SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST
vs:
THE EXALTATION OF MAN
God's word, the BIBLE, which clearly states that our salvation is
through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, alone through one faith and
His Grace --- not as a result of fabricating our own righteousness by
"good works" by attempting to become "perfect" as a result of laws and
ordinances of any organization.
I JOHN 5:11-13
"And this is the record, that God hath given us eternal life, and
this life is in His son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that
hath not the Son hath not life. These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye
have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of
God."
God spells it out - you either have life through the Son or you reject
Him. It is either Heaven or the Lake of Fire; no "grey areas"; no
half-way locations. You either accept the Son or you reject Him.
Mormonism claims to accept Jesus ----
"We have His name on our church" - But we have now seen that the Jesus
of Mormonism is a different Jesus- not any resembalance to the REAL
Jesus. Further, by rejecting the total sufficiency of the New Covenant
of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for their personal sins - and
instead electing to attempt the old covenant of works, laws, temples,
etc ----- they nullify the offer of eternal life as a gift by God's
Love and immeasurable Grace:
GALATIANS 2:21
"I do not frustrate the Grace of God: for if righteousness come by the
law, then Christ is dead in vain."
As a result, the Mormon believing in the Mormon Jesus, and not the
real Jesus of the BIBLE; and following a life only of works, even with
utmost sincerity, without the saving faith in the one who died for
them, personally, is LOST. We don't say that - GOD says that - in HIS
Word - The BIBLE
THREE KINGDOMS?
Let's go further ---- Mormonism claims three "heavens." They take I
CORINTHIANS 15:37-49 totally out of context to arrive at this false
teaching. Where Paul is declaring that an individual's resurrected
body is different in Glory from his earthly body - as the sun differs
from the moon, from the stars - Mormonism has declared three kingdoms
of Heaven:
TELESTIAL KINGDOM
Where all the wicked go, whether they've rejected God and Jesus all
their life or not - Murderers, etc !
TERRESTIAL KINGDOM
Where good and honorable persons go - they only failed to accept the
"gospel" of Mormonism.
CELESTIAL KINGDOM
a) LOWER DEGREE
Good Mormons, but failed to marry in the Temple and having "other"
imperfections. These will be allowed to be angels.
b) MIDDLE DEGREE
Mormons who failed to accept the complete "gospel" but were married in
the Temple, sealed to many wives, and are in the process of being
exalted through baptism of the dead, etc.
c) HIGHEST DEGREE - EXALTATION
"Perfect" Mormons. They will be gods themselves just like God the
Father. Will have eternal, multiple, marriages for the purpose of
sexually procreating billions of spirit children to populate another
world that they will reign over as that world's god.
MORMON TERMINOLOGY
Let's be "clear" on some important terms - even though you will find
Mormon writers interchanging them, in a strict sense they are:
SALVATION
Resurrection only; immortality, or simply life after death. This is
what Christ's death on the cross "achieved". This is what all mankind
has by the Grace of God as a free kingdoms
of Heaven:
TELESTIAL KIN
