- Ray Comfort interviews a man who was born and raised in a Mormon home and in the Mormon church, but left and became a born-again Christian. He exposes many aspects of the Mormon faith that Mormons don't like telling people about, explains why he left Mormonism, and then explains how Mormonism is different from biblical Christianity.

Ex Mormon here. I Was never enough as a Mormon and I could never do enough no matter how much I tried. I have been touched by Christs grace and finally I am free and a new person in Christ
Amen! GLORY TO GOD!!!🙌🕊🤍
Thank God !
Don't trust any version of the Bible people. No kidding. I'm so upset in learning after doing months of digging just how corrupt most all other versions are. Read David W Daniels' "Did the Catholic Church give us The Bible" and "Look What's Missing". You will be blown away. He also has some videos that are very good. David learned multiple languages, helps translate Bibles and has done a thorough research on the origins of the two different text paths the Bible was translated from. My NIV and ESV and other versions are purely trash and I only use for comparison. For now on it is the KJV for me. See for yourself.
@@kellibodony1077 Another one of those crazy KJV only people. Some think that the King James is more inspired than the original Hebrew and Greek. While there are some issues in modern translations, they are few and rarely impact the meaning of a passage. Stop undermining the inerrancy of Scripture.
@@paul.phillips, to be fair, many of the new versions of the Bible do have missing text or text that means something completely opposite. But I don't know at the moment which ones are different from the KJV. Except Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:5, etc. Genesis 1:1 says in the KJV "In the beginning, God created the" heaven "(singular).... Afterwards other verses talk about the" heavens"(plural) so He first made the space to put the earth, afterwards He devided it into 3 sections. This is just one example.
This is my husband, Justin and I just have to say how proud I am of him. It's not easy to speak out against a religion your own family accepts but he loves them and the LDS people enough to do so!
It was also an honor to meet Ray Comfort after his life's work has helped us in our journey beyond measure!
Great meeting you guys too. How about emailing me via my Personal Assistant: manuel@livingwaters.com I’d love to send you some free materials from the ministry.
God bless you guys!
You call people to repentance Ray and tell them if there isn't repentance there isn't salvation. But I think it's a given that you believe repentance is empowered by the Holy Spirit. God is faithful to those who have surrendered their lives. Our trajectory will be holiness if the Holy Spirit is active in us. 100%. :) A lot of folks like LDS separate grace and works. I considre myself a non-denominational believer in Jesus/Yeshua. Reformed teaching would say our salvation is ALL a work of God. And growing up in non-cessationist circles just makes me more thankful for that because I see the Spirit active in so many ways.
Hearing him speak out made my soul rejoice. Praise the Lord. God bless you both!
I’m praying for his family when I pray for mine!
I saw two young Mormon men dressed in suits riding bikes in the hot summer heat here in Texas. They seemed tired and then stopped at McDonald's to get out of the heat but didn't order anything. I felt bad for them, so I offered to buy them something to eat and drink, which they seem to appreciate. I told them they shouldn't ride their bikes in this 100-degree heat. They told me they had no choice, which made me sad to think how they had no choice in the matter.
It's a form of human trafficking what they are forced to go through. Really sad. Their cult is worth hundreds of Billions and forces it's members to go on missions for two years that they must pay for themselves. Many of them cannot afford to eat proper meals. They do not get to choose where they go too. They tell poor people that they must get baptized and then start paying money to the cult (extortion). The whole thing is messed up. It's such a Scam.
This is so awful. 😟
I was one once as well. The more we "sacrifice" the more god will reward. Every time I went through another temple (every week) I made the same "Covenants & Promises" We promise misery and everything we own to LD$ Then god promises things in return. Even after I left I believed in these hypnotic chants in Temple ceremonies
Time is running out. Humble yourself or the Lord will compel you to be humble. Without a broken heart the light of God’s Holy Spirit cannot enter our hardened hearts.

