I believe I will be bonded in heaven with Tennessee Nana and all other believers in Christ. Husbands and wives, children, friends, neighbors, ancestors and progeny will all be together with Christ and in Christ.
Mormons have nothing over me in their belief.
We will be one with Christ in His Kingdom- all believers in unity and we won’t be divided into special little family groups of people who performed a ceremony in a ‘special’ building where movies are played.
Tell me Edward - will your wives be with you? Or will they spend eternity with their parents - or will your children be with you? or with their spouses. How exactly does that eternal marriage work?
How exactly will you be bonded? When and where did the earthly sealing that is recognized in heaven occur? You cannot give what you do not have.
Only Protestants of the five branches of Christianity (and a minority of Protestants at that) believe in the priesthood of all believers or Christ miraculously gave his sealing power to others via a book that wouldn’t even exist in its present form until 350 years after his Ascension.
The fact remains if the Protestant belief that “a church doesn’t save; only an acceptance of Christ saves”; then we Mormons have nothing to worry about since if acceptance of Christ as our Savior and center of being saves the Evangelical or Protestant; it will also save the Mormon. After all, membership in a church doesn’t save, right?
OTOH, if Mormonism is true; the righteous Christian will go to heaven while the rightous Mormon will be exalted.
I’m not afraid of going to hell - I accept Christ as my Lord and Savior. I’ve accepted him as God and the only way of salvation. I’ve taken upon myself his name. I’ve vowed to be his true follower and strive to live my life as such. One cannot claim to be his follower if one doesn’t even attempt to follow him.
I believe I will be bonded in heaven with Tennessee Nana and all other believers in Christ. Husbands and wives, children, friends, neighbors, ancestors and progeny will all be together with Christ and in Christ.
