Left Mormonism about a year ago, Me along with my beautiful wife and our two little girls. We were raised in one of the polygamy groups but God in his sovereign kindness reached us with the truth of his word and the true gospel. Our eyes were opened to the lies of Mormonism and its foundation. It was not easy, but I thank God for what he has done. I pray that many souls that watch this video will come to know the truth. Thank you Jesus
I have known some nice Mormons...when they find out your Christian, game over!....the spirit in me bounced off their spirit like a superball!......they feign righteousness (shows as hubris) but underneath many, they will turn on you like a snake!
Myself, from Catholicism to Agnosticism to born again Christian.
@@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871Praise God! No one is like our God ☝️
Yes, in name of Jesus time is short. It’s amazing to me how it all accelerating so fast, the evil spirits in this day, for returning, like they were in ancient Israel, They were even sacrificing their babies to an idol not all of them. I don’t think I’m a lot.
Amen!
I was a Mormon for 7 years, but The merciful God took me out of there!
Same here! God bless you 🙏❤🎉
Very nice that you give Him the glory!
I had family that was raised up in the LDS, as you know it's roots are masonic occult and kabbalah magic.... I'm glad you found God in spirit and truth ❤
Well all I can say is enjoy hell with the outer darkness devil in the vid
What surprises me is that you have to sign a contract and a letter of resignation to get out?
My husband came out of Mormonism to salvation in Jesus. Now we are praying for his family members. Please agree in prayer with us.
United with you in prayer as of right now. 😭🙏🏼
Prayers
Amen!
Same here 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your son has the devil in him. That is horrible. Just sickening.
Im glad I am saved from LDS. Now covered by the blood of my Jesus . Praise God. . 🙏🙏
Cannibalism isn't something promote by Christ. Rethink this blood sacrifice thing you were taught 🙏
My husband and I were newly married five years ago when two Mormon missionary sisters knocked on our door. Despite not knowing much about their faith, we were firm in our belief in Jesus Christ, so we invited them in. I didn't know much about their practices, except that they didn't consume caffeine. Unfortunately, my husband offered them coffee right away, but I quickly suggested hot chocolate or lemonade instead.
Looking back, we realized how amazing the work of the Holy Spirit was. Whenever they said something Christ-like, the Holy Spirit would bring scripture to our minds to counter their points. We did this lovingly and respectfully, so they continued to come back for many weeks and months. They even brought more senior members with them, until eventually the sisters were asked by to stop coming to our home by their leadership. One of them was in awe at our sharing of the Gospel and often even asked that we pray for her. There was one point that she said she had never considered and that she'd pray about it. I can't remember what the specific point was, but I pray that sister Anderson, will one day reflect on the seeds we planted and that God will open her eyes to the true revelation of Jesus Christ. I pray for her often and believe that we plant the seeds, and God brings the increase.
Amen!
Thank you for the name --will be praying for her!!
God will continue to pursue her, I truly believe that- he never gives up🙏🏻
@@DeborahWilcox-d4w yes amen!
Well done, you planted alot of seeds and fertilized them. Someone else will do the harvest!
I was talking to a friend last night who left the LDS church when she was an adult. I asked her how she got out. She said that she questioned polygamy as a teen so that sparked her doubt. Then she said she started reading a Bible that wasn’t from the LDS church. God is so good to save!
Amen!
Wrong!
That what Satan does , create different fake religion with their books like Quran, Mormon , Jehovah witnesses books , Hindus and you named , anything to get you out of salvation ? Looked how Satan created Protestant Reformation and divided Catholic church at 1500 and created thousands man-made religions and we know that JESUS established only one Church and promise his church will never be destroyed and at these days many people with dark spirit constantly spitting and attacking Catholic church ? You can spit on catholic people , but never spit or attack on more than 2000 years old GOD established Catholic church ?
Yes God Is good. 🙏 Jesus paid it all, all to Him I own, sin has left a crimson stain He washed me white as snow! Hallelujah!
Thanks be to God
Mormonism made a corporate decision to make their faith more “mainstream” 30 years ago.
I remember(distinctly) that ALL my Mormon friends from the 50’s and onwards, ALWAYS said that the Book of Mormon, took precedence over The Bible,and as a result, Sola Scriptura, denominations, such as mine, regarded them as a cult.
When that distinguishing factor was “lost” and/or delayed, Mormonism grew rapidly with their “new Jesus” and “family friendly” gospel.
I’m so grateful, dear Brother, that The Lord lead you out of the darkness and into HiS glorious light.
I LOVED listening to your testimony-you are an engaging speaker and truly gifted by The Holy Spirit to speak and share.
STAY HUMBLE AND PREACH THE TRUTH.
✝️✝️✝️-🙏🏻
Thank you for your testimony sir..my sister and her husband left the church after 22 years..praise Jesus they saw the light
I've been a Born Again Christian for decades, and his testimony is absolutely one of the most powerful ones that I've heard to date.. God bless and protect you and your family always, in Jesus mighty name... Amen.
Be kind to mormons when they come see you. Love them and teach with grace.
So true, he said it well. They’re zealous without knowledge. They’re deceived 😢
No no no
Rebuke the wolves !
And NEVER suffer a witch to live !
Satan masquerades as an Angel of light
Anyone who judges is a joke 😅
GGWO look it up amen
Yes, they think they have the truth, so be very loving, but we must know and understand Gods word to be able to point them in the right direction
As an Ex mormon member for 21 years of my young life, I appreciate this testimony. Praise God for the deliverance from the hands of that religion!
Cult
@@SoldierAndrew tluC
Cult
Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, and the Mormons, all have these creepy cult-like rituals to build this terrible "us against them" platform to grab the young unsuspecting prey.
So much of it all goes back to a single volcano in 1815 where the cults leveraged a end of the world nuclear-winter episode, to grab the uneducated.

@@JRod979what is that?
I have Mormons in my family. My mother's brother's wife converted from Catholicism to being a Mormon during my late childhood years. Their son, T, was a year older than me. We were very close friends. After a few years of my aunt being in this "religion", they sent my cousin T off to a Fresno Mormon camp.. not sure exactly what it was, but I knew he was now out of my life for two years, for I wasn't allowed to speak with him. The day he was coming back, I was so excited to see him; except when he finally arrived to my grandmothers house, where I was anxiously waiting to give him a big hug, he stepped into the kitchen, and I could see his brain had been completely gutted-out. He spoke in a monotoned voice, very low and strange, and I was horrified. Evil is what it is. They ruined my beautiful friend and family member.
Just keep praying for him and his family! Nothing is impossible with GOD!
I was born into mormonism. At forty years old, I was the gospel doctrine teacher in the adult sunday school. One Sunday, I heard the voice of the Lord tell me, "You are finished here."
I went home and prayed about it.
I called the bishop and resigned my position and never went back. For 20 years, I prayed to the Lord. "What would you have me do," Every day. My answer came back the same. "Be still."
