We're going to take it to the throne of grace with prayer before we begin our study tonight.

So please join me in a word of prayer.

Our Father in heaven, Lord, we come to you now with a humble heart, with one mind, and we pray that you would indeed go before us now and bless this study that

you would have your children here.

Lord, I ask that you would just remove emotions and feelings and allow your Holy Spirit to

break down the barriers of those emotions that we often have and allow your Holy Spirit to break down the barriers of those emotions that we often have

and allow your truth to be heard.

And with your truth, penetrate the hardest of hearts,

and allow us to learn from your truth and take heed to your truth

and be better stewards of your word and better Christians by your truth.

And we thank you now for that which only you can do.

And I pray and know that you will.

In the mighty name of Jesus the Christ we pray, amen.

So tonight, and with the Lord's permission, we're going to tackle a touchy topic dealing with yet another group of professing Christians called the Mormons.

And now this topic hits really close to home because they are many Mormons here on the island of Oahu,

and I'm quite sure there are even Mormons or prior Mormons here with us tonight.

But it has to be discussed.

And once again, this is not an attack on the people involved in this practice,

but we as Christians need to fully understand that this is not Christianity,

or perhaps more poignantly, being true followers of Jesus Christ. It's not. One of the things that

always gets lost in the understanding of what a Christian is is just that. What is a Christian

according to the Bible?
