According to Mormon practice, you cannot be married or sealed in the Mormon temple if you do not convert and are baptized into the Mormon Church. Therefore, according to their belief you will not be able to be married to him for all eternity. They believe marriages are supposed to be forever, hence, the Mormon baptism, confirmation, temple marriage and sealing that work together for this to happen. If your a Christian then you only believe in marriage for time only, until death do you part. If you both agree that a "for time only" marriage is good enough for each of you and if you can love eachother no matter where either one of you are in your spiritual growth, understanding of God and methods of worshipping Him...etc. and if you can love eachother unconditionally... making the marriage mostly about the other person and not about self, while humbly submitting to God and to eachother, then your marriage will work.

It's not going to work......if the relationship continues and turns into marriage I can say you two will be very unhappy. I would try to convert him to Christian, but I would personally NEVER give up Christianity to become a Mormon......it's a really strange religion that I consider cult like........and there have been and still are existing cults that are made up of Mormon radicals. Not to say that your boyfriend is part of a cult or anything, but I would just not want to be apart of, or raise my family in anything like that.

Do not proceed with wedding plans! Ask the pastor at your church for a pre-marriage counseling session or class. If your church does not offer one, find one. Go to a Christian counseling service in your area. Get these things resolved NOW.
You know that the Bible says not to be unequally yolked.
And take the time to look carefully into Mormonism. It IS a cult. Clue: they don't believe that Jesus is God.

Mormons are Christians are they not.
Personally I believe that a marriage has a better chance of surviving if both people are committed to like - or at least similar belief systems.
Naturally this is not always the case but , it surly is better to work it out before making commitments especially if children will be involved.

I would highly encourage you to read about what Momonism purports - much of it is occultic especially when it comes to the secret temple rights. Also, mormonism teaches salvation through works, not faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Consider the following verse of 2 Corninthians 6:14 "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers." Unbelievers are those who do not embrace the gospel - and the gospel alone - period. There is one final very practical verse I need to site you - Amos 3:3 - "Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"

Technically, if you believe what the Bible says about marrying someone of a different religion it can't. I know that sounds really hopeless and lame, but it's true. You probably love your boyfriend a lot, too, so I'm sorry to tell you this.
But God says that marrying someone of another religion that isn't Christianity is wrong. Not just because 'God says so' but because it'll be hard. I know a Christian-Mormon marriage, and they have constant fights on what to teach their daughter. It's also difficult because the biggest part of your life can't be shared with your spouse.
It's really sad, but it's true. My prayers are with you and your relationship, and with your boyfriend.

Mormons are NOT Christians.
Mormonism teaches that God used to be a man on another world and that he became a god by following the laws and ordinances of his god on his home world. He brought his wife to this world, a woman he had married on the other world. She is, essentially a goddess.
In his present god-state, he rules our world. He has a body of flesh and bones. Since god and his wife are both exalted persons, they each possess physical bodies. In their exalted states as deities, they produce spirit children that grow and mature in the spiritual realm. The first spirit born was Jesus. Afterwards Lucifer was born along with the rest of us. So, Mormonism teaches that we all pre-existed in the spirit realm having been produced from the union of god and his goddess wife.
The scriptures say this:
2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?
2nd Corinthians 11:3-4 But now I fear that you will be tricked, just as Eve was tricked by that lying snake. I am afraid that you might stop thinking about Christ in an honest and sincere way. We told you about Jesus, and you received the Holy Spirit and accepted our message. But you let some people tell you about another Jesus. Now you are ready to receive another spirit and accept a different message.
Galatians 1:6-9 I am shocked that you have so quickly turned from God, who chose you because of his wonderful kindness. You have believed another message, when there is really only one true message. But some people are causing you trouble and want to make you turn away from the good news about Christ.
I pray that God will punish anyone who preaches anything different from our message to you! It doesn't matter if that person is one of us or an angel from heaven.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. I hope God will punish anyone who preaches anything different from what you have already believed.
Precious one - it is excrutiating to love someone who is not also saved. It causes much heartache.
Please - do not bind yourself to this one you love via marriage - seek to act for Jesus, and witness to them about the truth in Jesus Christ.
Here is a Christian site that can help give you the tools to witness to him:
http://www.carm.org/mormon.htm
Pray for him always, precious one.
Feed your Spirit on the Word daily.
Hold tight to Jesus, no matter what.
Peace.

Mormons claim to be Christian but believe a lot of things that Christians do not believe, like that Jesus came to North America to minister to the natives.
I suggest you find out more about your boyfriend's beliefs and understand what you believe before you decide to get serious.

Unless one of you converts you'll have nothing but trouble in your marriage. How will you raise your children? Christian or Mormon?

You could raise your kids 'Christmons' or ' Mortian'.... whatever.
There are many inter-religious marriages as well as inter-denominational marriages: Catholics/Protestants, Evangelical/Pentecostal, Jews/Christians.
If you truly love each other, you can work things out. BUT, it'll probably be a good idea to sit down and talk about what you want for your kids and how you wish to raise them. Also, what expectations you would have of each other... wedding ceremony, going to different church functions...
To my understanding, though, there' s a possibility eithier of your church's could ex-communicate you for doing this, right?
