"I didn't like how they looked at the Bible differently," Darlington said. "They don't teach that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven."
Well to me IMHO the only way to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again is to believe and receive a witness from the Spirit of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
John 14
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. I pray that all who choose to leave that their hearts will find rest and peace in the Lord
Amen and Amen! I claim as my life verse:
“Being confident of this very thing, He that begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6)
“Well to me IMHO the only way to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again is to believe and receive a witness from the Spirit of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
It appears that JESUS said, “23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words”
If you don’t start with the WORDS, the Holy Spirit can’t teach you the way of salvation. If you deny the words, as
mormonism does, you open yourself to the witness of demons -
as young Joseph Smith did while hunting for buried treasure.
An evangelical christian that disagrees with the beliefs of others? I've never heard of such a thing! < /s > I guess Christy never read Mosiah 16:13:
And now, ought ye not to tremble and repent of your sins, and remember that only in and through Christ ye can be saved?
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

"Well to me IMHO the only way to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again is to believe and receive a witness from the Spirit of the Lord, Jesus Christ."Lets take this a little at a time
Well to me IMHO the only way to live with Heavenly Father...
Not My heavenly Father, not the heavenly Father, but Heavenly Father. I've noticed Mormons don't have a heavenly Father like the Christians do, but they have Heavenly Father who was a man that attained the status of a god.
...and Jesus Christ
This isn't the Jesus Christ of the Bible, because Jesus Christ of the Mormons is a created being, created at the time satan was created.
And also the brother of satan.
...believe and receive a witness from the Spirit of the Lord, Jesus Christ
Now that is a tricky one.
If by that you mean the LORD JESUS CHRIST who was in the beginning with God and is eternal, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, then that sounds true.
If you mean the Mormon Jesus Christ, a created being created the same time as satan, then it won't work.
Jesus said, "Many will come in My Name", be careful