The doctrine of works was such a deep part of my life. It kept me stuck. The Lord was very patient with me. Then, one day, I asked the question again what should I be doing? The Lord answered. "I want you to love others the way I love you." It sounded simple enough, but loving the fallen race of Adam is the tallest order I could have been given. Now, when I pray, I ask the Lord how I can deliver his love to those I will meet that day. After ten years it is getting easier. Jesus is God. God became man and died as a man for my sins for my sake. Jesus was raised from the dead 3 days later, having conquered death and sin.
Those who accept this simple testimony become sons and daughters of God. Man does not become God. God desires relationship, not religion.
Amen
Awesome testimony. I just recently left the Mormon church after 40 years and similar to what this man explained it was full of kind good people and my love for Jesus was real, but I had no idea of how blind I was to the biblical Jesus who offers biblical Grace, I had no idea what I was missing because even though I read the Bible often I was so indoctrinated that Grace was only activated through my works that it took a lot for me to finally see that I had been given a false understanding of Grace and a much more limited Jesus. I have to say it has been so hard trying to integrate into a community, the Mormon communities I was in were ultra kinda and supportive, and it has been so hard trying to find anything similar in the Christian churches we have attended over the past few years. I think part of that is because the general Christian churches have more focus on their individual relationships with Christ whereas Mormons have a more limited version of that relationship so they focus way more on their human relationships. Anyway, it has been hard and I am still trying to allow God to teach me who He really is and how Grace really works and trying to undue so many decades of conditioning and community.
Wow praise God for showing you who Jesus really is, welcome to the family ❤️🙏🏻✝️ keep reading the Bible and listen to sound doctrine thats biblical, be born again and filled with the Holy Spirit and worship Jesus and Father. Bless you brother ❤️
Wow, God bless you and keep you. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you into all truth brother/sister in Christ✝️🙏🏼
Please pray for a man named Chet I met months ago who was raised Mormon and stayed in the church for decades as well. He currently does not attend any church though he believes in God but he is uncertain what to believe about Jesus and salvation. He told me he was baptized 60 times and each time he felt like a spirit got inside of him. I was able to share the gospel with him Resurrection Sunday this year and he said he would begin reading his Bible again. As someone who was in the Mormon Church you understand the deception and the struggle to know the real Jesus. Please pray for him.
Praise Jesus. Perhaps the Lord will use you to spread the true gospel in this community. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

I left mormanism after 40 years...I found myself and I pray people find they're way out and find happiness the cross is real! Jesus!!
Ask a Mormon, is Jesus Christ inside you? 2nd Corinthians 13:5
*Mormonism
Amen
Their, they’re
I became Mormon when I was a teenager. I was married in the Logan Temple to a man who was 6 years older than I was. Because my parents weren't Mormon, they couldn't see me married. It hurt them deeply. I was married three years and we were both in the Airforce at the time. We both ended up in Okinawa in 1976 and that is when I left him. He was violent and would break all my things that my mother gave me for gifts. He would shove me and would not give me any money so I could replace my uniforms. His reasoning was, I chose to work, I could buy my own uniforms. This would have been ok but he took all the money, I didn't even get an allowance. I took it upon myself to go to two Bishops to try to get help to save the marriage. Both of them told me it was my fault and that I shouldn't work. They refused to talk with him. They refused to even counsel us. When we divorced, he took everything and left me with a 900.00 dollar bill. He took all the savings and all the stored wedding gifts at his parents house in Utah. My parents gave me an onyx chess set they got in Mexico and he took that too. When my tour was over, I was sent to Beal AFB in California where I met with the church officials who promptly excommunicated me. In August of 1984 in a little Baptist Church just outside of the Alconbury England AB gate, I gave my heart to the true Jesus! My life completely changed and I have been saved since then.
God bless you. Thanks for sharing this amazing story.
You're never alone. Thank you for your bravery. Jesus loves you, his Mercy and grace surpasses any understanding. I pray for the Peace of God and blessings over your life. And I pray that the Lord can comfort you, and give you happiness, and fulfillment. Just wanna encourage you to know the Lord will make a way where there's seems to be no way. Even though its hard, I went thru a similar experience. I was traumatized. Is forgiveness. When you release that burden that you carry, God's peace will be upon you. You'll feel that peace.. like you can finally breathe again.
🙌🏻Thank God, you've been saved and rescued. Painful past, but God knows how to redeem, restore, and turn our sorrow into joy. ❤
💔💔💔breaks my heart reading this!
I was raised a Mormon from 2 years old and believed the lie that all I was good for was marriage and motherhood. I married barely 18yo a month before high school graduation. He, too, was abusive, and I took my baby back home after 1 yr 5 months 12 days of he'll.
The path of my life was altered from that lie.
While sitting in the back of the church with my 5 yo daughter, I saw the lie, and being austracized, and got up and walked out.
Years later I talked with a very kind bishop and it strangely took the sting away.
My family are still Mormon, and I'm not tolerated, but not accepted.
My beautiful daughter and grandkids are my treasure. They know the real loving Abba Father and to go to Him, not a church.
For all this, I am thankful to have learned and grown even in this. He is my friend and I am His.
Mormonism is a cult I was a J.W. for six years, your testimony reminds me of what I went through. Thank you for sharing it.

What brought you out? I have family in JW.
@@susanawright7757 It was progressive, after 1975 when they predicted Armagedon was supposed to come, and it didn't. I was brought books from Christians I worked with about previous false prophecies and corruption at Bethel the headquarters of the watchtower. The name of the book was "Kingdom of the cults" When you start questioning the organization, they begin to look at you suspiciously, you really can't doubt what the organization is teaching. One night at a meeting my wife began to read the bible alone and she read the part where Paul said he was caught up to the third heaven "Paradise". When I told my brother-in-law who was an elder, he gave me the caned interpretation in there then Aid book. At another meeting I could see that their minds were being controlled. I was reminded of Jonestown back in the late seventies. And I thought if the society told me to do the same would I do it. In 1980 I left, and it was very difficult, FastForward in 1983 I met a former J.W. who in the Watchtower for 15 yrs, we talked scripture concerning the divinity of Jesus Christ that night I received Him as God and Savior and was Born again, hope this was of some help. God Bless
What does Jesus Christ say he is in the Scriptures? He was not created. He is the Creator.
@@luvpamelanewton Col 1:16 "All things were created by Him and for Him, He is before all things whether things visible and invisibles, whether thrones or dominions, principalities or powers He is before all thing and by Him all things consist and are held together" Not word for word read it
Ex mormon here . Was in the religion for about 10 years . I was lukewarm Christian . Never cared to open the Bible and read for my self . I stared reading the Bible about 3 years ago and learned that the Mormon book was different than the Bible . Mormons have a different Jesus !!!
1)They belief that Jesus is a created being and work his way to godhood
2) Jesus is the brother of Lucifer
3) we can become gods as well in the afterlife
4) save by grace after all you can do
And so much more ………..
Left the religion about 3 years ago
Thank you! When I run into Mormons, I do bring this up. They are always surprised that I know some of their doctrines and even deny having another Jesus especially the brother of Lucifer part. I am an ex new ager where the core teaching is that you are gods. All of it leads back to the old lie of the serpent in Genesis 3 and the book of knowledge. The enemy is crafty but not creative!
