Hi, I'm Michael

I'm a college student. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I like to play paintball, rock climb, and play sports with my friends. I'm currently preparing to serve a mission for the Mormon church.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born into the Church, but I have developed my own testimony of Jesus Christ and his doctrine, which are taught in the Church. I know that this is the only church on the earth which has a fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that He is my Savior, as well as the Savior of each of us. Following His teachings is the only way for us to be saved and exalted.

How I live my faith

I attend Sacrament services each Sunday and strive to obey the commandments every day. I am preparing to serve a full-time mission for my church for the next two years. I will be preaching this Gospel to those I come in contact with each day.

What do Mormons believe about the Holy Ghost? Who is the Holy Ghost?

Michael answered...

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. He is a personage of spirit, or in other words, he is a spirit that doesn't have a body, otherwise, he could not dwell in us. He has a special purpose: he teaches truth, comforts us, and sanctifies us. He cannot dwell in unholy temples, so we must be cleansed from sin through repentance and baptism before he can dwell in us. We must be baptized the same way that Jesus was: by immersion, and by someone who has the priesthood authority of God. Then, as we remain worthy, the Holy Ghost can always be with us.

Does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints endorse political parties?

Fred answered...

No. Our leaders have always operated from the concept that if we teach one another correct principles, we will then make correct choices and govern ourselves. The Church encourages each person to carefully consider every issue and each candidate and to prayfully seek guidance and then to vote responsibily. We are encouraged to be involved with our communities and nation but the Church does not take political positions or endorse parties or individuals.
