The
Articles of Faith
of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
1)
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and
in the Holy Ghost.
2) We believe that men will be
punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3) We believe that through the Atonement
of Jesus Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and
ordinances of the Gospel.
4) 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.
5) We believe that a man must be
called by God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands, by those who
are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances
thereof.
6) We believe in the same organization
that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors,
teachers, evangelists, etc.
7) We believe in the gift of tongues,
prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc.
8) We believe the Bible to be the
word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book
of Mormon to be the word of God.
9) We believe all that God has
revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet
reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10) We believe in the literal gathering
of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New
Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will
reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and
receive its paradisiacal glory.
11) We claim the privilege of worshiping
the Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow
all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, and what they
may.
12) We believe in being subject
to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and
sustaining the law.
13) We believe in being honest,
true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed,
we may say we follow the admonition of Paul--- We believe all things, we
hope all things, we have endured many things, we hope to be able to endure
all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or
praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