Please seek real living lord jesus- he’s real!!!
It sounds like crazy town
Yes, Mormanism _is_ just like Islam for white people. It even originally had the same racist concepts.
Spectacular!!!!!
Former Mormon here, left this dangerous fraudulent CULT & totally repented to God for being in that cult. Ran to the real God of the Bible and so happy I found the truth,.. seek the God of the Bible and you will find him, the real God❤🙏
Praise God for your salvation/!l🙏✝️🔥🕊️
Amen ! He's Amazing!!
What are the fruits in your life now? Jesus unequivocally said "by their fruits you will know them.."
Just curious..
I am out of here he begs to much on him self not giving praise to Jesus he wants our money not mei feel he is us to send him money. Not me I pay my ties to the Church I go to that talks a.bout Jesus he is the only door to get us to Salvation amem❤😊👍🙏😁👍
What if Jesus becomes a savior when we come to our senses, and realize, for instance, that he walked on the land like everyone else, not on the water.
Does that make sense?
Maybe someday it will.
The real Jesus was a treat to occult-centered normative belief systems - then as now.
The real Jesus was a threat to the prevailing order and it's narratives, then as now.
In fact, you could even call the real Jesus an anti-Christ.
The book of Revelation is a standing threat against the REVELATION of occult supremacy in religious texts.
Perspective on this becomes easier when you ...come to your senses, and realize the devil doesn't exist, the story of Satan is a distraction and Jesus was written into the New Testament as a mascot for human sacrifice. In the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith took this last principle and amplified it ad-absurdum.
"Sacred Stone" - the Mormon church is built on ambiguity and depends on the blindness of it's congregation for it's ongoing success. One side takes as the other gives.
'Religion' itself is a real problem.
Thanks for sharing.
@4mandysake, Even if you are indifferent to religion, the world is in a constant battle between the creator God, and the fallen ones (False gods) that are considered the rulers of this earth. The gods of Babilon, Egypt, the Mayans, or the American ruler's and their secret societies (Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bone, Freemasons, etc...), and many others are inherently of the same source. It is in these entities nature to be a problem. The real question is a problem to whom? If one is looking for the creator God, he or she has to sort through all kinds of counterfeits before he or she could understand the true creator God. This could be life long journey. It might even take some a few generations.
I left the mormon church after 33 years. Now a born-again christian and Jesus is my best friend 🧡
I left the JW’s after 40 years. Amazing how similar they are despite different doctrines. This testimony blessed me and I am thankful for the bravery shown here.
I’m glad the family came out together, as my case I came out alone and the family abandoned me.
My faith is that Jesus does all things for good and the ending is going to be amazing.
Thanks to all involved in this testimony, you are strengthening our faith out here. May Jesus bless you. 🙏
@K_e_n_...I hope your are sharing your testimony about the false religion of Jehovah's Witness (JW) like Michael in this video. You can't imagine how many people's souls you'd be saving.❤
@@tnewz411aw thanks, yes I am speaking to people I meet locally. You can’t imagine the damage this organization has done to my marriage and family. So many families have been hurt, there has been suicides, all in the power of the deceptive religious spirit.
I believe Jesus is pulling many out in these last days. All the best to you.
I hope you’ll get a platform like this to share the details. I got so much more out of this personal testimony than from learning how to defend the Christian faith from Christian apologists.
I noticed that too, they are similar
ua-cam.com/video/FghSUttp6Lc/v-deo.htmlsi=y1vc2R3RIiPANsTD
I have the understanding they are similar because they are set up to encourage cult behavior, and I wonder if you think so or not for a better understanding.
For 50 years, like this man said, I never had peace.... 50 years in the Mormon church feeling unworthy. that I never measured up. wondering if God loved me. I've been born again for 1 year and every day now I feel God's unconditional love every day. The day the Lord spoke to my heart and told me is not by my works I'm saved, at that very moment, I felt life begun then, it was a very real moment unbelievable moment in my life. 50 years as a lost sheep but no more.
💯🎉❤️🙏
Praise God!!
I know the feeling of never measuring up.
Same feeling that I felt in the RC church, one can never do enough or donate enough. Glad I’m out of there.
PRAISE THE LORD🙏❤️😘
Wonderful testimony! I left 20 years ago and was saved in 2020! Praise Jesus! He is so good! ❤
Many people will come to believe in Jesus and have faith in Him through this testimony. Glory to God!
I agree with everything this man said. 27 years a convert to Mormonism, temple recommend holder, endowed, temple marriage, judged myself to be lukewarm, repented, asked Jesus to change me and make me hot. I started waking up at 3:30 praying, reading the scriptures, and I became born again. My eyes were open to the truth and I saw how much of Mormon doctrine was contrary to the Bible. I left to have a personal relationship with Jesus. My only regret is that I didn’t know this 40 years ago.
Regret no more - God's timing is perfect and your Mormon background is just part of your redemption story! I'm sure the Lord can now use you to be a credible witness to other LDS members whom the Holy Spirit is dealing with. March onward - God can "restore the years the locusts have taken" and bless you greatly for His Kingdom.
@@KingsDaughter1957Amen!
Wolf in sheep's clothing, while you were a Mormon. Now you're a born-again, Luke-warm, Wolf in Sheep's clothing.
I agree. 🎉❤ 2 u on your jorney.
It's never too late! You now can use your testimony to help others see the Truth!
This testimony is NEEDED!!
Psalm 91:16
Thank you so much for Michael's testimonial. (my son's name, Michael) At age 15 (I am 58), my mother met the Church of Jesus Christ of the Later Days Saints. In my Ecuadorian culture, we do not question our parents at all! :( -I was "forced" to attend church with our mom every Sunday and a few times during the week. I remember being in church without food from 8 a.m. to 5 - 6 p.m. My mother had many duties in the church, and I was hungry, just waiting in the lobbies for her. At a young age, I didn't understand why church members had to constantly say, "I know this is the Church of Jesus Christ, the only church." It was like trying to convince themselves of it. I never felt the presence of God in church, but I was intrigued by why the church had so many "secrets" secrets that no one could share. My mother had to qualify to go to the temple and talk to God, and even when she did, she couldn't tell us what she saw there; it was "top secret," or she could lose her "position" in the church. When I turned 19, I went to college and later became a mom, and I never went to church with her again. Unfortunately, I have family members that I care about a lot who still live their lives under this cult-my view: God is everywhere; call his name, and he will be there with you. God is Love, and he cares for us. Whether in the Mormon church, cooking, or walking, if we call his name, he is there for us. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! ~Thank you to Michael for sharing your story with us. Thank you, and may God Bless you for exposing the truth. I attend a Christian church that only discusses our God, Jesus Christ, the ONE. 🙏🙏🙏
Boy what a revealing and very touching testimony. Bless you Brother❤️
I was a super active Mormon from age 17 to 63. Many of the same church callings as Mike. I sat on many church disciplinary councils over the years and felt they were so barbaric in nature. I often reflected as I sat in those meetings about the love of Jesus and how he demonstrated love and compassion to sinners. When I finally decided to search for truth within Mormonism it only took six months to know that it was false. They are wonderful people , as am I but being good and wonderful as a church blinds their true identity as a church. If there are any Mormons reading my testimony and listening to Mine , please let God into your heart and get out of the cult. God bless y’all
💯
Thank you. Blessings on your journey.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I sat in on a missionary lesson with a young man learning the gospel last night. The Spirit of God testified with such bold strength that Joseph Smith was called as a prophet of God. He was and is a prophet of God.
