After I read the post I realized it didnt make since...What I meant was that there are groups that are recruiting Christians in as Christian clans. The clans are Mormon and one is J. Witness. The more information I read coming from the LDS(Mormons) is that they are saying they are Christians. The problem with that concept is that their beliefs are in direct contradiction to the Bible's teachings of the fact that the word is God breathed and it is the only directions you need for your life. Solo Scriptura.
I am not trying to say who is wrong and who is right that is not my job that is for God and God alone. I am simply restating scripture. I am sure there are LDS people that will try and argue this point but the theology of that faith doesnt align to the teachings of scripture. My fear is that some may be interested in these faiths because they are for the most part very good people. The Bible is very clear that there will be people that will try and misdirect the sons and daughters of Christ. They wont come in a flash of light they will come looking and sounding much like others. It is up to us to be ever vigilant to the distractions from the cross.
One good question to ask is after the book of revelations was written why did God need to make himself more clear by writing "another testiment". The answers I have gotten to this are not only extreme contrast to each other but also to the Holy Scriptures.
Peace Bro
If you want more information I will gladly post a few books on this subject. Actually our pastor is having an open discussion with a top LDS theologian from Brigham Young University(The Mormon University) this month the title of the discussion is, "The Mormon Jesus". I will be happy to send you a video of the discussion. It should prove to be interesting, our pastor is also a Professor or religion at a local University.
