There's something important that I need to talk about. I'm going to talk about it here, because you all are my friends and I'm just really confused, frustrated and hurt right now

I don't have that paper anymore, but I remember making a big deal over Moroni (?) and his visions. But as for the guys coming back, from what I know about what the Mormons believe, only so many are going to be accepted into the Kingdom, and you get in by doing so many good deeds and converting many to faith. I see that as wrong. In the main Christian faith, confess with you mouth and believe with your heart gets you into Heaven. It's your works on earth that determine the rewards you'll get in Heaven. "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with you heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans 10: 9-10 Also, "Jesus answered: 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 So, according to the Bible, which the Momons 'claim' to follow, it is not deeds alone that shall get you into Heaven, but faith. Hmm, a bit contradictory I think. So yeah, it's not their decision when you get baptized. That is something you decide when you're ready. I didn't get baptized til i was 17, cuz that's when I was ready. I had been going to church for about 2 years. So don't put your guard down. Defend your beliefs, cuz they are YOURS! Hope that helps. If you need any help while they are there, feel free to call my cell. I will talk to them for you. Love always, David
