Requirements to be Active LDS – Mormon Dilemma 233
Encyclopedia of Mormonism, p. 14 “The religious practices of active Latter-day Saints include attendance at worship services and religious education classes on Sunday; donation of tithing and other financial contributions; service in a variety of Church callings; performance of temple ordinances on behalf of the deceased; personal and family prayer; scripture study; religious discussion with other family members; adherence to moral standards of personal honesty and integrity; genealogical research; service in the community; and development of habits of thrift and self-sufficiency.”
Isaiah 64:6 “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
Acts 2:38“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Hmmm…confess sins, call upon God to be saved…all other things according to Isaiah are filthy rags. Also, Romans 10:9 says this –
“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.”
Why doesn’t the Church remind its members of the two greatest commandments? Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself? Matthew 22:36-40
Share these truths with the Mormon you know!
