This is a test. What are your beliefs concerning Hell? Concerning evolution? Concerning the Trinity? Concerning Jesus Christ as God's son and his ransom sacrifice?
I would like to see how many people post the same answers, use the same scriptures to prove what they are saying, etc.

I'm not trying to trip anyone up, I just want to know if you all believe the same things. What's so difficult about that? If you are of the same religion shouldn't you believe the same things?

Mormons believe that after the physical death we go to the Spirit world where we continue to learn about Jesus. We believe that our desire to learn about Jesus will not be changed because we decide for ourselves whether Jesus is the Christ or not...
After we're resurrected by Jesus, we will be judged by Jesus based on the law of Justice and the law of Mercy(for more information on those contact the missionaries).
Evolution, the church has no official position...
Mormons believe that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are 3 separate beings that work together as one...
Mormons believe Jesus was the Christ and his blood atonement was the last sacrifice needed by God for us...
I got my information from www.mormon.org and the missionaries...

Latter-day revelations speak of hell in at least two ways. First, it is another name for spirit prison, a place in the postmortal spirit world for those who have “died in their sins, without a knowledge of the truth, or in transgression, having rejected the prophets” (D&C 138:32). This is a temporary state in which spirits will be taught the gospel and have the opportunity to repent and accept ordinances of salvation that are performed for them in temples (see D&C 138:30–35). Those who accept the gospel may dwell in paradise until the Resurrection. After they are resurrected and judged, they will receive the degree of glory of which they are worthy. Those who choose not to repent but who are not sons of perdition will remain in spirit prison until the end of the Millennium, when they will be freed from hell and punishment and be resurrected to a telestial glory (see D&C 76:81–85).
Second, the word hell is used to refer to outer darkness, which is the dwelling place of the devil, his angels, and the sons of perdition (see D&C 29:36–38; 76:28–33). Sons of perdition are those who receive “no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come—having denied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame” (D&C 76:34–35; see also 76:31–33, 36–37). Such individuals will not inherit a place in any kingdom of glory; for them the conditions of hell remain (see D&C 76:38; 88:24, 32).
Evolution? We are ever evolving hopefully evolving into better people with a greater understanding of who we are and where we came from. That would be that we are literal descendants of a loving Heavenly Father.
The Trinity? Jesus is the literal son of God and is part of the Godhead as his son. He has a purpose as our Savior and is the mediator between us and the Father which is why we pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus Christ. He suffered on the cross and in the Garden for all the sins of the world and he will only take upon our sins if we give up our sins and change our ways and ask forgiveness forsaking all wrongdoings and vow to become better each day. We must live as his followers by becoming like him and we do this through baptism and partaking of the sacrament each week it is an ordinance of renewing our promises with the Lord.

Hell:
1. temporary place after death where one must go if one has unresolved sin they need to repent of.
2. Outer Darkness where Satan and his minions go after the final judgment.
3. place of our own making that we do NOT want to go to.
evolution:
Not.
Trinity: We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. First Article of Faith.
Jesus Himself said that the Father was greater than He.
Jesus Christ was the only BEGOTTEN Son of Heavenly Father, so that e would remain perfect so that He could be the Ultimate Perfect Sacrifice for our sins.

“I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. . . . When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” ( Joseph Smith—History 1:16–17).
