About Me

i am serving a mission in Tucson Arizona. i have only been a member for a little over 2 years now. i live in Indiana.

Why I am a Mormon

i had no faith in Jesus Christ. I met with the missionaries. i felt a lot of peace and happiness when the missionaries where around. so i wanted to have that feeling all the time. so i toke all the lessons they had to go over. so then they asked me to pray about what they where telling me. so i prayed and got my answer. i joined the church and have been happy ever since.

How I live my faith

right now i am severing a full time mission. i have only been a member of the church for a year and 9 months. i share with everyone what i beleave. i live the gospel the way it should be lived and enjoy every minute of it.

Why do Mormons baptize their new members?

Gary T. answered...

We follow the example of Jesus Christ, who was baptized by immersion by John the Baptist. Being baptized is a symbol of faith, as it represents the burying of old sins, old ways and old habits, and taking on the name of Jesus Christ. We are "buried" in the water, which represents the environment of the past, and therefore we must be lifted up in order to survive. That lifting up represents our being lifted up by Christ, out of the past, and into the great promises and blessings of being one with Christ. When we come out of the water, we are symbolically a new person in Christ.

Do Mormons worship Joseph Smith?

Alan answered...

No. "Worship" is reserved for members of the Godhead: Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Worship means giving absolute devotion, adoration, and submission to someone, and only God is worthy of receiving true worship. God said "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:3)" So what do we think about Joseph Smith? He was a mortal man called by God to serve as a prophet, and he was a great prophet. We love Joseph Smith, we study his teachings, and we are grateful for the work he did. But we do not worship him any more than we worship Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Peter, or any other prophet. We worship God.
