Line dancer: I do not give up. Jesus do not give up on you either, you have time until you die.

Mumof4: Nice answer. I have always admired the niceness of the Mormons even though I do not believe the same way. : )

Moises _Frias: I believe in free will. You are minority group. God's Word is the same for you even if you choose to to follow the cahnged message of your organization

None..even though Jesus died and gave us salvation through Grace. You have to Know who Jesus is in order to chose ham as your Savior.

Human religious philosophical assurance. Theres only one assurance given in the Bible and it is only by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 4:4-5)
Deeds are subjective. This is why it just becomes a by-product of our faith in the Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ. The fruit of the spirit is enumerated in Galatians 5:22-26. It is just natural that what ever we plant, that is also the one that will grow. So you harvest what you sow. "GIGO"

The only assurance we have is the feeling of the Holy Spirit within. Any assurance of salvation based on deeds is called "self-righteousness."
However, we do believe that all the ordinances of the Gospel are necessary... eg baptism, receipt of the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and the temple covenants (devoting all our time talents and posessions to serving God). But none of those things assures us of salvation. Only faith in Jesus Christ, leading to the sweet peace of the Spirit brings that assurance.

For the Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) A person can receive a "testimony" which is a witness directly from God that the path they have chosen is in accordance with His will.
There is also something quite advanced that can happen at a later time called "Calling and Election made sure".
deeds required = (1st ones) from the "Articles of Faith"
We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

I believe the deeds are mentioned in the word. we are to believe on him, we are to believe that he is and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. We are to love our neighbors as ourselves and walk in love. Baptism in his name is important in receiving Christ and I believe in the gift of tongues as a sign that the Lord is dwelling within.
When someone has received the gift of salvation his deeds will manifest themselves in their actions-the way they treat others. This can not be done without relationship with him.

The faithful patriarch Job said that there is hope even for a tree to sprout again, but man, when he dies, is gone permanently. But Job then indicated that he was speaking of man on his own without help from God, for Job expressed the desire and hope that God would remember him. Similarly, the apostle Paul informs Christians that they, having the hope of resurrection, should not “sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope.” Again, speaking to Gentile Christians, Paul points out to them that before coming to a knowledge of God’s provision through Christ, they were alienated from the nation with which God had in the past been dealing, and as Gentiles they then “had no hope and were without God in the world.”—Eph 2:12.

Give it up, for crying out loud!
Do you think Jesus would want his modern-day followers to sit on their backsides all day behind a computer screen and focus their hatred for one particular religious group by attacking their beliefs while refraining from opening the Bible and sharing their own beliefs? I don't think so.
Face it, Nina. You are all mouth. You say you don't agree with the Mormon lady? Okay. WHAT does she believe that you disagree with, and what do YOU say is the truth from the Bible? You can't answer that, can you? Your only intent is to tear down, NOT to build up. Jesus NEVER did that.

As with other Christian denominations, Mormons and JWs believe the Bible's statements that no one will know who will be saved until we stand before God.
Anyone who says they know more than that is a fool who has not read their scriptures very well.

'There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death'. It's up to God to give the gift of eternal life. Nobody can earn it because it is a gift.
