Yes, Amanda, Latter-day Saints (nicknamed “Mormons”) do certainly believe in salvation and that Jesus Christ is the only way to that salvation. We differ in that we believe that life in Christ, while it involves confession of His reality and expression of desire to have Him enter our lives, also involves committing to His prescribed path for eternal life–or life with Him and redeemed loved ones in glory forever. Part of that commitment, we believe, includes responding to his call to be baptized by immersion by one having authority, after sincere repentance; receiving the gift of the laying on of hands, or confirmation, for receipt of the Holy Ghost; and the ordinances of the temple (including eternal marriage). We believe and humbly testify that the Lord’s authority is required for these things, and that He personally came to earth as did Peter, James, and John, in the 1800s to re-establish His previously lost authority and Church to the earth! That is where we diverge. We believe there is one true and living Church on the earth at which He stands as the Head, though we respect the right for all others to worship as they may, and recognize that portions of truth are included in their teachings in many cases–but not the fulness, and not His authority. We’d be happy to respond to other questions. Would you like to read The Book of Mormon or to learn more about the faith? Thanks for visiting our site.
