    Is pyrokinesis real?

    The videos below show 2 tai chi practitioners being able to generate enough body heat or channel their energy to ignite a fire. I'm more interested in seeing approach more than trying to solve if these feats are real or not. I'm predicting that some would dismiss these from the start, others...

    Are babies saved? Can they be saved?

    On another thread, a Christian member states the following: I wonder how can babies be saved if they don't have the ability to confess their sins nor understand sin and salvation. They obviously can't be saved by works either. So how are babies saved?

    Why are Mormons not considered real Christians?

    I had a talk with 3 Mormons a few weeks ago. One guy said that he believes both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and that the Mormon Bible was just additional revelation. What came to mind is why wouldn't God continue revealing himself in this day. Why stop at the book of Revelation?
