Another Faith??

It is the faith and belief that Jesus Christ is the only true Son of God, who came to suffer and die on a cross for the sin of mankind.

Do you have a problem including LDS in that statement? They believe what you said but the majority of mainstream Christians consider Mormonism to be "another faith".

Also, Bro. Stephen, do you have a problem with use of the term "another belief" as opposed to "another faith"?

Also also, the use of the scripture "one Lord, one Faith...." is not applicable. The same Bible that says this also says there are lords many and gods many. I submit that there are also faiths many and I have no problem using the term!

I could not include LDS.

"Belief" works better because it implies a belief about anything... I still would not use it in this context.

Right, there has to be some definitions somewhere...

Let me just say I am not comfortable in using terms like "They are of another Faith" when refering to Steve Epley, CC1, AOG, Baptists, and most others who confess that Jesus was/is God come in flesh and trust in His blood for salvation, in spite of the fact most of them do not agree with my interpretation of the New Testament.

I agree.
