Love your evangelism of the truth to the Mormons, can tell it’s done in love and truth, keeping y’all in prayer

I really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you so much 💓

Great conversation 🙏 praise God

Great job guys. This is the first time I have seen Sarah. She did a great job.

The emphasis on the Bible is grace through faith and good works. Ephesians 2:8, James 2:17, James 2:24.

Thanks for sharing, love this convo!

Im a Christian member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. These great members didnt articulate or clarify that we dont believe our works play any part in our salvation. Its not after all we csn do which actually means "in spite of or no matter what we try to do". Christ saves us completely and nothing we do earns any portion of that salvation. Our so called works are actually a demonstration of our love and faith in/for Christ as we try to do things that develop us into becoming more like him (ie developing obedience, love, etc) which efforts are actually part of a repentance process (developmental process). We absolutely believe that our efforts by themelves are futile. However, when Christs grace (as we turn to him) is involved he shows us the power of his grace to transform us from sinners into godly beings who think and act more like him. Our efforts to try is like learning to play the piano or developing any skill which takes practice but must involve Christ grace. As we keep practicing to do and become good and try to involve christ in making changes where we need to he empowers us and works in us and changes us through his grace. And we can appreciate his great power and recognize we have nothing to boast and that any good we do is not because of us but is because of him.

When Paul was talking about grace over works he was talking about the works required in the law of Moses not good works such as explained by James; James 2:24.

Really encouraging video

Spread the Gospel not to argue and debate about it. And we shall see who and the truth is after death 😊

To answer the question “What do I need to do to live with God for all eternity?” read Matthew 19:17.

What is interesting to note, there is nothing in their Book of Mormons that clarifies anything of their actual core doctrines, but in fact there is much in the Book of Mormon that refutes their very own core doctrine. In truth, the LDS faith core doctrines comes from all the added "revelations" that Joseph Smith Jr proclaimed in Doctrines and Covenants, and then added history from their Pearl of Great Price.

Apologia says “Scripture is the highest and only infallible authority for all men” Jesus said Matthew 28:18.

6:20 It would be confusing if you choose to ignore the clarification of all of this in James 2. Clearly it is not by faith only. James 2:17 - "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." James 2:24 - "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."

LDS members are more humbled just by listening to them. Every denomination has its views and if you know Jesus they all mean the same thing in the end. Ponder about.

Latter Day Saints don’t trust their hearts; they trust the Holy Ghost. Based on what Apologia is saying they obviously don’t trust the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 12:3.

Well, Mormons, from their perspective, do have certainity that most of humankind will end up in a kingdom of glory, whilst Evangelists, from their perspective, do have certainity that only a hand full of people that were lucky enought to find Jesus in this lifetime, will end up in heaven, whilst all the others will burn eternally... So if I am honest about it, if I had to choose which certainity I would prefer, not just for myself, but also for all other people that ever lived before they could even hear anything about Christ, then I would certainly pick the LDS view, which takes Timothy by his words when stating that "God wants to save everyone".. Not just the LDS believe that God wants to save everyone, but also believing that he is powerfull enough to prepare ways that each person, no matter what backround or when they lived, will be treated euqally by God. Now, you believe that you have certainity that you will one day live in the presence of God. But what about all those Evangelicals, and I know some of them, that were Evangelicals for many decades, experienced all the signs and wodners of being saved, and yet still made their way out of Evangelism, some even into Mormonism... What about them having certainity? There are only a few options here, either they will remain saved, though being Mromon, or they never had been saved in the first place, but then noone of you actually can ever really have any real certainity on being saved, for there are enough people that had been sincere Evangelicals, that are no longer.. and so to simply ague with the one or the other, makes it way to simple to look at it in a sincere way..

Apologia is wrong here. Baptism is listed in the Bible as an essential work for salvation; John 3:5.

Jacob at marker 5:57 says that baptism is not essential, that statement is incorrect. Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God John 3:5 Peter also taught Repent and be baptized every one of you Act 2 :38.

