Knock! Knock! Mormon Missionaries Calling


Usually, you are preoccupied in some way and there is a knock at the door. You open it and two smartly dressed young men are standing there smiling, equipped with clipboards, and calling themselves elders. They want to talk to you about the importance of families. You soon realize that they are part of a religious group of some sort as they refer to "their church." You ask if they are Christians and they reply "yes." They talk about Jesus, God, the Holy Ghost, salvation, and use the Bible. Before long they are in your home and want to do a study with you. They are, of course, the Mormon missionaries.
But are they giving the householder an honest impression of who they really are and what they really represent? Most people do not realize just how different the Mormon Church is (when compared to other churches) until they have become more deeply involved.