I do not have a testimony of polygamy, but that is not a practice of The Church of Jesus Christ at this time, and it is not asked of me. However, I can see a purpose to build up a righteous generation quickly as it was used in Joseph’s time or Abraham’s time, but for the sake of argument, let’s in theory agree that polygamy is not of God and it’s a sin. A sin would not prevent Joseph Smith from being called of God or restoring the Church or translating the plates of The Book of Mormon. Adam transgressed, Noah got drunk, Lot slept with his daughters, Abraham lied and said his wife was his sister, David committed adultery and killed a man, Moses killed a man, Peter had plenty of issues and denied Christ three times. The Church of God has been led by imperfect men since the beginning of time. Jesus Christ is the only sinless man. The restoration of God’s church is upon the earth and mankind will get closer to God by living the gospel of Jesus Christ and making sacred covenants and through priesthood ordinances of baptism and temple work than by any other means on this earth.
The Spirit of God testifies of Joseph Smith being called of God as a prophet to restore His Kingdom to the earth and it is a permanent and eternal fact. It is a fact that can be tested and witnessed by those with a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Please repent of your sins, we all sin daily and we need the atonement of Jesus Christ and through prayer with our Father in Heaven and the power and influence of the Holy Ghost that will come to those seeking in faith, and you will be blessing your ancestors by the work you will be doing for them in the temples of our Lord.
@@susandixon3790 - I was where you are until 2019. All that you testified of I believed. It isn’t the sins of men or their faults that led me away from the LDS faith. Mormonism says “We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly”. Paul preached that we are saved by grace and not by works. When we speak of someone’s works it is a form of boasting. Grace is a gift therefore it cannot be earned. The Book of Mormon says we are saved by grace too. The difference is when Joseph smith wrote the Book of Mormon he added “after all we can do”. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that he gave His only son that whosoever believes in him will have life eternal. The JS translation of the Bible was completed before he died. That being the case he never changed the part about Grace. There are many other things he didn’t change either. I don’t want to get into a strong debate about what your feelings tell you. The scriptures say that the heart can deceive you. The problem with Mormonism is you can pretty much back up Anything you want with scripture since you’re using not only the Bible, but the book of Mormon, the doctrine and covenants, and the pearl of great price. The book of Abraham, of course wasn’t a translation as the church was teaching, and had nothing to do with Abraham or doctrine. When you stick with the holy Bible and don’t bring in Mormon, literature, or Mormon scripture, you’ll come to learn who Jesus is and how to receive salvation. Salvation doesn’t come through baptism after someone dies, or excepting a gospel in another life. Paul even warned that if we or anybody else comes and teaches any other gospel than what we preached let them be a cursed. I did that for many years until the Holy Spirit taught me the truth. It wasn’t a warm, fuzzy, feeling that Mormons talk about. It was simply a gentle movement out of Mormonism and into Christianity and a relationship with Jesus Christ . I hope you are willing to listen to the gospel of Jesus Christ and leave the falsehood of Mormonism. I encourage you to repent of the false teachings you believe and give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ God bless you in this journey.
There are many many cults in this world. Try reading , “ Kingdom of the cults” by David Otis Fuller. It will also help you to distinguish the difference between cults and true Christianity. This was a very good testimony.
I was baptized in the LDS church 10/17/04. I went on a mission and married a Mormon. The Lord redirected me and I was baptized as a born again Christian 6/21/24 the same day I was supposed to get sealed in the LDS temple. I am so thankful that I am not confused trying to understand Moses 7:8 in the Pearl of Great Price (Mormon scripture) which says that the Lord cursed the land with much heat that the barrenness thereof will go forth forever and there was a blackness that came upon the people of Canaan that they were despised among all people. I was in my mission praying about this and trying to understand why God would curse us to be hated. Thank God for freedom!
What happened to your husband? Are you still married to him? I pray that he would be saved as well.

This is an awesome testimony. I also joined a church some years ago that didn't believe in the Holy Spirit, tongues, the power of God, etc. They believed that we shouldn't eat certain foods and still believe Hell is not real. I was invited to a Holy Ghost filled church where I first felt the power of God, had people tell me things about myself I have never told anyone and prayed for me so much so I was healed from sickness in my body. Today, I am born again and have a real relationship with Jesus christ, filled with the Holy Ghost and is enjoying being in His presence at anytime. God is good. Thank God for opening your eyes my brother. He is faithful. He said we will find Him when we search with our whole heart. Amen
What a beautiful testimony. I pray many Mormons get saved for this
I met him and his family in Idaho. I got sucked into Mormonism, and ended up going to the school, BYUI. I met Adam’s road in Idaho at a Christian church. I would sneak away from BYuI and go to the Christian church in Idaho Falls. Lynne was so empathetic and caring towards me. Even giving a copy of her book for free. I still remember all this to this day. It was my first cry for helping, looking into Lynne’s eyes and she saw me so clearly. God bless this beautiful family!! Please keep getting your story out there. Mormons are great, but this church/ religion does not give true heart transformation and ever lasting life.
Yep, they are in for a rude awakening
have you seen Jesus? best stop pretending you do.

I agree 100% with this gentleman. After 50 LONG years of being a member of that organization, I said ENOUGH. I am so free and happy now.
I love when he said “I got beat up by the Bible” 😂 I felt this when I began my sincere surrender. I was trying to find answers to what was hurting me and He gave me knowledge and conviction of how I had hurt and hurt others. What a humbling experience. I love you Lord 🤍☺️
My siblings and I were born into the Mormon church. My parents and aunts are still in the church. Please continue to pray for the people in the Mormon church that their eyes are opened to the mercy and forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
My whole family is still there as well..I want to share this with them, but they would not receive it in the way I would want them to.
We will pray for them all anyway. I am not of the Morman Church. Peace to you@@shandihuddleston2167

His false "translation" of the supposed book of Abraham proves that Joseph Smith was a deceiver.
He was a mason, like all the lds management
Just like his father Satan. The great deceiver. Came to deceive the world.
