Romans 10:9-10 “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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

In addition to the confession of faith passage above, let us not forget what it says in Romans 10:4 –
‘For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.’
Every Mormon that believes the words from Mr. Renlund at this past GC (April 2023) has essentially confessed they don’t believe Jesus.
The five items listed below are a summation of the talk he gave regarding what it it takes to be a true believer. You’ll notice how none of them pointed out that Jesus is the only way to be saved. Everything they listed has a qualifier attached.
1. keep the commandments of God
2.repent with a broken heart contrite spirit
3.live the gospel of Jesus Christ
4.keep the law of chastity
5.dedicate ourselves and everything the Lord blesses us with to build up His Church
Please, pray for those who listened to this man’s lies and for Jesus to intervene!

General Conference, ‘Accessing God’s Power Through Covenants,’ April 2023 “The covenant path leads to the ordinances of the temple, such as the temple endowment…
In the endowment, we covenant, first, to strive to keep the commandments of God; second, to repent with a broken heart and contrite spirit; third, to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do this by exercising faith in Him, making covenants with God as we receive the ordinances of salvation and exaltation, keeping those covenants throughout our lives, and striving to live the two great commandments to love God and neighbor.
We covenant, fourth, to keep the law of chastity and, fifth, to dedicate ourselves and everything the Lord blesses us with to build up His Church.” — Dale Renlund
