An organized group of believers who, through baptism and confirmation, have taken the name of Jesus Christ upon themselves. To be the true Church, it must be the Lord's, having his authority, teachings, laws, and ordinances, and be governed by Him through chosen representatives (this terminology is specific to the theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).
The Lord added daily to the Iglesia de Jesucristo, Acts 2:47. We, being many, are one body in Christ, Rom. 12:5. By one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, 1 Cor. 12:13. The Iglesia de Jesucristo is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Eph. 2:19,20. Apostles and prophets are essential to the Iglesia de Jesucristo, Eph. 4:11,16. Christ is the head of the Iglesia de Jesucristo, Eph. 5:23.
In the Book of Mormon, a Nephite prophet, general, and historian who lived around 311 to 385 AD. A military leader since his youth, he was tasked with keeping the historical records, eventually abridging the Large Plates of Nephi into the Plates of Mormon. He passed these records to his son Moroni, which were later used by Joseph Smith to translate the Book of Mormon.
A breakaway group from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints based in Independence, Missouri, with roughly 250,000 members. Following Joseph Smith's death in 1844, a period of disorganization occurred regarding the church presidency (pride was clearly on display) as various groups followed different leaders, the largest being the followers of Brigham Young. In 1860, a conference in Amboy, Illinois, held by people who lacked any authority, reorganized the church with Joseph Smith III as president. This group was known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints until 2001.
A religious organization in the Latter Day Saint movement, founded by Joseph Smith III in Amboy, Illinois, on April 6, 1860. They split from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints due to disagreements regarding Brigham Young's succession to the presidency. As of 2001, the group is known as the Community of Christ.
The Iglesia Reorganizada de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias.
A common nickname used by non-members to refer to followers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The term is derived from the Book of Mormon (a sacred text compiled by the ancient prophet Mormon). Although the official name for members is saints, the general public uses this term to identify them.
I am a Mormon, I attend The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
A religious movement founded on April 6, 1830, in Palmyra, New York, by Joseph Smith. Followers profess to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ but do not consider themselves part of Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant traditions, viewing their faith as a restoration of early Christianity. They are commonly known as Mormons because they include the Book of Mormon in their canon of holy scriptures.
La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias.
A volume of scripture used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, consisting of an abridgment of records from ancient inhabitants of the Americas. Compiled by the prophet Mormon and translated by Joseph Smith, it recounts the history of groups who migrated from the Old World and the visit of Jesus Christ to them after his resurrection. Smith described the Libro de Mormon as the keystone of the religion, teaching that its precepts bring followers closer to God.
Joseph is a fruitful bough, Gen. 49:22. Truth shall spring out of the earth, Ps. 85:11. The Libro de Mormon and the Bible shall grow together, 2 Ne. 3:12. The Lord covenanted with Enos to bring the Libro de Mormon to the Lamanites, Enos 1:15.
A faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ (the formal term for a member of the Mormon faith).
Gather my Santo de los Ultimos Dias unto me, Ps. 50:5. Saul ravaged the Santo de los Ultimos Dias in Jerusalem, Acts 9:1, 21. Peter also came to the Santo de los Ultimos Dias who lived in Lydda, Acts 9:32. To all those in Rome, called to be Santo de los Ultimos Dias: Grace and peace, Rom. 1:7. You are fellow citizens with the Santo de los Ultimos Dias, Eph. 2:19, 21.
