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 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 b
