I'm not sure what you mean about examining the motives. Can you explain? David Miller wrote: >> 2.

No, I do not believe that Satan is able to say this. That would be like asking Hitler to say that a Jew is King of the world. David Miller wrote: >> 3.

Yes I meant the kind of grace that is extended to men whereby they experience the light of God but have not yet been brought to salvation. In your perspective, is it possible for a Mormon to experience God and the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit that happens in the unbeliever prior to salvation? Do you see them as in utter darkness with no light whatsoever just because they are "Mormon," or do you recognize a grace that operates whereby the light of Christ comes to them, but not yet bringing salvation.
