This isn't about Mormonism, it just happens that jonny was the one that said it, i've heard other Christians say this too. I just want to make this clear that this isn't an anti-mormon thread from the start.jonny said:Honestly, salvation is more of a gift in Mormonism than it is in any other Christian denomination. It's the only Christian denomination where Christ saves EVERYONE except those who knowingly reject him.
Ok. The bit i've highlighted doesn't make sense to me. I know where the idea comes from, that if you reject Christ as your saviour then you reject his gift and so cannot be saved.
But, how can someone knowingly reject him? And more importantly who would?
Think about it, if you knew that Jesus Chrsit was the Son of God and you knew that you would not go to heaven if you didn't believe - who in their right mind would reject him?
Atheists don't know that Christ is the saviour, no one does - its a matter of faith. To the Atheist or the Muslim or the Buddhist, the evidence isn't sufficient to warrent belief in Christ as the saviour.
Knowingly rejecting Christ relies on the person actively believing in Christ, but then rejecting him anyway. No one knowingly rejects Christ, if they reject him its because they don't know.
Am I wrong?
