Salvation by Grace: Dividing Line between Cults and Christianity

"This is the exact dividing line between Christianity and the cults. If I am talking to Mormons, I can point out that if someone is involved in a car wreck, I can run out to them, witness to them, they can accept Christ moments before they die, and they will go to heaven. No Mormon will accept that, saying NO! NO! HE MUST DO SOME THINGS FIRST! The Mormons will talk your ear off about grace, but they simply don’t accept any such thing in actual practice. As Josh McDowell put it, salvation by works righteousness is the universal panacea of fallen mankind, but that isn’t Christianity." --Mark Thompson
