 | Mormonism creates
a culture that acts like an entrapping, elastic web |
| It is rubbery on
the outside (hard to pin down specific beliefs) |
| It is sticky on
the inside (teachings and practices make it hard to escape) |
| Christians need to
empathize with Mormons and their daily walk |
| Conflicting and
elusive doctrinal statements create an elastic doctrine |
| Positioning
Mormonism as seemingly Christian keeps members from exploring the
Christian alternative |
| Many rules are
being watered-down to counter movement away from the church |
| Messages are
mushy, can be made to be whatever a person wants to hear |
| Mormonism
teaches almost everyone
(including unbelievers) will inherit an eternal destiny far better
than life on earth |
| Most Mormons have
not hardened their hearts |
| Most are lost and
being misled by false prophets |
| Witnessing God's
word to Mormons glorifies God |
| We do not convert
people, the Holy Spirit through the power of God's word converts
people |
| We must study
Mormon doctrine, terminology, culture, and doublespeak to learn how to
cut through this elastic web and reach Mormons |
