Pat Robertson appears at Mitt Romney fundraiser

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Apostasy, Discerning the Times, Discernment, False Christians, Humanism, Mammon, Mormonism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times, Wolves on August 1, 2011| 1 Comment »

Well let me see, in the last Presidential election Mr. Robertson endorsed the pro-abortion, pro gay marriage candidate Rudy Giuliani.

So this comes as no real surprise!

from politico:

The controversial religious broadcaster Pat Robertson joined Mitt Romney on Monday at a Virginia Beach fundraiser for the presidential candidate’s campaign.

Pictures from the event, shot by a local photographer, show Robertson and Romney in conversation together along with Jeff McWaters, a wealthy health care executive, state senator and the event’s host.

Robertson, himself once a presidential candidate, has largely faded from the national political scene. His surprise endorsement of Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 campaign did little to boost the former New York mayor.

If Robertson’s name is in the news now, it’s only to recount his latest incendiary comment. Which is why it’s puzzling that Romney – an uber-cautious frontrunner – would appear with the former Christian Coalition chief.

The paper trail of Robertson’s is extensive and, along with his advancing age, is the reason why he’s become marginalized. He blamed Hurricane Katrina on America’s abortion policy, explained the Haiti earthquake by claiming the country had made a “pact with the devil,” the list goes on.

In 2007, when Romney was trying to get right with the GOP’s Christian conservative base, he trekked down to Virginia to give the graduation speech at Robertson’s Regent University.

But since then Romney’s top advisers have indicated that they won’t make the mistakes of the last campaign, chief among them pandering to the social conservative base instead of being true to his economic conservative roots.

And so far in this campaign, Romney has avoided the cultural issues of which Robertson is identified. So why would the candidate appear with someone who is still a lightning rod?

Perhaps McWaters, wanting to show his swat to a visiting VIP, simply invited (comp’d?) a prominent local figure. We’ll find out when the next financial reports come out if Robertson contributed. It’s also possible that Romney’s team, wanting to be polite, didn’t deter Robertson from coming and assumed that, because it was a private event, word wouldn’t get out.

In any case, what’s for sure is, if Romney is his party’s nominee, Democrats will relish having these pictures.

The Jesus of the Bible compared with the Jesus of Mormonism.

Posted in Biblical Teaching, Christian Living, cults, Discernment, False Christians, Humanism, idolatry, Mormonism, prophetic on May 17, 2011| Leave a Comment »

from Defending Contending:

A former Mormon–one who came to a saving knowledge of the true, biblical Christ–penned the following piece found at Mormon Coffee:

This is the Christ of Mormonism:

1. He lives as a humanoid god on a star near Kolob along with his father god, bound by the physical world; he does not transcend the material.
2. He is the brother of satan.
3. He had to earn his own salvation while he was on earth.
4. He offers his “grace” only to those who work hard enough.
5. He is not from everlasting to everlasting, but was created a finite time ago by his father god, who in turn was also created by his own father god, who in turn was created by his own father god, so on and so forth
6. He is not the greatest being possible.
7. He is finite.
8. His blood is not powerful enough to wipe away any sin.
9. He aided his father in creating earth by organizing already existing matter; he is not capable of creating things out of nothing.
10. He must submit to a moral law that existed before he did.
11. You can one day become just like him.

This is the Christ of the Bible:

1. He is a spirit being that transcends space and time.
2. He is the brother of no creature; He is God, from everlasting to everlasting. No one can claim kinship with Him except those He purchased for Himself on the cross. And He is not the same type of creature they are. He is not a creature, He is God.
3. Jesus is the Author of Salvation; to say that He needed to earn His salvation is absurdity.
4. He offers His sovereign grace to whomever He sovereignly chooses; we are all tainted by sin and vile in His holy eyes. Therefore, no one is more worthy than any other human being. Thus, His grace that He offers is given unconditionally. His grace is true grace, a beautiful gift.
5. He is from everlasting to everlasting. He was never created, and Has been in relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever.
6. He is the greatest being possible, the Most High God. There is no one like Him and there is no one who will ever be anything like Him.
7. He is infinite, both in essence and in His divine perfections.
8. His blood is powerful enough to wipe away any sin, regardless of heinousness and duration. The only sin that cannot be forgive is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; and this is not because the blood of Christ is not powerful enough to wash it away, but because God has so sovereignly decreed that all persons who blaspheme the Holy Ghost should not receive forgiveness.
9. He created everything that exists out of nothing by the mere word of His mouth.
10. There is no external law that He submits to; He is the Author and the Source of the Law.
11. No one can ever come near to obtaining the glory and excellency of Christ.

