The fact that Smith said something condemnatory of non-Mormons (if indeed
the quote is authentic) in NO WAY shows that the doctrine of the Mormon
church is that only Mormons go to Heaven.  If it were, then the common NT
quote that "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" would be
proof that in normal Christianity, no one goes to Heaven.

Why not just quote the Mormon doctrines if you want to prove that they say
something?  This approach of "He said X on topic A, so he MUST have believed
Y on topic B" is silly.

I can't take seriously someone who claims that I am a Mormon when I
explicitly stated that my information was from Mormon missionaries.  Are the
Mormons proselytizing their own now???  This sort of error does not speak
for very careful reading.
