..........I'm not sure of your position on this, Kevin......Do you disagree with any of these? How do you (or Christians from your perspective) define salvation? From what do you feel you are saved?

Redefining everything in terms of LDS doctrine is a way of life. Elder Dallin H. Oaks Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles discussed Mormon doctrine in the General Conference (May 1998 LDS Ensign Magazine). He asked the audience: "Have you been saved? As Latter-day Saints use the words saved and salvation, there are at least six different meanings. What do we say when someone asks us, "Have you been saved?" This question.. can be puzzling to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because it is not our usual way of speaking. We tend to speak of "saved" or "salvation" as a future event rather than something that has already been realized. If we answer according to what our questioner probably means in asking if we have been "saved", our answer must be "yes". If we answer according to the various meanings we attach to the terms saved or salvation, our answer will be either "yes" or "yes, but with conditions.""As I understand what is meant by the good Christians who speak in these terms, we are "saved" when we sincerely declare or confess that we have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. This meaning relies on words the Apostle Paul taught the Christians of his day: "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9,10)--
To the Latter-day Saints.. we are assured salvation from the consequences of sin if we are obedient. Every sincere Latter-day Saint is "saved" according to this meaning. We have been converted to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, we have experienced repentance and baptism, and we are renewing our covenants of baptism by partaking of the sacrament."So are you PROBABLY SAVED?The "RESTORED Gospel" is ANOTHER GospelYou are on the BROAD WAY to DESTRUCTION!You are under a CURSE!GAL 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
