The scriptures warn about this situation. They rightly state "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers." (2 Corinthians 6:14)
You know the Truth and in these situations it is very hard for young people in love to do God's will. I know, for I have been involved with a Catholic woman ( I am Protestant). Since we both found Christ though our faith and would not compromise our beliefs, we did not get engaged.
Since you know in your heart and mind that aspects of Mormonism are contrary to the will of God, you should pray for God to lead you to a man even more wonderful than you can imagine who also shares your faith in God.
Unbelievers will scoff at this answer, for it goes directly against the desires of the flesh. But trust in the Lord will keep you safe in his love, which is greater than any earthly pleasure.

Sorry. But unequally yoked. It will not work. Christianity is the way. You may one day have children and that will really cause conflict. To bad, You should not have spent enough time with him to fall in love. When you realized he was not a christian you should have moved on. It's like playing with fire. You will get burned. Either you are a christian are a backslider. Remember God gave you a choice. Be faithful to God and he will bless you more than you can measure. Read Psalms 1:1 and the very first part is what you get most of from Yahoo Answers. Don't be intimidated. You know the truth. Any religion that has a mans name attached to it is false doctrine.

The wisest thing for you to do would be to break off your relationship with this person before you find yourself in a worse place than you already are in.
While Mormons may be very nice and respectable people, they follow a different gospel and are not true Christians. They believe that God was once a man and that Jesus is a "spirit brother" of the Devil.
Pray for that guy and invite him to church but other than that don't let temptation overcome you and have to live with a big mistake the rest of your life.
Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven (like Moroni?) should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, 18 and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty."

It doesn't sound like you will ever feel comfortable converting to his beliefs. I don't blame you, I don't think I could do it.
But now you've got a problem, because if you don't convert, then he has to. And you'll find out real quick that you can't convert a potential husband. It has to be something that he truly wants, and something that he truly believes in.
I think you should talk to him about it. Tell him that you love him, and it's because of that love that you don't want to pressure him into doing anything that goes against his beliefs. And if he truly is intent on staying a Mormon, I think you need accept him as a good friend and move on.
Just talk to him first, find out what he thinks.
Good luck!

I fell hard for a non-christian too and she was the most amazing woman I ever met. I got all the vague promises about her converting, etc., but it was a big mistake, a waste of 2 years of my life and one that hurt my relationship with God (while it was going on). My advice would be to end it now, as great as it seems nothing good will come from it, and it will just be more painful the longer you wait.

Sounds like you've already answered your own question. See 2nd Corinthians chapter 6.

my advice to you is to UNFALL in love with him. quickly. don't get involved with a mormon...you will end up with heartache either because you won't convert and he will have to end the relationship. or, you will stay together and you will have heartache because you have to raise your kids the crazy-a** mormon way. take some time to learn about mormonism. they seem christian on the surface, but in reality they use some unhealthy cult practices. pray to God that he will give you the strength to see what is and isn't from Him. and also that you will have the strength to move on and find a Christian guy.

First, Mormons are Christian also.
Second, the Bible does not require that your spouse be of the same faith as yourself, or of any faith for that matter.
1 Corinthians 7:12-13
To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. (NIV)
1 Peter 3:1-2
Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. (NIV)

Jesus said in the last book not to add to my words Revelation 22. He sounds like a nice guy, yet he is in a cult that also says satan and Jesus are created and are brothers.
I witness to many mormons-dont let your heart out more-share from a distance -comparing notes-tell him about your salvation, and relationship to Jesus
millions know Jesus personally -they chose not to be deluded.
I am born a Jew taught to reject Jesus too -now he is my savior and best friend.
Isaiah predicted perfectly="Unto us a child will be born, a son given and he will be the mighty God and the prince of peace."
maybe its time for you to check it out
and his promise spoken from heaven=Revelation 1:1&3:19&20 "I love you and knock on your hearts door to come in when you repent from sin and ask me in to be your friend."
so i prayed "Jesus i am sorry for my sins come into my heart and help me by my friend, amen."
worked for me -now I am no longer under the delusion of rejecting Jesus-he is my best friend. The day i reject Jesus I am told I will be put back into our families rich Jewish will. But I told my mom, I cant take Jesus out of my heart, but even if I could I wouldnt do it.
praying for you and best wishes too, David till he comes to Jesus the bible says-dont be unequally yoked with an unbeliever, for what fellowship hath light with darkness...
pray for him and if he wants romance -put him in Jesus hands and let him make the decision to come to salvation in Jesus and be truely saved before you will hold his hand and head in respect no matter what has happened till marriage.

There are 10001 places where the bible conflicts with itself, so, I'm not sure what you're all worked up over. The differences between Christian sects amount to nits of theology, for the most part.