The Bible Vs. The Book Of Mormon

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Discernment, False Christians, Humanism, idolatry, Mormonism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times, Wolves on March 15, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Many Evangelical Christian Leaders and Christians in general are cosying up to Glenn Beck but beware!

The words of LDS (Mormon) Church President Gordon B. Hinkley in regards to whether Mormons believe in the Christ of The Bible & Christianity:

“As a Church, we have critics–many of them. They say we do not believe in the traditional (Biblical) Christ of Christianity. There is some substance to what they say. Our Faith, our knowledge, is not based on ancient tradition (The Bible) . . .Our faith, our knowledge comes of the witness of a prophet (Joseph Smith) in this dispensation (What the Book of Mormon says)” emphasis mine.

Mormons reject the truth of the Bible in preference to the fables of the Book of Mormon. I say fables because the Book of Mormon has been shown to be historically false, contradicts The Bible and makes factual errors in regards to Biblical History!

Leaders in the Mormon Church attempt to discourage doubts voiced by members of the Mormon Chruch by telling them to trust their heart & to trust their “burning in the bosom” or emotion as the witness that the Book of Mormon is true even if what it says is devoid of ANY factual historical proof or disagree’s with The Bible!

This is in diametrical opposition to what the Bible says about trusting in your emotions and your heart.

Proverbs 28:26:

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

There is a parallel to what the leaders of Mormonism tell their members about trusting in their heart and what you see in modern Pentecostalism. Modern Pentecostalism has become ship wrecked because it relies more on the emotional experience to the extent of ignoring God’s Word. Even if the emotional experience and the fruits of it denies God’s word!

Jesus himself said in Matthew 24:5: & 24:23-28

And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many . . . .

 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  See, I have told you beforehand. “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

“The Prophet of this dispensation” that the Mormon President Gordon B Hiinkley speaks about is what Christ spoke of: “False prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible even the elect”

Beware of false prophets no matter how good their message seems, and no matter how much it tugs at our patriotic heart strings!

Evangelicals, Mormon Search for Common Ground in Utah

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Apostasy, Discernment, Emerging Church, False Christians, Humanism, idolatry, Mormonism, Post-Modernism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times on March 10, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I have to groan every time I read one of these articles. Because it shows just how shallow and blind the Evangelical church in the U.S. is becoming!

How do you “dialogue” with a false religion whose foundational beliefs are straight from Satan?

And let’s not forget what dialogue actually is: “A debate is a conflict which clarifies a position. A dialogue is a conversation which compromises a position”

And from The New Neutralism II:

“Neo-evangelicalism was born in 1948 in connection with a convocation address which I gave in the Civil Auditorium in Pasadena. While reaffirming the theological view of fundamentalism, this address repudiated its ecclesiology and its social theory. The ringing call for a repudiation of separatism and the summons to social involvement received a hearty response from many evangelicals. … It differed from fundamentalism in its repudiation of separatism and its determination to engage itself in the theological dialogue of the day. It had a new emphasis upon the application of the gospel to the sociological, political, and economic areas of life.”

from the “christian” Post:

A group of prominent evangelicals will meet with a Mormon leader Thursday in Salt Lake City, Utah, for dialogue to better understand each other’s faith.

Some of the evangelical leaders involved in the dialogue are: Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals; Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary; Craig Williford, president of Trinity International University; and David Neff, editor-in-chief of Christianity Today; among others.

“We hope this time of dialogue with LDS leaders will deepen our understanding of the Mormon faith and contribute to the ongoing work of evangelicals in Utah,” said Leith Anderson, NAE President. “For the sake of Christ and his kingdom, we seek to represent biblical evangelicalism to those who wouldn’t hear or know. We also look for common ground on issues where we can work together.”

