5 Things Mormons Believe That Other Christians Do Not

Today, Justin, David and Kwaku discuss five things that Mormons believe that other Christians do not! Do you agree that these beliefs are exclusive to Mormons? Throughout this video we explore topics like the necessity for additional scripture, baptism by immersion, the structure of the afterlife and much more.

David begins by clarifying that, according to Mormon doctrine, prophets are still part of God’s church today. Kwaku clarifies by saying that Jesus Christ is still the leader of the church, as he was in biblical times, but that he works through his prophets to guide us. To prove his point, he quotes Mark 13:22 and points out that true prophets will come to point us towards the true Christ just like false prophets will come to lead us towards false Christs. There are false prophets today just like there were back then. Do you think Prophets are necessary? How can we tell if a prophet is a false prophet?

Kwaku continues by touching on the fact that Mormons believe in another testament of Christ and consider it scripture like the bible. He shares John 10: 15 – 16 explaining that it does not make sense that god would only communicate with only the people in Israel. This is quickly followed by the fact the Mormons believe that families can be eternal and will still be meaningful after this life. David shares that, even in this life, normal activities are much more meaningful with his family.

Do you believe that there is more than just heaven and hell? Justin poses the issue of thinking that there are only good and bad people. This is reflected in the Mormon belief of several “kingdoms” in which you can be after this life.

Lastly, Mormons believe that baptism must be done in the same way Christ was baptized. Do you think the method of Baptism is important?

I’m here because a colleague is a Mormon and just curious about her faith. She’s very religious and always helpful, very hardworking person. I admire her faith.

Catholic here! Some gentlemen I met at Safeway sent me to this channel. Looking forward to learning more about the LDS church! 😊

[Ksee]

I often laugh when Protestants and Catholics say they don't believe prophet's are called anymore nor will they be ever again. So I ask them "do you believe in the book of revelations?" They say "yes" so I say "there's a verse that says in the last days two prophets will be killed in Jerusalem, and two days later they will be resurrected. You believe that?" They say "yes" so I ask "how is that verse supposed to come to pass if God doesn't call more prophet's in these last days?"

Finally a “five things about Mormons” video that isn’t directly making fun of our religion.

[-ExperienceWithMe-]

Im only here because Mormons came to my door step and was curious what they believe

[robertjr]

I came across the book of mormon a few days ago. I've never been so awe struck... I am a 31 yr old sinner. I know this is where I was always meant to find...

[ArielaGonzales]

Here because my grandma is Mormon and honestly I don’t agree with this religion at all!

[ThomasStewartDev]

Would actually love a response to this if you have the time!
You knew ppl would comment about Matthew 22:30 "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage".
But y'all need to check the context of that passage. It's literally about people who got married in this life (specifically one gal that married 7 different guys). So when asked whose wife she would be in heaven, Jesus replied that there will be no marriage in heaven - even if it started in this life.

We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Thank you for this video! It's complicated, because I honestly don't know what religion I am. I'm in detox from a religion, but my soul still wants more. I am exploring a lot of religions, and your channel is very comprehensive. I don't know if it's for me, but I so appreciate it!!!

[KatTremblay]

I'm a Non-Denominational believer in Jesus Christ and found your video to be very educating. Thank you, for that information.

[SinSavior]

You don’t believe in Jesus Christ if you believe Joseph Smith was a prophet from Missouri I’m sorry. May god show mercy on you young man and bring you to the real god

[marshallmatters]

You seem happy and it’s clear you stand for something. Good for you most people stand for nothing but themselves. Moving to Provo in a month.

[yeetyyyeeet]

Your goldfish is screaming at you to get them a bigger tank.

