Hi, I'm JD

I grew up in East Texas. I'm a ballroom dancer and I'm also a Mormon.

About Me

I'm a student on a mission to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I love social ballroom dancing. I frequent the salsa club at least once a week. I love riding my motorcycle and hope to one day create my own cafe racer. I joined the Army National Guard in High School before I left for my two year mission in Chile. I was a Cavalry Scout and later went to school to be a MetalWorker for the military. I'm currently joining the Air Force as a Contracting Apprentice. I think ping pong is the ultimate sport of men. I could listen to Jack Johnson all day. I can't sing so don't ask. I love my two cats. I'm a mormon.

Why I am a Mormon

It's a feeling you can't deny. When I read the Book of Mormon with a desire to know if it was true or not. I felt good, complete, whole...When I prayed for a confirmation of those feelings, I received a comfort from my Father in Heaven that what I was reading and feeling were indeed true and from Him. The witness of the Spirit after thoughtfully seeking out the answer wrought the concrete affirmation in my heart and has never faltered. I'm Mormon because when I live the teachings of the church I feel better and more protected against the uncertainty of this world. I'm a Mormon because I believed and acted on that belief.

How I live my faith

I live my faith every day through the sum of all my choices. I choose to obey because I must and I serve because I know that's what the Lord would have me do. I have served in teaching positions and with the youth. Hardest thing I ever did was be a Scoutmaster though.

Are Mormons Christians?

JD answered...

We declare with all that we have that Jesus is the Christ, the Holy one of Israel, the Prince of Peace, even the Son of God. If your definition of Christian is one who believes in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and follows his gospel, then yes we are as Christian as they come.
Lily answered...

YES. Yes yes yes. What is a Christian? A Christian is a person that believes in Jesus Christ, and believes that Christ did in fact die for us so that we can repent and return to live with him again. He is our Savior and Redeemer. We pray and we worship in the name of Jesus Christ. He is the center of our faith. Jesus Christ is my Savior. He died for me. He loves me. He is my hero, and he is my best friend.

What do Mormons believe concerning the doctrine of grace?

Adam answered...

Grace is a gift from Heavenly Father given through His Son, Jesus Christ. The word grace, as used in the scriptures, refers primarily to enabling power and spiritual healing offered through the mercy and love of Jesus Christ.

Everyone on earth experiences physical death. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, all will be resurrected and will live forever.

Because of personal choices, everyone also experiences the effects of sin. These effects are called spiritual death. No one can return to the presence of God without divine grace. Through the Atonement, we all can be forgiven of our sins; we can become clean before God. To receive this enabling power, we must obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, which includes having faith in Him, repenting of our sins, being baptized, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and trying to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ for the rest of our lives.

The grace of God helps us every day. It strengthens us to do good works we could not do on our own. The Lord promised that if we humble ourselves before Him and have faith in Him, His grace will help us overcome all our personal weaknesses.
