To ex-Mormons, former LDS, etc. who left to come to the real Jesus, let me ask you for your experiences. What was it that finally got you away from the delusions and into the truth of Scripture?
I want to be loving, but firm. I want to be compassionate, but uncompromising. I'd love to hear your experiences on how the genuine gospel resonated with you and turned you away from the counterfeit that Mormonism puts out there. I want to find ways of reaching the lost who don't know Him.

Repenting means to reject what is false and put your faith into what is true.View quoted post on X
The Greek word for repent is metanoia, which literally means to "change one's mind."
I would ask that you change your mind from what you currently believe to believe what is true. I know that is no small task, but I'm dead serious about it.
Let me put it to you this way, do you agree that Jesus said there would be false Christs to come?
And if a person were to believe in a false Christ, what would it mean for that person who believes in that false Christ?
And if somebody were to point out to that person that they are following a false Christ, how should they respond?
To be more blunt:
If you were following a false Christ, wouldn't you want to know? Wouldn't you want somebody who cares enough about your very soul to come and say something?
I know you don't believe me. I know that you don't know me and that I don't know you. Maybe you feel that "it's not my place" to point it out.
But man, this is eternity on the line.
So how can I possibly remain silent in light of that?
I don't care what you think of me. I don't care what it costs me. I just want you to be in the truth, and I'm telling you that Mormonism isn't it.
I'm not here to belittle you. I'm not here to insult you. But I am challenging you. I want to be more loving and to be more kind, but what I cannot do is compromise the Word of God in order to get there.
So then, tell me, how do you want to be approached if you are the one in the wrong? I'm serious here. We all face moments in our lives where we are wrong about something. Nobody is immune from that. So what does it take in a situation where you are wrong about something to have you take a step back instead of digging in?
