Are Jehovahs Witnesses Saved?

On the basis of one step doctrine have they not believed? If not why?

JW's are an interesting bunch. I don't believe they have any hope with regards to being saved. Why? Well... both Oneness and Trinitarian believers see Jesus as being God. However, Oneness and Trinitarian believers debate on the details as to "how" Jesus was God. JW's deny the deity of Jesus altogether.

That's my opinion.

No.

In faithfulness to the Bible, I have to say, "No, the JW's are not saved."

They are the one group of religious people that I often wonder if I am justified in giving them cold shoulder, justified in not going out of my way to be kind to them, justified in not having a burden to pray or even care for them as people, because of their doctrine.

I have more tolerance for Hindu's and Muslims than for the JW's.

I am probably wrong on some level for this, but if I wasn't interested in being transparent, I wouldn't be posting under my real name.

lol

If they are unsaved and don't understand that Jesus is God... is it not more necessary to love them? Be filled with Jesus and be an extension of Christ when speaking to them.

On the basis of the 3 step doctrine, Mormons believe in repentance, water baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost with speaking in tongues.

Do you consider mormons saved??

No. And they believe in the gift of tongues, not in the Acts 2:38 experience.

They don't believe in the gift of tongues like we do either. They believe that if u can learn more then one language then u have the gift of tongues

Exactly. I rushed to post that before running off to a meeting and wasn't able to clarify it.

In keeping with the thread (although, I understand what MTD is trying to do..lol), JW's have not believed on the LORD Jesus Christ, so nope, they're not one steppers.
