The answer to the question "Are Mormons Christian?" is a resounding YES!. I am a Mormon and like all other Mormons I believe in the same Jesus Christ that Lutherans, Penticostals, Baptists, Catholics, etc believe in. I believe in the Jesus Christ that was born 2010 years ago, assuming our calendar is correct. I believe that his father was God, his mother was Mary, his adopted father was Joseph. I believe that He was born in Bethlehem and grew up in Nazareth. At age 30 He began his ministry. He called 12 apostles, Peter, James, John, etc., went around doing good, performed many miracles, lived a perfect life, was betrayed by Judas, was crucified for the sins of the world, was ressurected on the 3rd day. He taught his gospel before and after his ressurection. I believe He will come again, this time, in glory.

So, as you can see, my dear non Mormon friends. We believe in the same Jesus Christ, the only one through which salvation can be had. Some of you have been taught that we are not Christians because we do not believe in the trinity in the same way you do. Please consider this; When Jesus was praying to his Father saying "not my will but thy will be done", or "into thy hands I commend my spirit" was he praying to himself? To me that would sound absurd! In the Bible there are many passages that refer to Jesus and the Father being one. Fortunately we also have a scripture in the Bible that explains what He meant when He said they were one. In John 17:21-22, again praying to his Father, He asks that his disciples be one with him "as" He is with the Father. Clearly his disciples could not be one with him in person therefore when He refers to him and the Father being one He obviously means "in purpose" not in person. God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are indeed one, in purpose, not in person. Their purpose is to bring to pass the ressurection and eternal life of man.

As Mormons we are blessed to have more information about our Savior Jesus Christ than what is contained in the Bible. It's called "The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ". I encourage you to read it with an open mind and then ask God himself in the name of Jesus Christ if it's true. Only then will you know for sure because the Holy Ghost will reveal it to your mind and heart in such a powerful way that you will know it for yourself without the need to accept anybody else's opinion on it. As I studied about the Church at the age of 24 I became very impressed and convinced of its truthfullness because of how much sense it made. But being "convinced" is not nearly as powerful as being "converted". That came when I read The Book of Mormon as put it's promise to the test.

The Church does not want this information to be a secret. That is why they are sending about 50 thousand missionaries throughout the world each year, to spread this information. These 50,000 go for 2 years at their own expense (talk about putting your money where your mouth is, I've always been very impressed with that, it speaks volumes about their sincerity). Just one last word in case you're still scared to check this out for yourself; we also believe and teach from the Bible and regard it very highly. We just happen to have additional scripture which makes things in the Bible much more understandable. I always use this example; a person who does not see well, never realizes how much they don't see until they put on glasses. Then they say "oh, I can see leaves on that tree, whereas before I could only see a mass of green".

I testify to you that I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true and authorised kingdom of God in these last days and that it's here to prepare a people for Jesus Christ's glorious second coming. My life has been richly blessed by this knowlege for the last 34 years. It was the best decision I ever made. I hope that you decide to get "your own set of glasses" and be blessed with all the blessings that Our Father in Heaven has in store for you. I leave this testimony with you, in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
