- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
- often informally known as the LDS Church
- or the Mormon Church,
- is a nontrinitarian,
- Christian
- restorationist
- church
- that is the restored original church
- founded by Jesus Christ
- built upon a foundation of living apostles,
- prophets, seers, and revelators,
- Christ being the Chief cornerstone, and
- Our Heavenly Father being the Chief capstone.
- The Father has a glorified resurrected body
- of flesh and bones
- as tangible as man’s,
- the Son also.
- The Holy Ghost is a man with a spirit body
- who bears witness of the Father and the Son.
- The Father and the Son appeared to The Prophet Joseph Smith
- and commissioned him as the Great Prophet of the Restoration
- through whom was revealed the Book of Mormon and
- sacred revelations, keys, covenants and authorities,
- including priesthood power to baptize by immersion,
- to lay on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost,
- to confer the priesthood authority on worthy men,
- to seal husband and wife and children together for eternity,
- providing vicarious baptism and other sacred ordinances
- for ancestors,
- thus restoring the original Church of Jesus Christ.
- I invite you to read The Book of Mormon,
- which is a second witness that Jesus is the Christ,
- and physical and spiritual proof Joseph Smith was
- the great Prophet as claimed.
- I invite you to contact the Church and study the gospel of Christ
- such that you have faith in Christ,
- repent of your sins and are baptized by one having proper priesthood.
- A free copy of the Book of Mormon is available at www.churchofjesuschrist.org under the heading scriptures.
- You can contact the Church
- and arrange for two missionaries
- to teach you and help you attend Church and be baptized
- by calling 1-801-240-1000.
- We honor and love you.
- Please let me Richard Linford know when you are baptized
- at r.linford@comcast.net.
