Pastor Joel Osteen speaks out on Mormonism

Pastor Joel Osteen responded (Here) to questions about Mormonism and if it should be called a "Christian" religion.

It's a shame. How can a pastor of a church that hosts approximately 47,000 people each week use the excuse that he doesn't "know enough about the religion's beliefs to comment?"

Statements like these promote Universalism, and they defiantly are not in line with scripture.
Read John 14:6 and then take a minute to think about what Joel-O said…You have to understand that if person doesn’t have a correct view of Jesus, then they don’t have His promises either! Jesus is NOT a “spiritual” brother of the devil, Jesus was not “created” by God, and God the Father was NOT created either.

Why are we losing sight of what is important. The Bible says that it is appointed for a man to die, once, and then judgement. The TRUTH is that we will not be judged according to our works, but according the Law of God (aka the 10 Commandments).
If “Christians” don’t have the salvation of the Jesus Christ of the Bible, then they will not be saved from the Lake of Fire! You can call a Mormon whatever you’d like…Call them a Catholic, call them a Protestant, call them a Baptist, but the bottom line is that unless they truly accept who Jesus is according to the inspired word of God, then they are not Born Again!

What a shame, loving these people to hell. Whose conscience will that be on?
What are your thoughts?
