Common Questions About the Mormon Religion
Many people have questions about what the Mormons believe. Many people are surprised to learn that Mormons are Christians and that they hold very similar core beliefs to their own beliefs about the Savior and His Gospel. Mormons believe Christ’s original Church that He established in the New Testament has been restored in modern days, so while Mormons are Christian, they do not subscribe to Christian doctrines or beliefs that have changed since the New Testament times. Additionally, Mormons believe in Modern Revelation through living Prophets and Apostles, just as in the New Testament times, resulting in modern scripture and teachings revealed from God through a living Prophet to the people living on the earth today.
