“Despite Christians being given the keys to the Kingdom, they have no more power than non-Christians.” Do you agree or disagree?

Answer:

Being Christain myself, (LDS) I can say we aren't given the keys just like that.

Matthew 16:19, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” The word “Keys” (kleis in the Greek) means power and authority.

How do Latter-day Saints receive the keys of the Kingdom?

They receive the keys of the kingdom by virtue of which they are empowered to organize, preside over, govern, and regulate the kingdom of God on earth, which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Step-by-step explanation:

However, you can earn keys or a celestial place provided you seek forgiveness for your sins and the actions you take in you life. We nelieve there are three kingdoms when we pass that we can get in, then there is outer darkness. I could go on about this, but I'm not gonna force religion on anyone.

To answer this question, you must imply your own personal opinion. Do you believe Christians have the same amount of power as any normal non-christian, even though the Christians have the keys to the kingdom?
