Mormons: The Church Of Latter Day Saints
"Mormons" frequently alludes to individuals from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (LDS Church) in view of their confidence in the Book of Mormon, however individuals regularly allude to themselves as Latter-day Saints or once in a while just Saints. The
Mormon religion (Mormonism), whose adherents are known as Mormons and Latter-day Saints
(LDS), was established under two hundred years back by a man named Joseph Smith. He asserted to have gotten an individual visit from God the Father and Jesus who revealed to him that all holy places and their beliefs were a cursed thing Joseph Smith at that point set out to "reestablish genuine Christianity" and guaranteed his congregation to be the "main genuine church on earth".

Mormons acknowledge Christ's amends through confidence, apology, formal pledges or statutes, for example, immersion, and reliably attempting to carry on with a Christ-like life.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was established in nineteenth Century America and has more than 12 million individuals around the world, incorporating 190,000 in the UK.

    Mormonism has usually been described as a frontier religion. But study of the circumstances of its origins and its continuing appeal in the area which bred it suggests a different view. The church did not rise during the pioneering era of western New York. Its early recruits came from many sects, but invariably from the longest settled neighborhoods of the region. Joseph’s peregrination during the period when he was pregnant with the new religion were always eastward, not westward, from his Manchester home. The first congregations of the church formed at Manchester, Fayette in Seneca County, and Colesville in Broome County. These facts together with the realization of Mormonism’s dependence on current excitements and upon myths and doctrines built by the passage of time into the locality’s very fabric, demonstrate that the Church of the Saints was not a frontier phenomenon in origin.…

In 1837, there was an economic collapse of the Kirtland settlement which caused many Mormons to leave but Smith decided to head west of Missouri with his followers. In a year, conflicts arose between the Mormons and their neighbors who feared Mormonism caused the Missouri governor to ordered all the Mormons to leave the state.

    Mormonism is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist Christianity. This movement was founded by Joseph Smith, Jr., in the 1820s. During the 1830s and 1840s, Mormonism gradually distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism. Mormonism today represents the new, non-Protestant faith taught by Smith in the 1840s. Mormonism in itself is its own religion. It has its own beliefs and customs. But it has some connections to other mainstream monotheistic religions. These religions are Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Mormonism shares some commonalities with these religions and some differences.…

    He received a witness of truth through the Holy Ghost and filled with light. In the 1832 account, he said he “was filled with the spirit of god.” In 1835, he says that it “filled me with joy unspeakable.” In 1838, “he saw a pillar of light” which was beyond his comparison and description. In the 842 account, he shares that he “was enwrapped in a heavenly vision.” He was also enwrapped with a light brighter than the noon time of day. God is love and he is light, and Joseph smith was borne witness of this through the holy ghost. He received his truth and light after having a question and praying in earnest, which leads to a witness from the holy…

    Doubting and questioning gospel principles and doctrines helps our testimonies become stronger. It is part of a normal process to doubt and question gospel doctrines. Some would have us think that we should believe every principle and doctrine of the gospel blindly, without question. This, however is not what the Lord intends for his disciples. In James 1:5 we read, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” (Bible King James Version) It is important to study and pray by faith to gain personal revelation.…