Joseph Smith was deceived

I'm a Catholic and was enticed by the title of this podcast. I was very interested in what problems you saw with the Mormon church, and I'm so pleased to hear your testimony of coming to Christ. This is a gentle nudge to any Protestant you are not getting all The Graces of Jesus, unless you are a Catholic. We have seven sacraments to help us stay in God's love. The time of this Earth is short and all lukewarm Christians will have an awakening and will hear God say: "I never knew you". WWIII will be soon. The goats will be sorted from the sheep. The sinful areas will be cleansed. ❤
I really loved this interview. Jesus came for me in a dream about 30 years ago as a Return Missionary in the LDS church. My original intent was to stay in as a Christian and hopefully help bring others to Jesus from within the Church. Well that was impossible and when I tried to negotiate my terms with the Bishop, asking him, "just don't make me teach" it did not go so well which is why I finally left about 10 years ago practically kicked out.
I then went on a long journey trying to sift through a lifetime of lies. I went on a long journey. I attended protestant churches for a while, then into shamanism for about 5 years trying to deal with anxiety and depression and then Jesus brought me back into Christianity. In just a few hours I will become an official catechumen in the Orthodox Christian church.
Don't you just love this man?! What a tender heart. :)
Growing up in Utah I’ve lost a lot of friends and people I know to siucide due to the burden that the Mormon people have to living a perfect life. It’s a hard state to evangelize in but God has been faithful!
hi Ruby, do you go to church in Utah, I’m looking for one. A truly Bible believing church
I’m pretty sure google says that Utah has the most cases of depression
Hi, I live in Utah, in Salt Lake County. Calvary SLC (Pastor Terry Long) has been our home church. It's a great church, we're going through the book of Matthew on Sundays.
@@melissaj1213 Actually, it’s the opposite. There was a study that showed that UT had one of the highest rates of prescribed psychology drugs, primarily because Mormons have much lower illicit drug and alcohol use, so they self-medicate less.
@@MarinaPier77 oh thank you Marina! This is actually pretty close, as I’m in SL county too. I sure will be visiting.
When Jesus was on the cross , just before he died he said "it is finished". There is nothing we can do to add to it. Our good works do not save us. Have faith that Jesus paid fully, not partially.
I have said that to Mormoms and pointed it out in Revelation. They have an excuse for every way they go against the Bible. They say “that only means the no adding to the book of Revelation.”
We aren’t saved by his death. It is finished means paid in full. The blood paid for our sins(mercy)…..but We are saved by his life(grace)
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”
Resurrected Christ in us, the hope of glory. His person living in us is salvation.
“I shall abide in thy Son by faith and in thy way of worship by love forever”
Faith works by love. Love fulfills the law. We are still under the law of Christ.
Why did he resurrect if the death was what finished his work?
Does Easter offend you?
@@arscheerio wonderful question! His death won the victory of life after death, and eternity with God when our earthly life is over. Basically we were all going to be separated from God forever because of sin (which I’m sure you can see the world is a mess because of humanity’s inclinations) and we never would have been reconciled to Him if Jesus hadn’t sacrificed His life.
His resurrection-now that was exciting too!!! Through His resurrection and return to His place in Heaven, He was able to then send His own spirit into all who believe in Him, and make His home not just WITH us, but IN is. He released supernatural gifts and gave us the power to be even closer to Him and to be made into His likeness-His death is counted as OUR sacrifice now! So God sees us a redeemed, as though we ourselves made that sacrifice. So powerful!
His death: “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”
Romans 5:10
His resurrection power: “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,”
Philippians 3:10
The Holy Spirit: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

Ex mormon
Worst section of my life. Now I'm a true follower of. Jesus Christ
I am born again and thankful beyond words. I was generationally a descendant of Joseph Smith and was born again from a young age thank goodness however coming from broken childhood had my struggles of choosing to walk in obedience and choosing Jesus way. However now having finally made a stronger choice and knowing the beauty of the choice that He gives us as His sons and daughters. I so appreciate your testimonies due to what the Holy Spirit revealed to me and knowing that, that belief was wrong in that it had the multi wives thing but also they placed Joseph on a pedestal that only Jesus can own. You and your family are a wonderful testimony to God's wonderful love. I never was indoctrinated in to the teaching, so you connected a lot of dots form me. Thank you so much, may God bless and keep you and yours forever! 🙏🙏🙏
This is possibly the best explanation of Mormonism I ever had and one of the best testimonies I’ve heard from this channel.
May God bless and reach All his children in the Mormon church with his truth in Jesus Christ name Amen 😊
Amen.
thank You Lord for Your mercy and salvation to those whom You have called and will call out of lds.. and thank you for Your Holy Spirit in ministering to those people who will call in repentance upon the the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior on that day of their salvation. Your Word is true and powerful, You alone are our God and Creator of all things. Thank you for the salvation of this man and His family and thank you that Your work through this man brings glory and praise to You alone O Lord.
@@BAM-jc7uyHe's calling everyone out of false religion. It is everyone's responsibility to heed the call.
Excellent testimony. Wasn’t Mormon, but did temporarily follow a fake religion once and know that horrible feeling of realizing you were not actually following Jesus. I cried so hard, especially because I brought my kids along with me. Thank you for this.
Ephesians 2:8-9......We are saved by Grace !! Praise Lord Jesus !!
Mormonism is so dangerous. It’s a devotion like no other.
Sure build nice big roads and spend more time and energy studying genetics than Harvard.

Thank u so much for ur testimony, Michael. Praise Jesus, thank you Lord for the work he has done in the lives of you and your family...may the Lord continue to use it to help many...may you and your fam be blessed today and always.
I left Mormonism at 20 years old having grown up in it, marginally, only my Mom was LDS. But, my sister and I went with her. And we went to other activities and Mutual when a teen. Looking back I never really bought in, never felt love there, just rules and strictness. Everyone seemed so solemn. And when we went to testimony meetings, the only name mentioned or given any praise was Joseph Smith. Not God or Jesus, and that did not make any sense to me and I am a logical woman. God called to me in my car going to work one Sunday morning and I continued to listen to his leading, long story, and was saved at 20 years old and I have never looked back! Jesus is my everything! Thank you, Lord!
What amazes me is how easily we can fall into a works mentality where we think we can earn God's love and favor. He did it. It is done.
Amen! It is finished!!! Our debts, our sins have been paid in full by the FINISHED work of Christ Jesus on the cross! It is finished in the Greek means “Paid in full” Glory to God that this couple found the Truth the Way and the life! NO COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME!!!! We have been saved through faith, and not of works, lest any man should boast💯
God doesn’t ask us how many sins did we commit today. He asks did we trust in Him?
I fall into this trap ALL THE TIME. If I don't read my Bible for a while I start feeling ashamed and hesitant to pray - like my reading Scripture (which is important) is what gives me standing before God.
Amen
@@j96569 me too 🙏🏼❤️
I was raised in the LDS church. After living in Utah my whole life I too left the LDS church to follow the true Jesus of the Bible. . I will never be the same. I am in the process of healing mentally, emotionally and spiritually from the mis truths of the religion. I am Soo grateful for my Savior and his love for me and am praying everyday for others to see the truth. I too realized the Masonic relation as well as the other key points of this video. Thank you for sharing your testimony. ❤️
Oh wow. This is sooo Awesome. This is my testimony. Just after 50 years in the Old Apostolic church. Almost the same. 😢😢😢😢me and my Husband also "resigned" in writing. I just wanted to break every chain🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Attending and being in fellowship with a Bible teaching, believing, following and practicing church is crucial. What a difference it makes. Praying without ceasing...
