A Traditional Baptist’s Endorsement of Mitt Romney

Sometime ago I received the following email regarding a Baptist who endorsed Mitt Romney. In the email, our fellow Mitt supporter encourages those who are curious about the Mormon faith to watch Richard Dutcher’s “State of Grace.” Below is a portion of his email:

To Whom it May Concern:

First of all, as a traditional Baptist, I was stunned after viewing a movie called “States of Grace.” A friend of mine from Utah sent it to me for Christmas. In spite of everything I have come to learn about Mormonism, here is a movie – a Mormon movie nonetheless – that demonstrates a deep understanding of — and longing for — unconditional grace and forgiveness through a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In my opinion, it movingly depicts the power of God’s healing love and redemptive grace that comes after a fall and repentance. It not only shows the heart of Christianity, but it convincingly challenges the stereotypes that many of us traditional Christians have of Mormons and their belief in only conditional grace.

Second of all, I love my country and the constitution it was founded upon. The only person I believe will stand up for those beliefs is Mitt Romney – a.k.a. The “Mormon Candidate.” I will say that it would have been hard to pull the lever for a Mormon until I had a few questions cleared up for me. I believe this movie can be a landmark film in presenting a view of your church and Mormon life that has never before made it to the big screen – answering simple questions such as polygamy … interfaith relationships and Mormon beliefs concerning grace.

Many, and I do mean many, of your beliefs and doctrines I disagree with, but I don’t want a country ran by Pres. Clinton II, Obama … or even Giuliani. I believe Gov. Romney is a Christian who shares my most important values. Now more than ever, we Christians need to pull together and I believe States of Grace can be that elusive element that brings us together. The movie is extremely thought-provoking and very educational for many in America who don’t know much beyond popular rumor about the faith of the man who just might be the next president. In short, this little film has the potential to actually shift and mold public opinion in a presidential campaign without being a political hatchet job like Fahrenheit 911. It should be required viewing for the entire Christian community.

… I would have to say I have never felt closer to Mormonism, and Christ’s message of love, redemption, and hope, than after viewing States of Grace. …

Your Brother in Christ,

Mitt for VP!!!
