Mormonism

Mormonism, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, considers itself a Christian denomination founded in the early 19th century by Joseph Smith in the United States. Mormons believe that Smith restored the true church of Jesus Christ, which had been lost after the death of the apostles. Central to their faith is the Book of Mormon, which they believe is a second volume of scripture alongside the Bible. Mormons practice baptism for the dead, believe in modern-day prophets, and emphasize the importance of family and personal revelation. They have distinctive beliefs about God, viewing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as separate beings rather than a unified Trinity.

​

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

-Matthew 28:18-20
