Heart of the Matter
There is a wonderful newer ministry going on right now, started by a man named Shawn McCraney, called "Born-Again Mormons."  If you live in Utah, or in Southern Idaho, I encourage you to catch his show on TV.  The show is called "Heart of the Matter."  If you are not in Utah you can actually watch his show via the internet at http://www.bornagainmormon.com.  The website is everything you could ever want to know about Shawn's ministry.  Also, he has written a book called (you guessed it) "Born-Again Mormon."

There's a lot of debate between Mormons and Christians about what real faith is, what salvation is.  I think both sides have misconceptions about the other.  Christians sometimes say the Mormons can't be saved as long as they are LDS.  I'm a Christian and I'm not convinced that Mormons can't be saved; I've watched Shawn's show and I think he's got the right idea.  He focuses solely on the "heart of the matter" being salvation through faith on Jesus Christ and Him alone.  He doesn't like to get into heated debates; he just likes to preach God's word.  In doing so he's trying to reach out to the LDS church, out of nothing but love, and ensure they know that it's Jesus Christ, not works, that will bring them salvation.

Being Christian is not excluding other people, but it's loving them and trying to let them know the bottomline is having a relationship with Christ.

If anybody is interested, I highly encourage checking out this show and/or getting Shawn's book (it's only $10). It's a great ministry that deserves support!  God Bless!

No actually it's NOT a great ministry...
McCraney is a typical Charismatic-Pentecostal Televangelist.

He embraces the Calvary Chapel / Chuck Smith philosophy of ministry (was educated at their Bible College). Google this phrase: “Day of Reckoning+Chuck Smith”, find the article in Christianity Today about this whole corrupt movement.

Where does McCraney / BornAgainMormon stand ?

He believes (according to one of his own church members) that Born-Again Christians can lose their salvation. This doctrine is not taught ANYWHERE in the Bible. Certainly not a very healthy doctrine to embrace while ministering to LDS !!!

Shawn also embraces the “It’s-OK-to-Speak-in-Tongues-as-Private-Prayer” nonsense.
Tongues were revelatory (Revelatory = Direct & Immediate info from God). Tongues have ceased...
So the Charismatics are in the same boat as Mormons...they both believe in contemporary revelation !!!
Again...not a very healthy doctrine to teach while trying to win Mormons.

Numerous followers of his are from existing local churches in Salt Lake City, not LDS whom Shawn has personally won to Christ. In other words, McCraney's "church" is made up of disgruntled church hoppers, who move around from one congregation to another in and around SLC.
