Examples as they are often applied to Latter-day Saints

  • No true Scotsman - Some enemies of the Church define 'Christian' in such a way as to exclude the LDS.
    • Argument: Latter-day Saints are not Christian because they do not believe in the Trinity.
    • Rebuttal: "Christians" are not defined as those who accept the Trinity, but rather as those who accept Jesus as Son of God and Savior. Since LDS do accept this, they are "Christians," just not "Trinitarian Christians." In other words, "Trinitarian" !&equiv "Christian."
