Hi, I'm Brent

I'm the middle of 3 boys. I like to ride my bicycle. I love playing the ukulele and Chess, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am the middle child of 3 boys. I was super young when my parents divorced and I was raised primarily by my mother. We moved when they divorced but my dad was/is still a part my life and is an active member of another Christian church. I love to play sports, even though I'm not that good in them. In high school I was played Football, Soccer, and also ran in track. I like to hang out with friends and family. I also like playing the ukulele and trying to sing, and I like to play chess!

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because the gospel of Jesus Christ is what brings me true and lasting happiness. I've had many experiences in the past with the things of the world that have brought me joy and happiness, but I've come to realize that the happiness and joy that I experience from such things is only temporary. I was raised in the Church, but like everyone else, there comes a time where you need to gain your own testimony, to see if what you were raised in is actually true. For me, this has come through countless hours of personal scripture study and prayer. I know that my faith in Jesus Christ has been strengthened through studying and praying about both the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

How I live my faith

I strive to be a super active member of the church. My faith has lead me to act upon the things that I believe in and know to be true. I am currently involved in helping to strengthen and uplift a group of young single adults. I try to follow as closely as I can the perfect example that Jesus Christ has set.

What do Mormons believe about “eternal life?”

Brent answered...

Eternal life is living in the presence of God forever after this life. Everyone has an opportunity to inherit such a gift. We do so by living Christ's Gospel, which is developing our faith in Him, repenting of our sins, following His example by being baptized by one who holds the proper authority, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost or in other words, being born of the Spirit and continuing throughout our life to keep God's commandments.

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.
