it is not because of his faith -- it is because of the faith of Christ Jesus Himself. There is salvation in none other. On that we all agree.
Does Dave Hansen agree?
DAVEH: Yes.

So be it !!!! How can I conclude that Dave Hansen is not a brother ( in the grandest sense of that word) when this confession is so? The only rebuttal, as I see it, is to effectively argue that "brotherhood" is based upon doctrinal agreement that finds him no longer a Mormon but allows me to continue as a Pentecostal and and Kay as a Messianic and Bill as a Bricklayin Fool For Christ and Jonathan/Lance as Canadian Mega Liberals !! Dave will never agree with us "protestants," nor will any of us convert to Mormonism. Nor will I ever be whatever Judy is (I truly do not know her denominational tie) or a Baptist as is BillyT. But the fact embraced in the above "confession" binds us together in a way that cannot be destroyed. Why so ------------ because we are only passively involved in this reconciliation that names Christ as the Author and Finisher. Joseph Smith is not that -- neither is Charles Finney, the Pope, Calvin, Luther and the like.
