Biblical Unity

Years later, the church has softened its position against Christianity. This caused many to rethink the Christian sects mentioned in the First Vision. This shift began under the leadership of Gordon B. Hinckley, 15th president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Let me say that we appreciate the truth in all churches and the good which they do. We say to the people, in effect, you bring with you all the good that you have, and then let us see if we can add to it. That is the spirit of this work. That is the essence of our missionary service.

Gordon B. Hinckley, Nairobi, Kenya, 17 Feb. 1998

Today, Mormon people accept and embrace what my generation rejected and despised. The idea that disciples of Jesus must be born again no longer carries the stigma it held in my youth.

Suddenly, the account of Nicodemus and Jesus found acceptance among the Mormon people.

³Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? ₅Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:3-5, KJV

Pause and Ponder

Today, Mormons and Christians believe in the need for us all to be born again.

• Is this a good thing?
• Do we now have unity in this essential salvific matter?
