My little brother is interested in becoming a Mormon missionary but he is not sure of the commission structure. He figures that you would have to deal with a lot of rejection since most people are already members of a church. He has been practicing every day in the mirror though. If you get a base salary plus commission he might want to consider this. I can't find anything on the Internet about this for him though. Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

No, we are not Mormon but he thought that being a Mormon Bishop would be a good career and it would give him good moral standing in arguments. He could join. What are the membership fees? What are the education requirements?

Being a missionary is one of the highest paying things you can do. You lay up treasure in heaven.
Being a Bishop is a great aspiration. The ones I know are richly rewarded by blessings and the love of those in their wards.

I don't know why a missionary would know anything about the Coromos theory. It is obscure at best. She answered you truthfully. Just because someone has no clue what you are talking about, doesn't mean that logic is on your side. The tiny settlement of Moroni wasn't found on any map in 1830. It didn't become map-worthy until it was made the capital, well after Joseph Smith's death. It has no logical connection to the Book of Mormon. She was also correct when she said that the Smith family were not treasure seekers. To my knowledge, only Joseph Smith has been accused of this, and it isn't a fair evalutation. I'm pretty sure all of us looked for "treasure" when we were kids. From all available testimony, Joseph actually had a knack for finding things. None of this detracts from his labors as a farmer. Although it is true that Joseph Smith was briefly associated with a Masonic order, it is not true that any of their ceremonies are religious in nature. The Masons are not a religion. The Temple ceremonies bear little resemblance to the Masonic ceremonies. The Masons did not baptize for the Dead, marry for eternity, perform washings and anointings, or endow their members with power from on high. The Masons are just a fraternal organization.

You're kidding, right?
Mormon missionaries DO NOT get paid. They have never been paid for their service. In fact, missionaries pay to go out in the field. I think your brother needs to reconsider.
How old is he and is he a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? I ask because if he were a member, would already know this.
To be a missionary, men have to be at least 19 years old, and be a member for at one year and in good standing. You can't just come out of nowhere and say "I want to be a missionary".
As I might add, being a Mormon Bishop isn't a career. Bishops in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints do not get paid. They already have established careers of their own. My past bishops have been consisted of attorneys, doctors, a USC professor of mathematics, and a real estate developer. They were called and chosen by leaders to serve as a bishop, and accepted the calling.

To be come a "Mormon" missionary, your brother would have to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and deemed "worthy" by his stake leadership. Missionaries do not receive any pay or commission for their service. It is done at their own expense as a service of compassion to the Church, and the community at large, and as a commandment from God to take the gospel to all corners of the world. He must also be 19 years of age and serves for 2 years.
The many questions you have asked indicate how truly ignorant you are about this topic.

Mormon Missionaries and Bishops are not compensated for their efforts. Missionaries pay for their own travel and arrangements. Bishops are volunteers.

I'd say he should TALK TO the missionaries. He has a lot of weird ideas.

Being a mormon does NOT pay a thing, but will COST you at least 10% of your income, a lot of your individuality, and most of your ability to make decisions.
However, you (or he) can join, claim destitution and poverty, and live on the church welfare system.
Are you sure you're searching the 'net correctly?
