Latter Day Sinner

We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory. The prophecy of the literal gathering of…

We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. Revelation has historically been the domain of prophets and patriarchs. In the LDS tradition however, everyone can and should seek after what God…

We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. I have a great deal of respect for and interest in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. As such I am committed to…

We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. Miracles such as these are hard for me to believe at times and even harder to comprehend. I have had little experience with the supernatural, and so I often rely on those around me that seem to be…

We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. The Primitive Church is of great interest to Latter Day Saints. We often talk of being a part of the Restored Gospel. This of course implies that the Gospel needed to be restored in…

We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. As the Bible says, “many are called” (Matt 20:16). Calling from God is certainly not restricted to the LDS church…

We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. Faith in Jesus is the first step in a much longer journey toward…

We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. An atonement is a way of reconciling people to God. The Jews used to sacrifice unblemished animals to redeem their people from a variety of sins. These sacrifices are seen by Christians…

We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression. Sin is very real. Every person is imperfect, suffers temptations that distract them away from thoughts and actions that serve God, and we fall short a times. When we knowingly and willfully indulge our imperfections, this is sin. But…

We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in his Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. God and His attributes have been debated throughout human history. This is because God in His entirety cannot be fathomed by any one man. I do not believe that God is bound to a physical body but…