The meeting between evangelical figures and a leader from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) takes place during the NAE semiannual board meeting. Board members, who include the CEOs of 40 denominations and representatives from a broad array of evangelical organizations, are gathering in Park City and Salt Lake City for the one-day meeting.

Galen Carey, director of government affairs for the NAE, clarified in an e-mail to The Christian Post that the NAE itself is not officially involved in the religious dialogue with the Mormon leader. Rather, some of the organization’s members will participate in the separate talk, he explained.

This is the first time a NAE board meeting is held in Utah, where about 60 percent of the population are members of the LDS church. . . . .

Glenn Beck Meets with Billy Graham!?!?!

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Apostasy, cults, Current Events, Discerning the Times, False Christians, Humanism, Mormonism, Post-Modernism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times, Synchretism, Wolves on February 23, 2011| Leave a Comment »

And the blurring of the line between the fundamental and unbridgeable differences between Mormonism and Christianity continues at pace! And not suprisingly now involving Billy Graham!

Mormons worship “another christ” and another “god” not the Christ and God of the Bible!

No one who says that God was once a man, and that men can become God’s could ever be considered a Christian as this belief violates the very foundation of Biblical Teaching! This Mormon teaching is straight from Satan himself!

from “christianity” Today:

Conservative radio and television host Glenn Beck met with evangelist Billy Graham last week, Beck said on his show.

“Just spent 3 amazing hours with Billy Graham at his mountain top home in SC. His son Franklin joined my wife and me for a talk and prayer,” Beck tweeted on February 19. “I will share some of my visit with Billy Graham on radio Monday. Side note: I expect tweet hate for me, I cannot understand BG hatred. Sad,” he said in a separate update.

A spokesperson for Graham said in an e-mail that it was a private, personal meeting (not an interview) arranged by a family member. Graham lives in North Carolina.

Beck is a Mormon and has received mixed reactions among some evangelicals. James Dobson, Richard Land, Jerry Falwell Jr., and other evangelicals followed Glenn Beck’s call for national renewal in August 2010. Some, however, expressed concern about his Mormon faith while others disagreed with his call to “leave your church” if it promotes social justice.

Beck had wanted to meet with Graham before his “Restoring Honor” rally, a round-up on his website states.

According to Glenn, Billy Graham was probably the only other person who had tried to do something on the scale of what Glenn was hoping to accomplish. However, according to Glenn Rev. Graham and his team did not feel that “the time was right.”

“Two weeks ago as I have been struggling with some ideas and some things that I am working on for the future and I am trying to get clarity again, I thought of Billy Graham. When the phone rang and they said the Reverend feels it’s time to meet, I met with him. We had an hour scheduled. It lasted three hours,” Glenn said.

“He is a very clear individual. He’s slowed down quite a bit,” Beck said on the site. “But he is of sound mind and a man of great peace.”

Beck gave his impressions saying, “These are not his views but mine.”

“My message to you is we must come together. Evil has — the left has stood — is standing now with profound and clear evil and they’ve connected from evil all the way to the average Democrat and everything in between.”

“And we are sitting here arguing with each other over, well, how do you mean that exactly? Well, what exactly do you believe in religion, et cetera, et cetera? While none of us can sacrifice what we believe as an individual, we must stand together with those who believe in God and that God endows each individual with the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Graham, who is 92 and has trouble hearing and seeing, makes rare public appearances and does few interviews. A few weeks ago, Christianity Today posted an interview where Graham suggested he wishes he had stayed out of politics.

In other Mormon-evangelical relations, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) announced it will hold its next board meeting in Park City and Salt Lake City on March 10. The NAE leaders will meet with Utah Gov. Gary Herbert at the governor’s mansion and will also meet a leader from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

“We hope this time of dialogue with LDS leaders will deepen our understanding of the Mormon faith and contribute to the ongoing work of evangelicals in Utah,” said Leith Anderson, president of NAE. “For the sake of Christ and his kingdom, we seek to represent biblical evangelicalism to those who wouldn’t hear or know. We also look for common ground on issues where we can work together.”

