The Articles of Faith
This is what we as "mormons" believe ...
- 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, repentence; 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 orgaization 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 priviledge 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.
If you are interested in obtaining a free copy of the Book of Mormon to read for yourself,
please feel free to email me by clicking here.
If you choose to receive a Book of Mormon, please read it and pray to know whether or not
it is true for yourself. I believe that this book is truly a second testament of our Savior,
Jesus Christ and that by learning of it's teachings, in companion to the King James Version
Bible, we may truly be happy here on this Earth. There is a scripture found in the Book of Mormon
in Moroni 10:3-5 that promises you that if you "pray with a sincere heart with real intent, having faith in Christ,
He will manifest the truth of it unto by the power of the Holy Ghost."
