I don't usually pass things around on the Internet and I know
you will let me know if this is appropriate or not on the list.
but I shared it with my Outpost to inoculate them so to speak
and I wanted to share this with others...
>
> WARNING
> There are two cults going door-to-door: Mormonism and
> Jehovah's Witnesses. They claim to be Christian religions, but
> they are not.
> Mormonism teaches:
> - God used to be a man on another planet and Mormon members
> may become gods of their own worlds.1
> - There are many many gods.2
> - The Trinity is three separate Gods.3
> - Entrance into celestial heaven is by the consent of God and
> the
> Mormon prophet Joseph Smith.4
> - God has a body of flesh and bones.5
> - God is married and produces spirit babies by having physical
> relations with his goddess wife.6
> - Jesus, Satan, and all of us are spirit brothers and sisters
> procreated in a pre-existent spirit life.7
> - God had relations with Mary to make Jesus� body.8
> - You must shed your own blood for the forgiveness of some
> sins.9
> - Good works are necessary for the forgiveness of sins.10
> Be careful. Rarely will they mention these 'higher'
> doctrines. Therefore, you really don't know what they are
> teaching until long after you have joined. Be warned.
> The Jehovah's Witnesses teach:
> - Their church organization is the prophet of God.11
> - Jesus returned invisibly in 1914.12
> - Blood transfusions are sinful.13
> - The Holy Spirit is God's impersonal active force.14
> - Only their church members will be saved.15
> - Jesus was an angel who became a man.16
> - Jesus did not rise from the dead physically.17
> - There is no Trinity.18
> - Good works are necessary for the forgiveness of sins.19
> Be careful. Jehovah's Witnesses will want to begin a
> home 'Bible study' with you. What they really want is for you
> to join their religion.
> These groups are non-Christian cults because they deny
the
> true biblical doctrines of Jesus and salvation. First,
> Mormonism says Jesus is the brother of the Devil.7 J.W.'s
teach
> that he is an angel who became a man.16 These teachings are
not
> biblical.
> Second, both these cults erroneously say that in order to
> be saved you must cooperate with God by doing good works. The
> Bible says that salvation is a free gift from God.21 The Bible
> condemns the addition of our works to the finished sacrifice
of
> Jesus.22 Galatians 2:21 says that if salvation comes by works
> ("if righteousness comes through the Law"), then Jesus died
> needlessly. Salvation comes by God's grace through faith
alone,
> not by our works21 which are impure.29 Simply put, they each
> preach a false message of salvation.
> The Bible teaches: there is only one God;23 God is
> spirit;24 Jesus' sacrifice cleanses from all sin;25 Jesus is
> the only way to God;26 all who receive Jesus as Savior will be
> saved;27 and Jesus is God in flesh 20 who rose from the dead
in
> the same body He died in.28
>
> Side 2
>
> These are some of the things the Christian church has
> always believed. These two cults distort them and thus lead
> many into eternal damnation. Why? Because...
> Only the Jesus of the Bible saves, not the brother of
> Satan (Mormonism), not an angel made into a man (Jehovah's
> Witnesses). Faith works only when you trust someone who is
true.
> The Mormons and J.W.'s are good people and we love them;
> but, they are misled.30 They do not know that the true gospel
> is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for our sins
> and that we receive His forgiveness by faith alone (faith in
> the true Jesus). Satan has blinded them.30 Jesus said that if
> the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.31 That
> is why this Christian ministry is exposing these cults, so you
> won't be deceived.
> If you want to be assured of the forgiveness of your sins
> and have peace with God, then you must realize that you have
> sinned against God,32 and are separated from Him.33 Then, ask
> Jesus into your life; ask Him to forgive you of your sins, and
> save you. He will.27 He is Savior and Lord and He is as close
> as the call of your heart. Then read your Bible and go to
> church. At least now you know which two not to join. Eternity
> is a long time to be wrong.