Glenn Beck’s New Book Reveals He Embraces New Age Theology, Is a Knowledgeable Mormon, and a Universalist

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Discerning the Times, False Christians, Humanism, Mormonism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times on January 12, 2011| 1 Comment »

from Worldview Weekend:

In August of 2010, I predicted on my national radio program that it was only a matter of time before Glenn Beck would release a distinctively religious book that would promote his New Age Mormonism and universalism. I sensed that Glenn was setting himself up to be the politically conservative alternative to Oprah.

Many self-professing Christians cannot see what Beck is up to but there are those in the unsaved world that seem to be exhibiting more worldview understanding than some in the Christian community. The Business Insider published an article on January 4, 2011 entitled, Glenn Beck’s New Year’s Plan Sounds A Lot Like Oprah’s New Network.

Last week (second week of January 2011) Beck released his latest book entitled The Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life.  The book is co-authored by psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow. 

Beck’s new book is nothing less than the promotion of universalism, postmodernism, and pagan spirituality, also known as the New Age Movement.

I tried to warn America’s pastors and Christian leaders in early August of 2010, not to unite with Glenn Beck in his spiritual rally that sought to unite all faiths and look to one God. I gave these Christian leaders plenty of evidence that Glenn Beck was a practicing Mormon that was also embracing New Age paganism.

Some of these Christian leaders said that Beck was a “new Christian”, “a baby Christian”, “new brother”, a “little lamb”, or “very close to becoming a Christian.” If they think Glenn Beck meets the Biblical descriptions of a Christian then they have no clue what the book of I John says are the Biblical hallmarks of a true follower of Jesus Christ.

A friend of mine even e-mailed a mega pastor that was publically supporting Glenn Beck’s 8-28 rally to ask him to be careful about embracing Beck and his black robe regiment because of some of the false theology Glenn was espousing. The pastor replied:

Glenn Beck is a new brother and he is learning and growing and coming to the light day by day as he is being discipled by [name of Christian leader removed].  There was once a day when you and I were in the same place he is now. Be careful that you don’t place a yoke on a little lamb rather than an ox.

Would this pastor say Oprah Winfrey is a Christian?

According to Christian Post, another Mega Church pastor said:

I have interviewed persons who have talked specifically with Glenn about his personal salvation – persons extremely well known in Christianity – and they have affirmed (using language evangelicals understand), ‘Glenn is saved’…He understands receiving Christ as savior.

How confusing to the unsaved world and to baby Christians it must be to have Christian leaders make this claim about being a Christian in light of Beck’s latest book.  Many now believe what Beck is promoting in his book is Christianity because Pastors and Christian leaders have announced that “Glenn is saved.” I have had teenagers e-mail me and come up to me at our conferences and express how confused they are by what Christian leaders have said about Beck being saved when they have heard Beck promote New Age heresy.

In light of Beck’s religious and spiritual proclamations in his new book, this would be the week for the Christian leaders and pastors that embraced Beck on the national stage, and proclaimed Beck’s salvation, to release a press release and post a statement on their website that they disagree with Beck’s pagan spirituality and that indeed Beck is not demonstrating theology and doctrine consist with what the Bible says are the hallmarks of a Christian.  These Christian leaders need to apologize for leading people to believe that Beck was a Christian or to believe that Beck held and promoted religious views that were compatible with Biblical Christianity. Dr. Erwin Lutzer, of the historic Moody Church in Chicago, correctly declared in August of 2010 on my radio program that any pastor or Christian leader involved in Beck’s rally would be involved in heresy. I agree 100% with that statement. 

In his new book Beck and Dr. Ablow promote psychologist Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, New Age authors Robert Pirsig and James Redfied, Buddha, Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche, Gandhi, The Bible and the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas. Sadly, Glenn is confused and all Christians should pray that he will come to salvation in the Jesus of the Bible through faith and repentance.

On page 56 Beck says he read A Course in Miracles by Helen Schucman which is the Bible of the New Age Movement. I wrote and entire chapter in my book Grave Influence on Helen Schucman and the demon she channeled that helped her write the book.

I have several friends who were Mormons for many years before accepting the Jesus Christ of the Bible as their Lord and Savior through faith and repentance. Tracy was a Mormon for 26 years and e-mailed me to explain why many Mormons are open to New Age Spirituality . . . .

