I am not one of those LDS. I am Mormon, well I was baptized in the church.... But Mormons believe that their religion is the true religion so there for they want to go around preaching to all other religions and try to save your souls. What led them to do this? Mormons believe that Jesus aka "the holy spirit" talks to them. We have a prophet that aparently talks to Jesus and tells us what to do. And Jesus told the prophet to go and save your guys's souls pretty much.

I think many LDS people use the term "only true Church" not really thinking about what they are saying. It is more accurate to say they beleive the LDS Church is the only one that contains all the doctrine and ordinances necessary for the Celestial Kingdom. Since they say it incorrectly, they actually start to beleieve the phrase in a false light. . Here's a little more insight as to why I am more inclusive of other religions. I am LDS but do not live a life worthy of the Celestial Kingdom. This is by choice as I have many vices. :) It is not that I am unable. . This means I will most likely have a Terrestrial glory, based upon the rest of my life. Any other good person, who believes in God and Jesus Christ, regardless of religion will have this glory as well. So it is not accurate to say the LDS church is the only true church. . Beleive it or not, even most LDS people will not be in the celstial kingdom. It takes a life of full devotion, sacrifice, and personal development; not just membership in a Church. . So all in all, if your religion helps you feel closer to God and you follow moral principles to the best of your ability, you will have the same glory as most LDS people. . I do believe that the Celestial Kingdom is a worthy goal of all people and that the LDS religion is the ony way to learn the principles and ordinances about it...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes it is the only sect with the authority to perform the ordinances necessary for the Celestial Kingdom. The LdS Church also believes it has MORE truth than any other sect in terms of Eternity and Salvation. At the same time, the LdS Church recognizes that other sects also have good teachings, good morals, and encourage their members to be good people. Did you hear the eulogy the LdS Church gave Mother Teresa?

Joseph Smith taught, "18 Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. 19 And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come. 20 There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated— 21 And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." Doctrine and Covenants 130. We will all be blessed according to our faithfulness. Joseph Smith also taught, "38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same." Doctrine and Covenants 1. The LDS Church, nor we as members of the LDS Church, need not apologize for the position we take in regards to other denominations. If God truly spoke the Joseph Smith, it is as if God Himself was speaking to us. When God talks to His prophets, He is not talking to the members of the Church that happens to be on the Earth at the time, He is talking to the entire World. The LDS Church believes that the other denominations of the World preach parts of the truth mingled with false doctrines created by men. They cannot offer a person complete exaltation as explained above my Mr. Laie Techie. If you are satisfied with remaining mediocre, the LDS Church does not encourage an individual to be mediocre. If you remain mediocre, you will receive a mediocre reward. You will be rewarded according to your works here in this life. There are no do-overs. After this life is over, you are done. What you have earned, you will get. At the Judgement bar, Joseph Smith, nor any other will be answering for what you did or did not do. You will answer for your own deeds. If Joseph Smith or any Latter-Day-Saint did not offer you an opportunity to learn what Joseph Smith learned through revelations from God and His Angels, then yes, we would be accountable. However, as long as you have the opportunity to receive the truth and reject it, the sin falls upon your own head.

So..... This goes totally against the old saying that "if mormonism is right there's no way anyone who isn't a mormon will be saved?"

No, I am not, and I’d actually be interested to learn who these people are. The way I see it, there’s really no room for a gray area here: either the Church is 100% true or it isn’t. Either way, it’s a logical impossibility for two (or more) contradictory churches to each be 100% true. Now of course, the Church of Jesus Christ has *always* taken “a softer, more inclusive stance toward other churches and faiths” than many other churches out there. Even the early, comparatively outspoken prophets taught that all mankind would be saved from death, and that virtually everyone would also attain some degree of exaltation. I realize, of course, that some people that subscribe to the aforementioned logical fallacy sometimes portray us as exclusionary, perhaps in an attempt to make themselves look and/or feel better. In the final analysis though, our doctrines are *much* more inclusive than those of most other Abrahamic religions. Please correct me if any of these be inaccurate, but here’s the teachings I’ve picked up from adherents to various Abrahamic religions: Judaism: those that do not accept God in mortality will go to Hell, but Hell is not a final destination; rather, it is a place of opportunity for virtually everyone to fully accept Him. Those that fully accept Him will receive all that God desires to give; all others (save those that deliberately reject God in favor of Satan) will also be saved, receiving as many of God’s blessings as they choose. Catholicism: anyone not christened Catholic will be damned to Purgatory or Hell forever. Islám: non-Muslims will be damned to Hell forever. Protestantism: anyone that doesn’t accept Christ (the exact meaning of which varies from creed to creed) is damned to Hell forever—unless you’re a “Mormon,” in which case even accepting Christ isn’t enough. Jehovah’s Witnesses: anyone that’s not a Jehovah’s Witness will cease to exist at death. 144,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses will go to Heaven while the rest will remain on the perfected Earth. Latter-day Saints: anyone not baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ will go to Hell, but Hell is not a final destination; rather, it is a place of opportunity for virtually everyone to fully accept Him and His Son. Those that fully accept Them will receive all that God desires to give; all others (save those that deliberately reject God in favor of Satan) will also be saved, receiving as many of God’s blessings as they choose. Again, please correct me if I’ve misstated any of these—I’ll be happy to correct them, if need be—but I’ll let the reader decide which of these teaching(s) are most “inclusive.” HTH!
