Someone who believes in another scripture. Who is doing their best live what they believe to be true, but is in bondage. Someone who truly believes they are worshiping the Jesus of the Bible when in actuality they are not. Someone I pray for each and every day, that they will soon find the truth, that they can know the real Jesus Christ.

A Mormon is a member of any of the Latter-Day Saint sects. One does not have to believe in order to be a Mormon. I lost all faith, but I'm still on the Church recorders, so still technically Mormon.

Like any other religion, they have some unique beliefs. One of the more unusual one is that God was once a man. Related to this is that men will become gods, take multiple wives in heaven, and be given a planet to populate and rule.

The official name of the church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The official website is www.lds.org. We are christians, although some other christian churches don't think we are because we have some differing beliefs, mainly that there are modern prophets who speak for God and bring forth further scripture, commandments, and guidance from Him.

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3. We believe that through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul--We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

They're mostly nice folks. Just don't make fun of their "garments". They hate that.