A Public Rebuke of Rick Warren, John Piper, Burk Parsons, and Kevin DeYoung

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Apostasy, Discerning the Times, Discernment, Elitism, Emerging Church, False Christians, Humanism, idolatry, Islam, Mormonism, Post-Modernism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Rick Warren, Signs of The Times, Synchretism, Wolves on November 1, 2010| 2 Comments »

from Perfect Peace Plan:

by James Sundquist

Rick Warren’s “Battle of the Mind” Speech at the Desiring God 2010 THINK Conference (which Rick Warren did not attend but presented on videotape) resulted in a torrent of emails to me from Christians who were alarmed.  I also received a number of concerns about the response from John Piper and his panel at the conference after hearing Warren’s speech.  I had not planned on even listening to the speech because there had not yet been any formal or public repentance from Rick Warren for all of his false teachings in his Purpose Driven Life book or for the destruction he has wrought in churches all over the U.S. (a repentance speech is a speech that I would have made sure to hear).  But the indignation over the “Battle of the Mind” speech had grown so large, I felt compelled to view it and respond.  Before this I had appealed to and warned John Piper because he had invited Rick Warren to speak at his 2010 Desiring God Conference.  My appeal can be read at:

James Sundquist’s Response to John Piper Inviting Rick Warren to Defile his pulpit and people

John Piper did not listen to me or a host of other Christians who appealed to him or publicly rebuked him or Rick Warren.  Also see:

John Piper, Rick Warren and the Doctrine of Separation

for Tim Challies’ appeal regarding Warren’s appearance.  John Piper invited him anyway.  What follows is my response to Rick Warren’s speech as well as my commentary on the Panel’s response at the 2010 Desiring God Conference.  I agree with Tim Challies.

Many of the concerns about Rick Warren’s teachings are itemized in two reference books I wrote entitled: Who’s Driving the Purpose Driven Church? and Rick Warren’s Global Peace Plan vs. Scriptural Teachings on Peace, published by Southwest Radio Ministries http://www.swrc.com.  These books expose the false teachings of Rick Warren, including documented case studies of churches in which he was a destroyer of the brethren.  I am heartened to learn that so many good brothers and sisters in Christ such as Ken Silva, Ingrid Schlueter, Paula Coyle, Chris Rosebrough, Daniel Neades, and Justin Edwards  saw right through what Rick Warren presented at Piper’s Desiring God Conference.  But I am sorely vexed that Piper and the Desiring God Conference Panel of sycophants including Piper himself, Pastor Burk Parsons (Ligonier…R.C. Sproul) and Pastor Kevin Young (University Reformed Church) would cheer on this wolf masquerading as a servant of righteousness, rendering themselves derelict watchmen on the wall…a reproach to all of the saints that Rick Warren’s PDL and Global Peace Plan ship’s propeller has left dismembered throughout the world. . . . . .

Survey: Americans don’t know much about religion

Posted in Apostasy, Babylon, Current Events, Discerning the Times, False Christians, Humanism, idolatry, Mormonism, Post-Modernism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times on September 30, 2010| Leave a Comment »

from msnbc:

A new survey of Americans’ knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths.

Forty-five percent of Roman Catholics who participated in the study didn’t know that, according to church teaching, the bread and wine used in Holy Communion is not just a symbol, but becomes the body and blood of Christ.

More than half of Protestants could not identify Martin Luther as the person who inspired the Protestant Reformation. And about four in 10 Jews did not know that Maimonides, one of the greatest rabbis and intellectuals in history, was Jewish.

The survey released Tuesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life aimed to test a broad range of religious knowledge, including understanding of the Bible, core teachings of different faiths and major figures in religious history. The U.S. is one of the most religious countries in the developed world, especially compared to largely secular Western Europe, but faith leaders and educators have long lamented that Americans still know relatively little about religion.

Respondents to the survey were asked 32 questions with a range of difficulty, including whether they could name the Islamic holy book and the first book of the Bible, or say what century the Mormon religion was founded. On average, participants in the survey answered correctly overall for half of the survey questions.

Atheists and agnostics scored highest, with an average of 21 correct answers, while Jews and Mormons followed with about 20 accurate responses. Protestants overall averaged 16 correct answers, while Catholics followed with a score of about 15.