I am so thankful for this testimony. Years ago in about 2013 or so, I was invited to an LDS church concert where Gladys Knight was performing. I went and the people were very nice. We had a great time and I agreed to have missionaries come to my house. I was searching for a church home at that time and was grieving for my father who had passed. I went on a tour of the local temple and on the surface it seemed very wholesome and good. However, I felt the Holy Spirit lead me to investigate and I looked at their doctrine online. I didn’t join. I was also invited to the Jehovahs Witnesses and considered them as well at one point. But again, doctrine was an issue. I also went to Catholic school most of my life. Doctrine when compared to the KJV bible did not line up. I even considered the SDA church. No… I just study my Bible and pray and fast at home and seek His face. I have opted not to join any religion. I seeks relationship.
💯🙏❤️
Your discernment, wisdom and knowledge cane straight from God and you listened! Well done!
What a wonderful testimony. I should thank your wife. I met in London some years ago. She doesn't know, but she helped me out of the LDS church. What a deliverance. I am now a committed Christian ✝️ by God's grace and his great mercy. Thank you so much for the book you gave me. God bless. ❤.
No-one comes to The Father but by JESUS -
He is The Way, The Truth, The Life
John 14:6
Even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:8,9.
You are my true disciples if you continue in My Word (The Word of God), you will know The Truth and The Truth will set you free.
John 8:31,32.
Satan is defeated by The Blood of JESUS, and The Word of our testimony, and we die to self..
Revelations 12:11.
God bless this brave man's testimony. I pray it sets many others free from the lies of the Father of Liars. (John 8:44).
New life is in The Blood.
Religion often holds people captive to lies, and separates us from GOD. But, as I look at our Wonderful Saviour, as He was, on The execution stake, I am reminded that it was His love for you and me that He suffered - the penalty of our sins, taken by the only sinless One - I am forever reminded by those nail-pierced hands holding His outstretched arms of love and forgiveness calling us back to our True, Righteous and Holy Father in Heaven.
To whosoever, come!
The temple of God is The Body of believers
In Christ. When we acknowledge our sin to God and thank Him for JESUS paying the price of our sin by the shedding of His blood on the stake at Calvary, Israel. If we sincerely turn away from sin to JESUS, then He, by His Spirit comes in to live with us. So, our body then becomes the 'temple' of The Holy Spirit. Now, we are born-again, out of sin, into God's family. We are NEW creatures - old things have passed away. GOD is Spirit and we have been made in His image. But we inherited sin, from Adam and Eve, and because of sin, we were actually separated from GOD.
But, praise GOD, while we were still sinners, Yeshua Ha Mashiach,
JESUS The Messiah,
died for us - the ungodly.
It's so wonderful to hear of. captives being set free from the deception of The Adversary.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by The Word of GOD.
(Romans 10:17).
I have often found that 'religions' quote (should say 'mis-quote') The Bible, if they can twist it to say what they want.
But, for me, whenever anyone tells me something about GOD, I ask where in God's Word does it say so?
Also, it's a very serious thing to GOD to add or take away from His Word.
(See Revelations 22:18,19;
Proverbs 30:5,6)
If you are a Truth seeker, you have every right to have your questions answered, especially if you're seeking GOD.
This is why I love The Bible, GOD's Word:
We can know The Truth -
Everyone who does evil hates things hates the light and avoids it, so that his actions won't be exposed. But everyone who does what is true comes to the light, so that all may see that his actions are accomplished in GOD.
(John 3:20,21)
If they are trusting in GOD, He is The Light - there is no darkness in Him.. . As King Solomon said, by The Spirit of The Almighty:
GOD will bring to judgement everything we do, including every secret, whether good or bad.
(Ecclesiastes 12:14)
I left Mormonism too. This was POWERFUL.
From an ex mormon this is the best explained and most accurate, powerfull and all around explanation of the mormon cult. I just recently got saved after leaving as a teenager and my sister and I are the only ones that left. Praying for my family lost in this cult. Thank you Jesus for casting light on darkness
Just came from reading Hebrews 1 - In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son... Reading the Bible is paramount 🙂
God still uses prophets and the Holy Spirit to speak but God will never disagree with the Word of God
@@Carolyn-LB I agree.
@@Carolyn-LB
I don’t get what makes the Bible the “Word of God.” God would write a much better book. Now I’m now “dissing” the Bible, it has beautiful accounts of men seeking God. The God I have come to know in my 45 years is much greater and far more righteous and loving than is described of Him in the Bible. He would NEVER command anyone to go kill men, women and children. And He would never expect one who is good to be sacrificed for the bad choices of others. There are verses in the Bible that support this.
@@aveleedeleon7694 the Holy Spirit told men what to write and also sometimes showed them. If you knew that all flesh had been corrupted and many were sacrificing their babies in the fire to moloch, yes God did tell them to put a stop to it and not let that cancer grow. God is a Holy God and can’t accept or look on sin. After He sent Jesus to be our sacrifice for sin, He (God), looks at us who live for Jesus through Jesus’ blood. That is the only way He can deal with our imperfectness. God is God..He makes the rules, not us.
@@aveleedeleon7694the old was a war for the seed. No more war needed. Their seed was corrupt. God commanded they be killed.
It is shadows and types for demons who live in us. We are called to kill the demons.
They killed human enemies(Satan works through people) we kill spiritual enemies now.
Satans goal was always to kill the seed. Noah was only one left at one point. Notice how he tried to have Jesus killed as a baby.
I have been raised in a Christian household, almost everyone in my family are Christians, live in the "bible belt", and don't personally know any Mormons. But for some reason, God has put it on my heart lately to learn more about the "LDS" church and ways to minister to them. I'm very non-confrontational and have always dreaded the idea of a Mormon missionary knocking on my door, but if that happens now I feel equipped to share the love of God and the truth of the scripture. Thanks for sharing you story, and Praise Jesus that he washed our sin away, and that we are righteous with the blood of Christ!
What a blessing you could be to the missionaries who knock on your door! Consider yourself a seed planter in their hearts with truth in love. I served a LDS mission in south Caroline back in the 90’s and had many uncomfortable encounters with Bible bashing Christians. These interactions did not soften my heart but built further pride that kept me from seeing who Jesus really is. But 25 years later He opened my eyes and rescued me, He was so patient with me. Do know such words as salvation and eternal life, among many others have a different meaning, there are many good books out there to help with differences of Christianity and Mormonism. May God bless you in sharing His Truth in Love!
You need to receive Jesus in the Holy Sacrament of the Altar to grow in Holiness

X Mormon As a teenager I was baptised days after President Kennedys assassination
I suffered bad asthma attacks and I remember after the baptism the Elders gave me the laying on of hands given me blessing for health
I will always remember this wonderful feeling of calmness love and warmth radiated downward throughout my body to my feet it was the most wonderful experience of Gods love ever experienced I have to say I never suffered from that day to now I’ve never had a asthma attack!
