I do believe after the Second Coming, there will be many religions and beliefs left in the world. What it will be comprised of is those, to include our own church, individuals who do live already live the Terrestrial laws. Eventually, we will all surrender to the will of the Lord to either become as one belief and one church or be left outside. We shall become known as the followers of Christ’s.
I cannot understand why a few others in this world would deny the Latter-day Saints the privilege of not being called Christians, when in-fact, by seeing the name of the church was called after Him and our faith is centered on our Savior [Jesus Christ].
Elder Porter stated in a heavy handed discussion that Mormons are not Christians, “Are Mormons Christian? By self-definition and self-identity, unquestionably so. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints affirms that it is a Christian-faith denomination, a body of believers who worship Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and who witness that salvation is possible only by his atoning blood and grace. By the simple dictionary definition of a Christian as one who believes in or worships Jesus Christ, the case is compelling. To the title Christian a critic of Mormonism may add any modifiers he deems appropriate—unorthodox, heretical, non-Nicene, different—but blanket assertions that we are not Christian are a poor substitute for informed argument and dialogue.”
I do know without any doubt or faith, the FATHER, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are separate and living beings. As I do know that Joseph did indeed witnessed the Godhead in person and his questions were answered. There is but one truth…there is but one church…in the end that will be the driving force of the world to come. I hope and pray, we will all be part of that wonderful and joyous upcoming event.
I am anxious for that coming day, I will fall at the feet of my Savior and weep with deep gratitude for my life, for His atoning sacrifice, for His love. As I also am anxious to be with my Heavenly Parents, Joseph Smith, and others I failed to mention that has helped me and my family in our probation. As I wait for that day, when I can be crowned with my beloved mortal and eternal partner, with our elder brother for ever.
