Mormonism

Many regard Mormons, also known as Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, as Christians. After all, they use many of the same terms as Christians. In reality, Mormons consider their movement as the only true church and try to distance themselves from historic Christianity.

There are other differences between Christianity and Latter-Day Saints as well. To Mormons, while the Bible is a source of truth, it contains errors and its teachings about salvation are wrong. In contrast to clear Christian teaching of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, Mormons believe they can earn their own salvation and become gods themselves. Unlike Christianity, Latter-Day Saints also believe that God was once a man who progressed to become a God, and that Jesus—like all humans—pre-existed as a spirit. As for salvation, Mormonism teaches that eternal life is earned by obeying laws and ordinances and that all humans will eventually enjoy eternal life.

The Bible contradicts these and other doctrines of the Mormon church. The Bible’s central teachings are clear: it is God’s Word and without errors; there is one God but three persons, one of whom is Jesus; humans will never become gods; and heaven is a free gift which cannot be earned, available only to those who place their faith in the Jesus as taught in the Bible.