I still have warm wonderful memories of the good people I met during my time in the church
I tried reconnecting with the Mormon church on several occasions but it was never the same I never felt I belonged and it was the same with other denominations
Over many years I came to realise I don’t need a church to tell me how to practice the teaching of Jesus Christ and to follow in his footsteps !!!
Love and respect all life and know everyone is special to God!!!❤
Ex-Mormon here. Born and raised in Utah. I’m so thankful Jesus opened my eyes to the truth! Still have many friends and family in the LDS Church. Sadly, none of them will even talk with me about it.
Wow, I pray the Lord will open their eyes. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
How amazing is that for you! I'll pray for your family!
His testimony was so good. My husband and I moved to Utah as Born Again Christians. I enjoyed Utah, it was beautiful but spiritually lonely. My husband was in construction and I went with him to an LDS church one day. It was being remodeled and empty. I learned that for communion, the LDS have bread and water for communion. I felt sad for them, bread and water is prisoner rations, I thought. The forgiveness of sins is in Jesus Christ shedding his blood and thats one of the purposes for communion, to rememberwe have been blood bought and forgiven. They are under such oppressive rules, no freedom from sin, and prisoner rations. Pray for their freedom.
Good insight about the bread and water sacrament
Thank you for that perspective- I’ve never thought of it like that. Exmormon here
Thank you for that perspective- I’ve never thought of it like that. Exmormon here.
They don't know the meaning of it if they don't believe the atonement occurred by the shedding of blood when Jesus Christ gave His life in place of ours at the cross. He died because of our sin atoning for the sin instituted in Genesis.
Bread and water is not communion.
Thank you so much for this, I've been a Christian for allot of years which ups & downs. This ministered to me & I'm grateful to our Lord & King Jesus Christ for it. Many blessings upon all involved with this project.
I was LDS almost all of my adult life. Over 45 years! As an unmarried female I had risen to many different offices more commonly held by married LDS women. Probably because I was an "RM". Everything mentioned in this video is absolutely true. I'm so grateful that God sent my husband into my life, because that is what it took to get me out of the grips of the LDS church!

Incredible. Thank you. I joined the same year as yourself, did every calling I was asked to do, paid every dollar in tithing, went to the temple (overseas as we didn't have one then in Australia) and went back there to he married, gave everything I was then, to the church. Had children under the covenant. Then I read that same scripture in Galatians about the law and while reading, I was 'told' of church corruption. I sat stunned, I cried at this revelation, then a friend rang who was a member and she had received the same message at the exact same time. Then in a dream I was told what to do. So many things happened at church to reinforce that message before they x'd me for no longer believing in the prophet. It took only a moment to be excommunicated, but years to actualy leave the church in my heart and mind. It was painful. I was ostracised from my family and all friends were gone. No one enquired as to my welfare. They don't go after lost sheep. But I found Christ or He found me. ❤ I see the LDS church as a valuable stepping stone to the truth, for sincere seekers. 💖 The church is now prophet worship. Years after being x'd, I went back to the same temple, unable to go in so I sat on the steps and just prayed and said: 'I love you! ❤
Former LDS, left in 1999, came ro know the biblical Jesus that same year. It is such an amazing act of God to see Mike and his wife Lynn Wilder share their stories of leaving the LDS church for the biblical Jesus. God is so good!

Man. My heart broke when he was in tears over having to stop funding the support to the girl and instead give all their money to the stupid cult. He has every right to be angry with these greedy cult members.
The sad thing is that who knows if he was actually supporting the girl he thought he was
No one is a greedy cult member. Lay ministry creates a lot of different interpretations. Perhaps too many! Personally, the bishop that deemed his tithe inadequate was wrong. The church didn't determine his tithe was inadequate, this man himself did by submitting his will to another man, rather than God. God would have told him his tithe was adequate and accepted as a full tithe, if he'd simply asked God. But he didn't. He allowed the bishop (another man) to determine for him. What a fool!
@@sandboxcreations9104Jesus Christ said the woman who gave a penny was worth more because it was all she had. Jesus Christ overthrew the money changers who turned the sacrificial system into a money making business venture.
I know. It's what Satan does. And you can see how convicted he felt. Thank you Lord for his conversion!
Michael's testimony is powerful and authentic. The Apostle Paul wrote to the backslidden church at Corinth, "I fear that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ. If someone comes and proclaims Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a spirit different from the one you received or a gospel different from the one you accepted, you accept it way too easily." (2 Corinthians 11:3-4, paraphrased). Like Michael, I was saved out of man-made religion: Roman Catholicism.
What was your experience? I can tell you mine. I was raised in Catholicism. I went to Catechism. They taught many extra biblical things there. Could they answer if you could know if you are saved for sure? They never read those biblical passages during mass nor in Catechism. It was a secret. I had to go outside the church and have a small spirit filled church show me the scriptures that they never read.
They could not answer my question. How can you know you are saved?
Purgatory you will find is hell. If you land there you are not getting out. It is a place of punishment, but you don't get out once you pay the price like they teach. This teaching negates what Jesus Christ did on the cross, who said it is finished.
Catholicism appeared to be a works doctrine too and maybe you will make it by merit. I recall the teaching of Purgatory and people going there to get beat for their sins and then you can go to heaven. Am I wrong?
Michael so happy to find you. My wife and I were “members” for 8 years. Long story but I was active duty Air Force. During the out of control growth of the 80s in S CA we escaped. I went to a 3 month school and when returning my wife said I don’t want to go any more. One of the Bishop councilors advised me to divorce my wife. Church? Wife? Stake President (good friend) didn’t know what to tell me. We left!!! I grew up 10 miles from Palmyra , NY. Never heard of Mormon church. Mormon temple and Masonic temple words are EXACTLY the same! I have several friends that left the Masons. The enemy is here to kill, steal and destroy. I have since had MANY encounters with God including His presence. My wife watched as I dreamt. I woke up shaking like a baby.
Wow, this was exhausting! I'm so grateful for the simplicity of the Gospel! Thank you, Jesus, that I picked up my cross to follow you! ❤
Just think about how much the Mormon man and woman has to do for Grace it has to be incredibly exhausting!!!!😢

This wonderful man is 100% correct. Best I have heard…explaining the church. It’s what I was taught. Until I started to research the church to learn more about the gospel. So I thought. I’m an ex-Mormon, who was raised in the church. I did go to the Temple. What a horror show that was to me. I sat there thinking, while in the temple , is this idolatry? Am I in a cult? The things I learned about the gospel of Jesus, after I left that church is so awesome! Never regret leaving the Mormon church. And so blessed I found the true teachings of Christ. Also to be blessed with learning about Judaism, to appreciate and love Gods chosen people is an incredible blessing. Christianity and Judaism for me live side by side. They are different branches of the same tree. Some may disagree but that concept brings me peace. Jesus lived and practiced as a Jewish man. If I didn’t leave the church I would have never received those gifts of information. I would still be struggling with it all. He is also correct re. the members of the church. Most are loving kind people, a lot of my family who I love dearly are still members. But to me, the higher up in leadership of the church, the weirder it gets. And also there are some very incorrect and ill intention people. And I just could never reconcile what I learned about the history of the church and some of the church’s gospel of Christ just didn’t lineup with the New Testament’s teachings of Christ. The more I learned, the less any of it made sense. The more I learned, I began to see it was a gospel of Joseph Smith and whomever the current President of the church. I’m in awe of this man. What a good and righteous man,and father. The church I found can be very cruel and unforgiving to some people. It changes with who is in charge. A lot of nepotism. And class structure. Their pedigree. And the excommunication process is so bizarre! So full of crap. Most people who leave the church are good people that have found out they were deceived one way or the other. Not by Christ or his teachings, but by men who think they are better than Christ.
