Romney presided over a blue state that, when he took office, was billions in the red and 49th in the nation for job creation. He finished his term with a state that had a surplus, had jumped to 37th in the nation for job creation, and all with total per capita state and local taxes increasing only a smidgeon. And he did all that with a legislature that was overwhelmingly Democratic and kept overriding his vetoes of specific spending. I'd call that quite an accomplishment.

The Apostle's Creed is pretty much just fine, but the Nicene is not Biblical, and therefore to the extant that it is used as a basis for doctrine neither is any sect that uses it. You really need to study the history of the evolution of the mainstream doctrine of the Trinity. And millions believe that Christ is precisely who sent Joseph Smith, our own Moses.

And of course, it was Jesus that commanded us to be perfect. And for the number of heavens, it was Paul again that mentions at least three: "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows." And yes, that heaven will be open to all that are worthy.

That is indeed what the LDS Dictionary says, which basically repeats what Paul says: "24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

The phrase from the Book of Mormon is that it is by Grace we are saved after all we can do, which is perfectly in line with Paul's assertion that being saved by Grace is an ongoing process in which we are participants, and which we can fail even after a fine start.

Also a problem with the assertion that only Mormons can reach Heaven's highest levels - there will be plenty of people that never knew the LDS Church existed that will have that as their final destination.

True enough, when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Messiah. But that will be a little late to do us much good during *this* life.

Certainly, by the lights of the Creedal Christians Mormons are heretics for rejecting the Nicene Creed. Of course, for Mormons Creedal Christians are heretics for *accepting* the Nicene Creed. Heresy is purely in the eye of the beholder.

Every objective definition of a cult that I've seen that can be applied to the LDS Church is equally applicable to the first Christians.
