“All mankind may be saved by obedience to the Laws and Ordinances of the (LDS) Gospel”
“Accepting our view of biblical interpretation is mandatory for another person to be considered a saved Christian. There is a vetting process we put all said believers through as a means to determine if they are legitimate in their stated faith.”
The Spirit is Primary and Preferential.
The Scripture is Secondary and Referential.
Religious Traditions are, at best, tertiary and deferential,
Organized Religious rule is obsolete and inconsequential.
