Mormons and Christians

Here is a link to a thoughtful post by Ed Stetzer regarding how we ought to think of and relate to Mormons: http://www.bpnews.net/BPFirstPerson.asp?ID=39047.  He wrote of being cautious about using the term "cult:"  

I hope they keep in mind how a lost world understands that term -- and how your Mormon neighbor understands the term. We all should ask, "Will it make them more willing to hear the truth?"

He does make the point, without compromise, that Mormonism does fit the definition of a cult theologically, but counsels that we shouldn't use that term when trying to witness to a Mormon.  And we should witness to Mormons, as they veer from the plain truth of scripture in important ways.   But our goal in doing so is not to be proven right, but to bring them to a true, life-changing understanding of the gospel.
