What Mormon missionairies will and will not tell you !

If you meet the necessary conditions (a sincere heart, real intent, and faith in Jesus) God will give you a revelation through some sort of subjective experience that confirms that everything they have told you is true. > This way of knowing something is true is supported by James 1:5 which says to ask God if you lack wisdom. > God has always spoken and will always speak through prophets, so we need a living prophet. > God built his church on the foundation of apostles and prophets (Ephesians 2:20) so the true church today should have modern day apostles as well. > Through special rituals (they call them ordinances) offered ONLY by the Mormon Church, families can be united (sealed) and expect to spend eternity together as a family unit.

Would love to know the music used early on in this video!
This is really cool! I have some ancestors from there. My ninth great grandpa Peter Shumway was born there in 1634!
Love
By their works, you shall know them. May the world remove the scales from the eyes and see!
