    Yes they do.Check out the answer for number 3. A Mormon admitting that the Mormons work for their salvation. Also admitting that Mormons believe in woman being eternally pregnant and being gods on their own planets! Does anyone else see that this is not what the bible teaches?????? Why do mormons deny they believe this? The bible does not say that we will be gods in heaven. There is only one God and when or if we go there we will worship HIM.To say that we will be gods is to agree with what the god of this world wants. Satan himself said:
    "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."
    (Isaiah 14:13-14) There is only one God and it's not us! God tells us not to be decieved and if you are Mormon you are decieved. I am not saying this to hurt you but to help you.My husband and his whole family finally saw the truth about mormonism and came out and got saved! If you are Mormon I challenge you to open your eyes and see that what you believe in is not the same God of the bible. Jesus said" by GRACE ye are saved, NOT of works..." You cannot be a good person to get to heaven. Only Jesus can get you there.It is not that complicated. All we have to do is this: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
    (Romans 10:13) Sorry if you do not agree but this is what the Lord says , Joseph Smith
    was not God nor did he hear from HIm and the book of Mormon was not inspired by God but by the devil.You will die in your sins if you do not turn from the lies and turn to the truth. JESUS
    to the Baylock brothers- answer this question- do you believe that you need to work for your salvation? or do you belive that Christ paid it in full?

    • As a lifelong Mormon, I know exactly what I have been taught, and what I believe.  You haven't a clue.

    • What did Jesus say in Matthew 7:21-27? What did he say in Luke 6:46? What did he say in Luke 11:28? Jesus clearly taught that yes, we do need to "work" for our salvation.

      It's futile to call Jesus "Lord, Lord", and not obey him.

    • Part 1: Good question..What did Jesus ACTUALLY say in those passages?What is the will of my Father that Jesus spoke of? Jesus said in John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. The will of God is just that, that we believe in Christ. John 3:16 supports that where Jesus said For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. It was not stated in either case that whosoever does all that the LDS church states we must do to enter God presence gets us there but that we MUST believe in Christ.

      Romans 10:9 states That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Who is it that is saved? Those who confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised Him up.

    • Part 2: Moroni 10:32-33 states that in order for God s grace to be sufficient for us we need to deny ourselves of all ungodliness. As ask you and anyone else on this board Have you denied yourself of all ungodliness because if not and if the BOM is true then God s graces is not sufficient for you.

      That is NOT what Jesus taught in those passages. Our salvation by His grace is not by what we do but by what He has done. He extends that grace to us as we enter into a relationship with God by accepting Jesus as our Lord. In so doing our relationship with Him changes. Who is it that Jesus casts out? Many people do righteous works thinking they contribute to their salvation. Jesus said Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matt 7:22-23)

    • Doesn't everyone know that Smith edited the bible because he said it was in error and full of sloppy translations. In modern religions appears God has a pipeline to whoever wants to start a new Religion. If God is one why would he start all these different Religions? Maybe he has a sense of humor. I found many starting the same way. I have my beliefs why do they need to push their beliefs on me? God help you if you say anything Religious people are said to be at peace with God? Why all the name calling.

    • actually Ive never heard of constant pregnancy and I know that women will not have their own planets but shall be the heavenly mother of the people of the planets of their husbands and tho they are goddesses they are not deities or beings of worship.

    • In anceint Christianity they believed they would become gods. "God became man, so man can be God" Truly the LDS is closerto being Christian than anything else.
