What is the LDS churchs position about the central doctrine of Evangelical Christianity, salvation by grace alone?
The official LDS book, Gospel Principles (1997), printed by the LDS church, in its “index to lesson topics” has NO LISTING for “grace.” Grace appears to have no importance in Mormonism. Gospel Principles, quotes from and refers to the book, The Miracle of Forgiveness, authored by beloved LDS President Spencer W. Kimball. President Kimball wrote on page 206: “One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of God; that belief in Jesus Christ alone is all that is needed for salvation.” This indicates that Mormonism is strongly opposed to grace.