[RRAA]

Matthew 22:30 - For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

My husband and I once had a sit down discussion with several evangelical neighbors of ours two of whom were about to get married and they asked to come over and talk about the different tenants of our practices. And for the most part it was a pretty calm discussion pretty non-dramatic, until we got to the question of being married for time and all eternity. I was really shocked and kind of speechless because all of these evangelicals agreed that they did not want to be with their families for all eternity, even been engaged couple said this, that they only want to sit before God and worship him and sing his praise forever. And I just don’t understand how the notion of having my family my secret children and husband with me forever how could that notion be offensive to anyone? Anyone who is experienced the loss of a child or another close member of their family knows the immense trauma of the notion that they might never see them again. It was this doctrine of eternal families that really appealed to my husband who grew up in the orthodox Russian religion. For him it really aligned with Christ gospel taught in the Bible. Don’t forget heavenly father wants us to call him father and calls us joint heirs, his sons and daughters. God loves families and wants them to be together

An editorial about Mormons: Paul Allen
Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft along with Bill Gates, wrote the following editorial in a newspaper in Santa Clarita, California, USA. USA:

I've heard and seen enough! I've lived in the west for my whole life. I worked around them, they worked for me and me for them. When I was younger, I had a relationship with one of its members. When I got married, they came to my wedding. Now I have my own daughters and some of their boys are boyfriends with my daughters. I would feel privileged if one of them became my son-in-law. I'm talking about Mormons. They're some of the most honest and hardworking people I've ever met. They are spiritual, probably more than most religious people I have found. They study the Bible and teach like no other Christian church does. They serve in their religion without receiving salary on all possible charges. They are leaders, teachers, counselors, bishops or music directors and do not receive a penny for the hours of dedication and work. Mormons have a secular ministry - a fact that is not of general knowledge. I've heard many times messages from the pulpit of other religions talking bad about them and they say they're not Christians, and they don't go to heaven. I decided recently to attend one of their religious services near my house to see for myself. What a surprise! What I heard and saw was just the opposite of what the religious ministers of the time told me. I found a very simple service, without fanfare. I have found a people with great sense of humor and a well balanced spiritual side. There was no high volume music. Just a simple service, with several members giving themselves short speeches. They urge their young people to be morally clean and live a good life. They teach the gospel of Christ for example. His church is officially called " the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints." when I read his " book of Mormon " I was surprised to also find just the opposite of what they told me I was going to find. Do you know of any cult that has an equal wellness system in this country? They have farms, canning factories and cattle ranches to help those in need. The Mormon church has donated millions of dollars to help rebuild the Baptist churches that were burned some years ago. Tons of medical supplies donated to the countries affected by earthquakes. Do you know any cult that urges its members to comply with the law, pay their taxes, serve in the army if asked and be a good Christian, living high moral values?
Did you know that hundreds of thousands of young Mormons rise from bed before time to go to school, to attend religious training classes? They are hired by the FBI, the state department and the police department inside because they are reliable. They are taught not to drink or use drugs. They are in the secret service - they are the ones who protect the president. They serve in high leadership positions of both parties in Congress and Senate and have been governors of several states other than Utah. They serve with distinction and honor. If you have mormons who live close, you will probably find that they are your best friends and neighbors. They are Christians who try to live what they preach. They are not perfect and are the first to admit it. You will also be surprised. When I moved here years ago there were five Mormon chapels in Santa Clarita now there are fifteen. They have to be doing something right.
Paul Allen, Santa Clarita, California

"Heaven isn't heaven if your family isn't there"? That sounds like an appeal to emotion and nothing else. I'm sure some Mormon families have children who have left the religion, I hope that doesn't make the parent's heaven any less than heaven.

[Kimnumber]

And I that in 1978 god changed his mind about black people..

[elizabethvosahlik]

I don’t believe you go to heaven because you’re good I believe you go to heaven because God is good we could never be worthy of his love and forgiveness, but he gives it to us because he’s awesome! While I can see where you’re coming from on the Book of Mormon I think that when God was speaking to Israel, he wasn’t speaking to the place, he was speaking to Christians as a whole, and his word is all we need it will never expire, or loose it’s power:) Thank you so much for making this video!
