Ephesians 5:1-3 “Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.”

A saint is someone who makes Jesus their Lord. In the Greek this word is hagios meaning sacred (physically pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated): holy.
While part of their definition is correct (following the teachings of Jesus) no other part of the description is right. They don’t follow the true teachings of Jesus found in the Bible.
Furthermore, Mormons are not part of the body of Christ because they haven’t made Jesus their God. Lastly, they believe they have to work for their salvation.
In Christianity the only saving ordinance is to confess Jesus is God and that He alone saves us.
“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.”
Please share with a Mormon what it means to be a true saint!
