Hi, I'm Mike

I'm a Mormon. I was born in England but now live in the US. I'm a public relations practitioner.

About Me

I'm a convert - met the Church in England when I was 19. Raised my kids in Australia and now live in the US near the headquarters of the Church in Salt Lake City. Love the Church and its principles, and all I've learned from being a member for over 40 years.

Why I am a Mormon

I find in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a strong motivation to try to live as Jesus Christ would want me to live. The Church embraces all the principles that the Lord taught when he was on earth, and that we read in the New Testament. I love its compassion, its genuineness and the truly magnificent concepts of families living together for ever, and the fact that we continue to grow and develop even after we die. I can't imagine an eternity where we just rest. That makes no sense to me. Our Heavenly Father would always want us to be learning and growing. Above all, I embrace the Church because I made the Book of Mormon a matter of deep personal prayer and study, and I got my answers.

How I live my faith

Most of us feel we fall short from time to time, but the grace of Jesus Christ carries us the rest of the way if we do our part. I believe in being honest, kind to others, working hard, and I try to avoid being judgmental. My wife, children and grandchildren are the center of my world, and the gospel of Jesus Christ is the glue that holds it all together.

Do Mormons practice polygamy?

Ryan. answered...

No. Mormons do NOT practice polygamy. There are many people outside the Church that say otherwise, but that doesn't change the truth of the matter.

There is nobody living on this earth right now who can truly claim to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who practices polygamy. It is against the law, both of the land and of the Church. We do not approve of such things.

There are some groups of people who do practice this and also claim to be Mormons, but I assure you that they are not in any way affiliated with this Church.

No.

What do Mormons believe concerning the doctrine of grace?

Tamara Forsyth answered...

We are all saved by grace no matter how we have lived our life, as long as we believe in Christ and believe that he is our Savior. Most Christian religions believe that this is all there is to being saved. Mormons believe this for the part of being saved in which the body of flesh is reunited with the spirit. For this part of being saved, yes, Mormons believe that all people, no matter how they have lived their lives, will be saved and have their body reunited with their spirit at the resurrection through the grace of God. However, Mormons also believe there is another part to Christ's atonement and being saved, and that refers to his taking on of our sins. To be saved from our sins, and take upon us the name of Christ such that his atonement will wash away our sins and we will have everlasting life in God's presence, we must repent of our sins. After we have done all that we can do, then the grace of God will wash away our sins because of Christ's atoning sacrifice on our behalf.

Joseph Smith

As is the case throughout history God has communicated to His children through prophets. God used a humble man as a prophet to restore His Church on earth who ultimately died defending His faith.
