH IN WHAT THEY TEACH. Follow Me in My Church and you will be blessed. I am your Brother who is calling you and who is ready to help you in this life and bring you home to heaven one day.”
So then I take it you are voting for Obama?
I agree with you on one thing, Mormonism is a religion which do not base their belief 100 percent on the scriptures that come from our lord Jesus who is the founder of our faith.
Our U. S. Government also was not founded entirely on this faith but did base their logic on the fact that all men should be free and that all men were equal, Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
Do you know of any Church with out fault? if a man has two faults is he any worse that a man who just has one?
Is a thief and a liar any worse than just a liar?
Is a man who has ten willing wives as bad as a man who is just a sneak thief?
No i do not believe in the Mormon religion but i will vote for a man with ten wives much sooner than a man with a husband.
