Even though the mormons say Jesus is an angel and JW's say there are two GODs and the caths are into Idolatry.
I know the TRUTH, Jesus is GOD in the flesh here to redeem HIS creation. There is no purgatory. I'm not putting anyone down for their beliefs just want to know what all of you think. Thanks

Yes, IF they embrace the Biblical Jesus and accept His sacrifice on the cross as payment in full for their sins. The Mormon Jesus is a counterfeit (brother of Lucifer) and not the Biblical Jesus. I'm not sure about JW's, but I do know they don't rely on Christ for salvation.
Great question and God bless you!

I study with the JW's and I'm 100% sure that they don't say there's 2 Gods. Just to clear up a little of what you said in your question. Jehovah God is the "Most High over all the earth," the bible says in Psalms 83:18.
There is no place in the Bible where it says that Jesus and His Father are one being. It does say that Jesus reflects the characteristics, feelings and teachings of His Father, but never says to glorify him or to worship him. If you read everytime he made a miracle he gave glory to His Father. He even said that what he spoke and taught here on Earth was His Father's Word, not his.

You have misunderstood Mormonism. Mormons do not believe Jesus is an angel. We believe He is God, and we do worship him. And yes, we are Christian. Here's a quote from an objective (academic) source (“Anthology of World Scriptures” by Robert E. Van Voorst):
“…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints…see themselves as Christian, and most experts in comparative religions would view this labeling as basically correct. That they…accept the Christian Bible as their first cannon is a good indicator of this. Moreover, “outsiders” to [Christianity], such as Buddhists, would almost certainly recognize them as belonging to the stream of Christian tradition.”

Yes, I do --- IF they are trusting the Christ preached in the Bible. If they are trusting in a 'different' Christ --- a different gospel, which is no gospel at all, then no.
If they deny that Jesus was God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, that He was bodily resurrected, and that His death is the only thing that saves us then that is not the Christ preached in the Bible -- so no.

I am non denominational with a tendency toward seventh Day adventist. The Bible says Matthew 7 vs21-23 " Not everyone who says to me. 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven,but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'lord,lord,' did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" Then I will tel them plainly, ' I never new you. Away from me , you evildoers!'"
Obviously there are going to be people who believe that just belief is enough to get you into God's kingdom. But even Satan believes in Jesus! Part of what we need is to build a relationship with Jesus and because of that relationship, we will want to do God's will. Accepting Jesus as your savior is part of it but "faith without works is dead." If you really have a relationship with Jesus and believe what He says, you will put it into action with the help of the Holy Spirit.
This is not to say that works can get you into heaven, because it can't. Works is only an outward sign that you truly love and want to follow Christ. In and of ourselves we are not worthy of heaven, Christ can cleanse us and make us worthy and because we are thankful and have accepted that gift, we will be doing what God wants us to do.
I also believe that there will be people from all denominations in Heaven because only God knows the heart.
Edit: yes, I hand typed the above passage from my own personal Bible. No cut and paste here.

1) Catholics are NOT into idoltry. Please ask a real Catholic, and he will tell you that the statues are there as a reminder. There is no power, no presence, and nothing truly holy about a statue.
2) It is most important to believe in God and trust in Christ. However, you must confess your sins to Christ and ask to be forgiven. You cannot just assume you are saved. When you sin, you turn against God. You have to turn back.

You must put your trust in christ, repent of your sin and live life according to His teachings and commandments. You MUST walk your talk. There is no room for hypocricy. God/Jesus KNOW what is in a person's heart and what is in that heart will determine whether they will go to heaven or not. You can't just say, "I trust Jesus" and live a life full of sin and think it is ok.

Since when do Mormons say taht Jesus is an angel?

jw are wrong.
but christians who put their trust in christ, who follow what they beleive to be the truth and strive to execute the will of God in their life, will more than likely be in heaven. Corse as with most of us, they will have to be perfected in purgatory before they enter heaven. thank goodness for purgatory.

Yes, as long as they continue faithfully to the end...
