You seem to be the expert on who is and isn't Mormon material.


It is merely by doctrinal comparison. But everyone on the no list could make a good Mormon because they can repent. In fact, there is no one in the world who couldn't make a good Mormon. But according to the Bible, there will be relatively few who actually take the appropriate steps or who would be willing to cast away their sins to know Christ.

I could probably be a good Mormon again if I were more prideful.

Bcspace is right - even Hitler's allowed in once his baptism was done...

I am so tempted to play this game, but I honestly can't figure out how to do it without being offensive.

Let's try this, though.

Not:

Intellectuals
People who can't compartmentalize

Good:

People who were Born In the Covenant
People looking for a community

I'd say this:

In:

Good rationalizers
People who play the system
Control freaks
Eddie Haskell

Out:

People who know the problems but have integrity

To be LDS perhaps, but that is not a guarantee of degree of salvation. For example 1 John 3:15 would figure prominently in this case.

Yes, people with self-esteem problems boast a lot. ROFL.

The Bible talks about good Mormons? I think most Christians would disagree with you, bc. Most Christians don't believe that Mormons know Christ.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
