This guy is Mormon?

Well, one year at BYU, 2 years "haitus", and then done.

This... I have trouble reconciling "The One True Church" argument.

We essentially have three groups who have been exposed to the One True Church

1. Pre-Messianic Jews (2-5 million people I would estimate)
2. People exposed directly to Christ and the Apostle Paul (maybe 100,000)
3. Mormons (guessing roughly 20 million, counting deceased)
4. Nephites and Lamanites (5 million???)

So in the history of the world there have been roughly 15 billion people, and 30 million people "know" the truth. I would think that an Omniscient and Omnipotent God with One "True" Plan, would put up slightly better numbers then .2% .

That only jives if you believe this life is people's only chance to be taught the gospel.

We were sent to this life to be tested, yes?

What's the point of taking a test, if only .2% of "the class" even have the study materials?

You're confusing those that have used the study materials vs. those that have been offered the study materials and not utilized them. If you look at the latter your numbers go up significantly.

To follow up on Qman's post, the LDS faith teaches that the immediate hereafter (the "spirit world") is very much a continuation of this life. It's not until the resurrection (potentially much later) that an individual's test is over. And the gospel is being taught to individuals in the spirit world, so that no one will be denied access to the "study materials", as you put it. See Doctrine & Covenants section 138 for some of the detail on the spirit world. https://lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/138?lang=eng

If he is a top ranked prospect, isn't he most likely a one and done?

If I am Krsytkowiak (sp?) then I am selling this hard to this kid. "Look at what Derrick Williams did. If you come to Utah, you can have everything BYU offers (good classes, good campus, pretty Mormon girls, avoid drinking, whatever else Donko sells people on) PLUS you are in the PAC-12. Which means if you take us to the sweet 16, instead of being a late lottery pick ala Jimmer, you will go top 3 ala Williams."

That being said, I highly doubt either Utah or BYU gets this kid. Since he is a one and done, I fully expect him to somehow end up at Kentucky.

I'm not doubting... I just think there is more than one way to skin a cat. I would believe god probably thinks so too...

I would think it logical, that God may have provided a separate path to salvation for Muslims than he has for Mormons, because of cultural differences so that they may be saved too. I don't care what the prophesies say... the LDS church will never ever reach as significant influence in the middle east that it has in America.