Ok, I've got to chime in here. Evangelical Christians are very, very confused on the grace vs. works topic. The problem with this person in this video is that they focus on a few scriptures from paul and completely ignore what else paul taught. For instance, paul clearly taught time and time again the importance of our works. Ex:1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 2 Corinthians 5: 9-11, ephesians 5:3-6, galatians 5: 16-21, galatians 6: 7-8. Paul clearly says over and over, if ye do such works, and in these verses he lists specific works, he says, ye will not enter into the kingdom of god. So yes, works do matter!! Why? Because pauls said so!! The bible is like an instruction manual for life. You can't just pick and choose a few verses here and there. You need to read and use the entire instruction manual. You need to read and follow ALL OF PAUL'S TEACHINGS. Do our works alone save us? NO!! OUR WORKS ALONE WILL NEVER EVER EVER SAVE US . THE GRACE AND MERCY OF JESUS CHRIST IS WHAT SAVES US. Jesus christ has done everything possible for us to receive true salvation. He is the savior. Our works don't save us. They transform us into something better. Our works make us clean and keep us clean. The bible teaches time and time agsin, "NO UNCLEAN THING SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD ." Our works help us to become better disciples of Jesus christ and better men and women. Again, our works transform us into something better. Just as they did to mother Teresa. Why was she one of the most christ like woman to ever live? It was her works with the poor. Her works is what helped her to be so christlike. Did her works save her? No!! They transformed her into something better. They transformed her into something more holy more pure more christlike. Think of the transformation of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly. A caterpillar is a bit ugly, slow, and simply ordinary. But think of a butterfly. They are beautiful. They are graceful. They are free to fly and go places that a caterpillar simply cannot. This is what happens to us when we are converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ and follow christ and keep his COMMANDMENTS. Our works don't save us. They transform us into something more beautiful and wonderful. My question to you... Do you want to live the rest of your life as a caterpillar or a butterfly?

You just carried on a good 23 minute conversation with Mormons where you discussed the gospel and Jesus Christ. Then you had the gall to give it a disingenuous title: “Mormonism fails the test of certainty.” Shame on you for setting out to tear down another religion. We have no doubt that Christ lives. Christ himself spoke to Joseph Smith. Peter, James and John laid their hands on Joseph and gave him authority to administer the gospel. Yes, we believe in additional scripture such as the Book of Mormon that builds upon and clarifies what is in the Bible. It is a wonderful book. We do not believe in sola scriptura, although we very much believe in the holy scriptures. All of them. But just as Christ came down and gave a higher law than what was in the Old Testament, today He, too, can give a commandment or law to His prophet that applies to our world today, something that may not be included in the Bible.

Please don’t compare us Catholics to the Mormons, that’s distorting the truth

I have a feeling that in the end it’s only going to matter if you either loved God or hated God when you died. I have a feeling Gods grace is more gracious than we could imagine. So I plan on seeing Protestants and Mormons and Roman Catholics and maybe even some Atheists in Heaven. They could be saved the same way the thief on the cross is. God’s grace. We only know a twinkle of his grace.

It’s funny to see a Protestant, people who broke away from the Original churches, to talk about unity. Lol

How are we able to be sure that we have come to KNOW Jesus? 1 John 2:3-4 says 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. So, the Bible clearly says that whoever says they KNOW Him but does not keep His commandments(plural) is a LIAR!! Plain and simple. The gospel that is taught to many people today has been reduced down to just "faith alone". This false gospel of "faith alone" has made following the commandments of Christ null and void. Obeying His commandments have been eliminated from the gospel and have been made subsequent and optional to salvation. Walking in the Spirit has been made optional as well. This false gospel of "faith alone" changes what Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 - For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Instead of following the biblical teaching on salvation in Christ, they follow this false gospel which tells them that they can be saved by "faith alone", apart from having to keep the commandments of Christ. By teaching that we do NOT need to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ as the gospel, the saving power of the gospel has been neutralized. The end result is that millions of people have been deceived by the devil's masterpiece into thinking they have eternal life in Christ when they actually do not.

sad your grandmother was Catholic and you don’t understand what the crucifix means to Catholics. I hope you ask your grandmother what she thinks of your description of what Catholics focus on in regards to the cross. If your church is Jesus’s true church you wouldn’t need to throw the Catholics under the bus during evangelization you could just preach the way the truth and the light. The bible was assembled based on the sacred tradition of Catholic Christians and what was taught in the mass. So before you go dissing Catholics maybe you should learn the origins of your own faith. in Jesus name I pray clarity over your evangelization efforts because Utah needs to know Jesus.

I asked God if I could believe the Missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. His spirit came to me and proved that he is real and told me that the LDS Missionaries are his servants. What is more certain than that. Did Peters testimony of Jesus Christ come from scriptures or in any way from flesh? No, it came from God the Father. And on that is what Jesus Christ builds his Church.

Apologia Utah is a Calvinist group. Calvinism is a heresy.

Can the Mormon guy start a sentence without saying “Like”?
