The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

Well, what do you want to know? You can ask anyone here and we'd be happy to answer any questions you have! Where are you from?

Well I'll give you the Articles of Faith, these were given to a newpaper (or book/magazine) by Joseph Smith Jr., the first prophet of our church when someone asked what we believed! If you have any more questions feel free to ask!!!

The Articles of Faith
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints


We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.


We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.


We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.


We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.


We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.


We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.


We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.


We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.


We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.


We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.


We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.


We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.


We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Hi Lauren! You can help answer Saramana's questions too! How was Disneyland? I didn't even know that you were going!
 
i see...so what is the book of mormon...is it like the bible or something??

Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent- where did this belief come from?
 
The Book of Mormon is another Testament of Jesus Christ. A really good place for you to go to get better answers than what I can give is www.mormon.org it is set up by the church for those who want to know more about it and to get information! Have I not answered any questions I forget after so long! Do you have any other questions?
