They worship Jesus Christ, therefore they are Christian. Same as Catholics. Of course Protestants will try to say the term applies to them only, but they are jackasses.

No, they may claim to believe in Jesus Christ, but in their mind you have to be a Mormon in order to go to heaven, plus they added a third testament to the Bible "The Book of Mormon", which is in direct violation of Revelation 22:18, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book.  If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the direct plagues that are written in this book:"  They have their reward coming to them, and it won't be pretty.

We, as Christians, believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and that without Him nobody gets to heaven.  You don't have to be a member of any particular domination, just believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and that He is risen from the dead.

My fundamentalist teachers tought me the same thing, but I thought the books of the Bible were written individually. Why would John refer to the entire Bible while he was writing Revelation? It specifically mentions prophecy, so couldn't that be referring to just Revelation in particular? Not trying to argue, just asking a question.

The Bible was penned by 39 individuals, but authored by God.  All Scripture is God-Breathed.  Thus, the individuals wrote what God showed them.  That includes both the Old and New Testaments.

That answers nothing. Why are you so sure 'god' is referring to the entire Bible as 'this book' rather than just Revelation? Because it fits your point of view? You do realize that Revelation was placed at the end of the Bible by humans, correct? Since it specifically mentions prophecy, does that mean it's ok to add things to the philosophy of the Bible? To the laws?

I am 99.9% sure that even if the words were written by a supreme being, it is in reference to the 'book' of Revelation. Not the 'book' of the Bible.