Not surprisingly, those who said they attended worship at least once a week and considered religion important in their lives often performed better on the overall survey. However, level of education was the best predictor of religious knowledge. The top-performing groups on the survey still came out ahead even when controlling for how much schooling they had completed.

On questions about Christianity, Mormons scored the highest, with an average of about eight correct answers out of 12, followed by white evangelicals, with an average of just over seven correct answers. Jews, along with atheists and agnostics, knew the most about other faiths, such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism. Less than half of Americans know that the Dalai Lama is Buddhist, and less than four in 10 know that Vishnu and Shiva are part of Hinduism.

The study also found that many Americans don’t understand constitutional restrictions on religion in public schools. While a majority know that public school teachers cannot lead classes in prayer, less than a quarter know that the U.S. Supreme Court has clearly stated that teachers can read from the Bible as an example of literature.

“Many Americans think the constitutional restrictions on religion in public schools are tighter than they really are,” Pew researchers wrote.

The survey of 3,412 people, conducted between May and June of this year, had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points, while the margins of error for individual religious groups was higher.

Glenn Beck Rally Sets Stage for “Christians” to Accept Paganism

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Apostasy, cults, Current Events, Discerning the Times, False Christians, False Prophets, Humanism, idolatry, Mormonism, Post-Modernism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times, Synchretism, Wolves on September 1, 2010| Leave a Comment »

from Worldview Times:

I tried to warn evangelical leaders about Glenn Beck’s rallies but most of them laughed at me. Now Satan is the one laughing at them as “Christians” run head-long into embracing non-Biblical theology and call it “Christian”.  

Greg West in the Mormon LDS Examiner validates my pre-Beck rally warnings to Evangelical leaders on my radio program, columns, e-mails, and phone conversations. I told them that partnering with Beck in a spiritual enterprise would send the message that Mormons are Christians.

Greg West writes:  

As a Mormon, I have to consider an unintended message throughout Beck’s work, which has culminated in this event. That message is: “Mormons are Christian believers.” Despite nearly two centuries of misrepresentation and religious envy by sectarian Christianity, Beck has achieved the visibility, prominence, and has had the time day after day, week after week, to speak openly and truly about his core beliefs. Those statements of faith have disoriented and confused those who had previously believed the lies about Mormons.

Jim Garlow, a popular and influential pastor who partnered with the Mormon faithful in California to defend traditional marriage was quoted recently in CNN’s Belief Blog, saying, “I have interviewed persons who have talked specifically with Glenn about his personal salvation – persons extremely well known in Christianity – and they have affirmed (using language evangelicals understand), ‘Glenn is saved…’ He understands receiving Christ as Savior.”

Hallelujah! The light bulb has been switched on after nearly two centuries! Every single member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes that a person must be “born again” and receive Jesus Christ as his Savior and Redeemer. Our holy books teach that salvation comes only in and through the atonement of Christ and that there is no other way a person can be saved…Glenn Beck’s beliefs are mainstream Mormon beliefs. Joseph Smith, the Church’s founder, was a Christian prophet. He was an apostolic witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
http://www.examiner.com/lds-church-in-national/glenn-beck-and-the-restoring-honor-rally

Notice that West admits that what Beck has said on his broadcasts about his faith has “disoriented and confused” people who thought that Mormonism was not consistent with Christianity. However, Beck has now convinced them that Mormonism and Christianity are compatible with the help of America’s Christian leaders. . . . .

Glenn Beck: “Laying the goundwork for a false gospel.”

Posted in abominations, Another christ, Discerning the Times, False Christians, False Prophets, Humanism, idolatry, Mormonism, Post-Modernism, prophetic, Religious Babylon, Signs of The Times, Wolves on September 1, 2010| 3 Comments »

hat tip to Defending Contending:

The following quote comes from a great article by Randy Lovegreen regarding a recent episode of Glenn Beck’s T.V. program in which Beck brazenly advanced a Mormon fallacy:

Beck is using his show to break the ice for Mormon theology, and promoting a worldview that supports the beliefs of his church. His hour long infomercial for Mormon history only makes it easier for those well groomed young men on bicycles to strike up a conversation, and lead folks astray. . . . As Christians, we must constantly be on guard against anything which may seek to corrupt our faith. This includes charming conservative talk show hosts, even if they are on Fox News.
