Hi. I'm not trying to debate or argue with you, but I really wanted to clear up what I meant in that other post- the one in which you decided that I need to "get over myself".

I do not ignorantly believe that Mormons don't think I'm saved. I also mean no offense to you, or any other person in the Mormon faith when I say I feel that our doctrinal differences vary to greatly to be classified together. I don't believe your Jesus and my Jesus are the same. I could go farther into why, but I have no intention of trying to change your mind or anything, as I don't think you want to do for me. I merely wrote what I felt in response to someone saying that Mormons believe people of other faiths are saved.

What Do Mormons Believe About Other Christian Churches?

Mormons desire the fellowship and association of other Christian churches. Mormons believe in freedom of religion and allow all to worship as they please. All Christian churches are based on faith in Jesus Christ but Mormons believe that God grants authority to administer the gospel. This is the priesthood. Without that authority, the ordinances of salvation cannot be performed. Although other Christian churches have faith in Jesus and live His teachings, they have not received baptism by the proper authority to be able to receive salvation. Mormons believe the priesthood authority of God is found only in the Mormon Church.
