We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

With this portion are beliefs are very similar, except the trinity...How can God sit on the right hand of Himself? How could God be His own Only Begotten Son?

We believe that God is our Heavenly Father, we are His spirit children and that Jesus Christ is literally His Son in spirit and flesh. We also believe the Holy Ghost to be a separate being. These three form the Godhead which is one in purpose and in action. Jesus Christ commanded His followers to be one, as He and His father are one.

Yes, they do believe that. I like how it describes God, Jesus and Holy Spirit as different beings but equal in exaltation. I never got that "trinity" thing. Makes no sense to me.
But, when you hear Mormons sharing their testimonies, they often sound much like that

That is exactly what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints believes! Of course there is more to it than that but they are the basic beliefs.

I agree with free2bfe, as I was raised LDS and that is the way I was taught. The LDS people are some of the nicest people you will ever know.

I am not a Mormon, and I don't agree with all of the Nicene Creed. There is no trinity.
