It argues that Mormonism’s Jesus is not the eternal Son of God but a created being and spirit brother of Lucifer, undermining His deity and the sufficiency of His atonement. Joseph Smith is identified as a false prophet whose revelations and additional scriptures—the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price—contradict the biblical principle of sola scriptura.Core LDS doctrines, such as works-based salvation, temple ordinances, celestial marriage, and the promise of exaltation to godhood, place salvation on human performance rather than Christ’s finished work. Grace is redefined as power to achieve worthiness, not the unearned gift of God. The highest afterlife, celestial exaltation, is reserved only for those who obey LDS law fully, diminishing Christ’s role as sole Savior.The critique concludes that while many Mormons are sincere and zealous, their doctrine represents a counterfeit gospel. True salvation, it argues, is found only in Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone, according to Scripture alone.