As soon as he said his wife was a BYU professor, I knew who he was. Ive heard his wife on Allie Beth and Micah's testimony. Amazing
What is his full name? I haven't found it in the transcript or description.
took me a while but have watched his wife and son's story!
It also took me a while before the penny dropped.
@@dianeandjesus Dale Wilder??? I might be wrong. Their son is Micah Wilder. ua-cam.com/video/u3KG9avAVdA/v-deo.htmlsi=4ZVTg6HHql9NUrLV This is his wife.

Praying for my Mormon brothers and sisters to sit through these testimonies as hard as it may be ❤ grateful for this family and their heart for the truth. I love that they love so true with not speaking poorly towards anyone that they once served in the LDS church.
Amen sister Yvette. 🙏🏾💙
I know!!!!! I cried thinking of how he felt when his son was excommunicated.
I would LOVE to hear Micah’s testimony, he was so brave to take a stand and pave a way for his parents to the truth. 🙌🏽🔥❤️
I saw the testimonies of the other family members. ..... now also watching the father's testimony is also a blessing. So special
This is the channel that led me to the truth
That is so powerful, thank you for sharing that.
a 2 hour testimony?! Wow you spoiled us with this one 🤩 I love these longer testimonies
Me too!!! by my daughters and I were at the beach yesterday and I started listening to it as I laid out trying to get some sun and about 30 minutes into it I looked at my phone because I thought I don't want this to end and I saw that it was over two hours and I literally was giddy with excitement!!
@@colleencampbell172 yes exactly!! 🤣 it’s the feeling of not wanting it to end
When I saw 2 hours I thought it would be so boring that I would quit. Best two hours I’ve spent today.
A good friend of mine left the Mormon church after her initiation in the Temple. After striving for the purity required, she was shocked and disappointed. They wore special white garments and were lead to do secret handshakes thru the Veil (represented as a curtain) During the ceremony, she said it didnt feel right. God doesn't need secret handshakes. It reminded her of the Masonic rituals that she read about.
After years of beibg spoonfed, in a LDS family, The reservations she felt at the temple led her to research deeper into the religion and doctrine.
She and her sister, asked that their names be removed from the recorbooks of LDS. Through prayer and followers of Christ, they believe LDS is a cult, with dangerous higher teachings that Lucifer is Jesus's brother.
The same higher teaching (but false teachings) of LDS, Masonic & even Catholicism: where lucifer is a church diety ... when you rise to their to their highest spoonfed teachings.
Dont be deceived... these are dangerous cults that lead you AWAY from Christ Jesus 🙏 Pray for the truth to be revealed to all of them.
I love how he heard Gods answer. In the comments others said God spoke. It’s true, he will speak to you if you sincerely seek his will.
Watching that tree blow around outside the window is like God dancing for joy 🕺🕺❤
Wow, loved this powerful testimony!! Praying Jesus remove the veil over all eyes that are blinded, in Jesus Name!!🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️
I am so moved by his testimony. Most powerful and heart wrenching truth. For I was once a Mormon and now a follower of Jesus Christ whom I will sing and praise forevermore!
This man really spelled it ALL out! Thank you Jesus for this man and hold him tight and shield his body, mind and heart and those he loves… Amen ❤
We can never be saved under the law, only by faith in Jesus. Jesus willfully and Father and Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead.
You are right. It says in different scripture, Jesus raised Himself, another place The Father raised Him, another the Holy Spirit raised Him!
Jesus is risen we don't know how but the cloth that was over him shows signs of things like Gamma rays etc. Scientists would like to know how to bring someone back to life.
No one is coming to save you
@@bradzimmerman3171Correct! He already did!!
@bradzimmerman3171 may God bless you 🙏 ❤️
What a Beautiful Testimony ✝️❤️🙏 Praise Jesus
My grandfather and grandmother were Mormon. My grandfather was a Elder in the church, I remember going to Sunday worship with my grandma, and when she died, my father started taking us children to the Mormon church, I think he did it for my grandfather, when I was in high school I had to start going to seminary before school I asked what is the man on the cross mean and he said it’s just symbolism, I’ve been baptized for the dead in the temple somewhere around San Francisco or Oakland for at least five dead people when I was 12 years old with a group of other kids. It seems all those years I had hate, and demons in me, the hypocrisy and control, the things they wanted me to believe and the book of Mormon did not line up with the Bible, the bishop wife told me three generations would have to be cleansed (perish) because the sins of my father. When I was 16 I went and had a hamburger with a boy nothing happened, but I got dragged to the bishops office put on a chair in the middle room surrounded by five or six men one was the bishop the rest I think were Elders and they screamed all sorts of profanity, but the one I remember the most was your a whore, they would actually take turns following and watching the ones they thought were troublemakers (the one’s who questions their teachings) my father forced us into this religion I hated, while he cheated and beat my mother’s, I ran away at 16, but there was hope . now I’m a born-again Christian and demons flee from the Lord‘s presence in me. Jesus personally had to come to me and have a one on one to save me through the Holy Spirit in a prayer language I did not know of until I was speaking a foreign language I could not control, but there was witnesses about 50(remember, I was raised Mormon. I was not taught these things), which all I heard was babbling, and then a flood of words I do not understand, then it got quiet and then I was standing in the presence of the Lord, who is light and he held me I could feel the love so such love and I felt so unworthy, dirty, and evil how could he love me and he said it’s going to be all right over and over again, then everything went like in reverse back to babbling freaked me out then they showed me in the Bible what happened to me.
That’s my story of God’s love he really does go after that one lost sheep
My mouth fell open when he said “heard these words from God IN MY RIGHT EAR” this blew my mind! I’ve told 3 (safe) people (last year) the same words… I said that “I heard 5 words in my right ear… HE’s NOT YOURS, HE’s MINE”.
Back-story is that I was panicky about my son’s salvation and him living as if he doesn’t have a good mom just over in the next City.
The Lord, calmed my heart and it felt like God decided to put me in my place that my son is his and I was given my son to raise… but my 30 year old child has always belonged to God. This gave me such peace about the subject and pray for my son’s salvation daily and I know God’s got this❤
