Mormon Challenge
Reconcile Galatians 1:8 to your founder's claims
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!
Here are the links to Joseph Smith's story of his encounter with "Jesus and God":

At this point I am forced to believe that this invalidates both the vision of Joseph Smith as well as the vision of Mohammed. Here is my surprise Mormon wake up call: Muhammad saw a vision very much similar to Joseph Smith's and it also said that those dastardly Christians were wrong but that Jesus was a great guy!
This alone should stop a Mormon and a Muslim in his philosophical tracks to reconsider. Both of these visions occurred after Paul's written admonition to be wary of this type of happening from his letter to Galatians.
Are there good Mormons and Muslims out there who do good things and are good people? Sure there are! However all three faiths believe that good actions will not get you into heaven. The only consistent characters are that of Jesus and his opponent Satan.
The implication is that these visions were not from a heavenly source but provided in deception by Satan. If the anti-Christ is the foundation of your religion then no amount of decoration will make it Christian or right. I'm not saying these individuals who practice this religion are wrong, only saying that they have been deceived.
Logically I must also assert that if you are not giving your heart to Jesus you will not go to heaven. It isn't the friendly and nice thing to say, but I'm talking eternity here and I don't want to see anyone deceived.
