One True Church of Christ?

I have been investigating the church for several years now
and this seems amiss.
It seems that truth is an all-or-none thing, If doctrine is
not infallibly correct, then it can not aptly called truth.
Since all doctrine comes through inherently fallible human
beings, all doctrine is possibly subject to at some least
traces of error.

Therefore the one true church of Christ would seem to
inherently require a living breathing, walking talking
Christ, otherwise the best that can be achieved is a
reasonable facsimile.

Christ did appear to several people after his death. He
might not be living in apartment in Jackson County MO, but
we do believe he's alive.

The doctrines that are pertinent to salvation, for instance the
necessity and mode of baptism with proper authority to be recognized
by Jesus Christ are not in dispute among the saints.

How do we know that they are doctrines pertinent to salvation in the

Baptism is the process that removes sin.
Removing sin is essential to be reconciled to GOD.
Thusly, salvation.

Here's how to tell. If a doctrine sounds like it was copped
from a previous form of Christianity and wouldn't sound
odd to most Americans, it's pertinent to salvation.
If a doctrine sounds like something someone in the wild
west came up with in eighteen hundred something,
it's not pertinent to salvation. It only matters that a prophet
said it if it's already been determined by the above method
that it's pertinent to salvation. One caveat: "among the saints"
is not as simple an identifier as those who use it would like
"non-saints" to think...

You said, " the necessity and mode of baptism with proper authority to


be recognized by Jesus Christ are not in dispute among the saints."

The Bible says that Baptism is water used wtih the Word of God, and
faith comes by hearing, and Biblically, infants can believe. It says
nothing about rituals, modes or authority

And why do you believe that baptism is a necessity for eternal life?
The Gospel of Mark says that it is not the absence of baptsim that
condems but the absence of faith.

Someone just assumes because someone else made the claim.
I don't see your view of salvation any different than playing the

It most certainly does and I have quoted some of the relevant passages

Seriously...find something that a current LDS Authority
has said in public (non-exclusively LDS public venues)
about what they believe concerning salvation and Jesus
and see if it differs significantly from what representatives
of other Christian sects say about salvation and Jesus in

I'd dare to guess that the LDS teachings about salvation are
closer to other churches than they want to admit. But, the
Bible readers of the world have argued for centuries.

That's part of the problem. The face that LDS put on in public says
nothing about rituals, endowment, sealed marriage, the person of Jesus
Christ, etc. A Christian can only accept LDS doctrine if they don't
believe in one transcendent God, that Christ is incarnate, the
complete attornment and the Gospel of grace through faith alone.

What current authority says has little relevance. Are LDS taught that
there is a planet Kolob or that Christ lived in America for a while?
Sounds like something from the wild wild West.

Of course current authorities are not going to say this in public. It
is an embarrassment.
