Do you see Jesus & Paul using your Dictionary definition of Christian?
DAVEH: Some time ago, it was me (LDS in general) being accused by TTers of changing definitions to suit our (LDS) needs. Now it seems you want to do the same thing, Kevin. If you don't want to use the conventional dictionary definition of Christian, then it seems prudent to give us (TTers) your own definition....please.

Under this definition then, a decieved one who follows ANTI Christ is truly a Christian!
1) He truly Believes he is worshipping Jesus Christ
2) He truly believes the one he is following was sent by God
3) He follows his teachings and example
But in reality he is a hell bound sinner.
Help me contextualize, this apparent contradiction

Following is how my dictionary defines a Christian:
Chris·tian
noun (plural Chris·tians)
1. believer in Jesus Christ as savior: somebody who believes that Jesus Christ was sent to the world by God to save humanity, and who tries to follow his teachings and example
If we accept the secular definition of believer as somebody who believes in the teachings of a particular religious faith, then from my perspective , Mormonism falls into this category of Christian. This does not mean that they have the right belief system, or that any of them will be saved. It simply places them in the Christian category, as a religious sect that is centered on the idea that Jesus Christ is the Savior sent by God to save humanity. There are false sects within Christianity, and I think the Mor
mon sects are among them.
