That is misnomer not one LDS believes they can earn their way to exaltation and glory!

What a child of God is asked to do is.

The Lord has said

Keep my commandments did He not?

John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

Proverbs 3:1
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Proverbs 7:1
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Psalms 89:31
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

Proverbs 4:4
He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

The Lord also Said

Feed my Sheep did he not?

17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my bsheep

I didn't name names, resty. It seems that you jumped to your own conclusions. But if the shoe fits. The Third Article of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints states; "We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel."

I condemn the actions of every single one of these sick people. They put a taint on Christianity. I’m glad I don’t belong to their churches. If I did, I would leave and publically renounce them.