Ex Mormon born again Christian I left when i was told about the levels of Heaven as well as we could become a God I knew even at the age of 10 that that was wrong and from that moment I became born again
Wow...the intellect of a ten year old! You haven't progressed!
@@johnlee1352
Imagine thinking Heaven consists of multiple levels. Lol. Read the Bible, Cultist.
@@jeffs4483 I picture the Mormon heaven as the Titanic with 3 levels. In the end, they all sink.
One trigger for me was finding out they still practice polygamy (in secret) in their Temples. That my husband may have many wives and I will continue to have spirit babies - LOL He will know all our mormon spirit names but we cant know his!
@@styphlynne8253 The funny thing is that all "new names" are given out not based on revelation but by the day you went. Was a shock for me when I learned that little tidbit.
"The cross does not symbolize Christ's defeat but it shows His defeat over death and over sin" Amen brotha🙌
Also, I would add. It's a reminder that we all carry the burden by our own cross. But we do not carry it alone. I think an image of Jesus rising is inspirational. But I think the image of him dying does a better job of speaking to us when we go through tough times.
The Pope said Jesus failed at the cross also, 2015 St. Pats Cathedral NY. Same man made religious anti christ spirit.
His VICTORY over death and over sin.
Please reread that sentence. "the cross represents his defeat." It represents victory over death. The fact you are praising this statement worries me on your education.
@@christalone1147 Amen!! I was thinking the same thing.
When I was a Mormon and in seminary, they told us the goal was to become like God and populate planets. (Much like SIMS!) I was pretty offended, refused to go back to seminary. As a matter of fact it was that same year my foster parents later on introduced me to Christianity and the Born Again way. I was 14. John 3:16! By the grace of God, he saved my soul. 🙏😇 But it grieves my heart so many Mormons don't get it do to brainwashing. I'm not saying that to be mean, I honestly grieve because many Mormons are good people. And I know they do not like being called Mormons, but honestly that's something I accepted when I was a child. If you are LDS out there reading this-please do not be offended by my words. Please go read John 3:16 yourself. It wasn't easy for me to leave the Mormon church, but there is some serious brainwashing that continues to this day, there. When you hear the same thing over and over, that's brainwashing. Joseph Smith as we know him today in the LDS church is NOT the Prophet of God. The sacrifice of Jesus saved us. He paid the ultimate price for our sins. Remember how Abraham was supposed to sacrifice his son and was stopped? God spared his creation (us) from the torment of seeing Abraham and Sarah lose their only son. What a price Jesus paid! 😭He died on the cross for YOUR sins, for mine and for the entire creation of humankind. Your works are dead. We do good works not to get into heaven, but so that we feel good inside, right? We cannot interfere in the ultimate sacrifice. But Jesus did command us to feed and clothe the hungry because it was like giving to him. We have ALL SINNED and have fallen short of the glory of God, and what this guy in the video says is the truth. But! He does it with love and courage. God bless
Ppl who beleive they can become god like have a serious problem. That's what Lucifer thought & we kno what happened to him.
Beautiful testimony! Thank you for sharing this!😃❤✝️🙏
Thank you for your post Margaret. Well, I want to start by saying. You did the right thing. I went to their church once. Didn't know a lot about them. It seemed harmless. Everything was going well, until I heard praise John ! Whose John I ask ? They explained... I must have looked at them, like they were out of their minds. What ? The Bible says, to worship no other gods, but the true God. My spirit didn't want anything to do with this church. And why this other book ? They said, John had something to do with this book. Why not follow the true Bible? They went by this book of Mormon. I couldn't be there any longer. They are being lied to. It's sad, because we know what truth is. Even tho the Bible has been tampered with, over time. It's still enough to get you and me into the Kingdom of Heaven. You can't get there no other way, but through Jesus Christ. That's all there is to it. Thank you for sharing your post again Margaret.
@@connievida4089, that's straight truth.
@@connievida4089 Yes. Making God (or the KJV Bible say) what we want him to be or making ourselves equal to him is simply Idolatry and against the ten commandments.
I was a convert to the church. I was baptized when I was 9 and left at 18 or 19. I am now a Christian. My salvation was paid for by Jesus when he died on the cross.
Prairie God...! Glad to hear that you're out of that false religion.
Did you get baptized again? I don’t think the Catholic Church recognizes LDS baptism as valid
@@DeeDee0331 yes I did. I found a great church and got baptized.
@amandamiller2159
What does it mean to be saved??? What are you being saved from?????
@@amandamiller2159 You said you found a great church and got baptized. Amanda Miller, what is the name of that church? How did you come to know it is the true church of Jesus Christ? I’m interested to know.
I fell away from the Mormon church almost 30 years ago. In the last few years I have been working to create a relationship with God. I'm not perfect and I struggle daily but that does not dull my desire to return home to our father.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Glad to hear it. You're in a good place here listening to Ray Comfort.
Come home to the Catholic Church
Mormons: "this guy in the 1800s received a personal revelation from God, and we should just take his word for it... even though scripture warns against such people"
Joey Smith was a well-known scam artist in his day, and the scam continues.
I feel the same way. I refuse to worship any other, but God. And Jesus is the only way. You can't afford to take anyone's word for it. When they say, they know the way. If it's not from the Bible. Forget it.
@@Mycroftsbrother, he is fake and your right, a scam. He could never go through what Jesus did for you and me. Promise you that. I know I couldn't.
It just goes to show how dangerous being biblically illiterate can be. Such a person will believe anything and happily led to destruction.
Joseph Smith was not hearing from our Lord, he was listening to the dark one. Research mountain meadows massacre, you will cringe.
I'm an ex Mormon and sadly most people don't get saved after falling away from the church. By the grace of God I was saved I fell away and became athiest/agnostic for a long time. Then the Lord called me back and just like this gentleman said once you realize the Bible isn't corrupted and have a better understanding of the TRUE gospel everything became so clear it was amazing. Most Mormons think they know what other Christians believe but just have "more" added to it. They have more of the truth. When I tell you they have no understanding at all of the true gospel and what other Christians believe it's astounding. That's also what kept me from the Lord for so long... pray, pray, and pray some more for all the other people tricked by the devil to believe these awful lies the LDS church promotes.
Excellent testimony!
Well said I am ex Mormon now born again too.
Amen

“In the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1
@@IannaLovely2022
Paul gave an insight to departing from the faith during his days as Apostle to the Gentiles. In his last meeting with the elders of Ephesus, Paul warned them to take heed in their duties as overseers of the churches in Ephesus. Paul explains why in the succeeding verses:
“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.” (Acts 20:29-30)
Years later, Paul’s first letter to Timothy warns about apostasy in the church, the departing from the faith in the latter times.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 FORBIDDING TO MARRY and COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM MEATS, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:”
There are now thousands of churches with differing beliefs and doctrines of salvation. Which of these churches have departed from the faith? Some churches now even teach that baptism is no longer required. Whether we are saved by grace alone or by faith alone or by works alone or by a combination of two or all of these had been the cause of disagreements and contentions among Christian churches for many many centuries.
Jesus built his church through his apostles whom he ordained, gave power and authority, and guided by revelations, and the members were called saints (Ephesians 2:19-20). There is one church today that fits that description of the church of Jesus. It is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with its living Apostles and prophets guided by revelations; the global church with over 70,000 full-time missionaries serving without pay to preach the restored gospel of Jesus Christ in 160 countries.
@@IannaLovely2022
You quoted 1Timothy 4:1 from Paul’s first letter to Timothy which describes the departing from the faith in the latter times.
Allow me to include the next 3 verses to better understand what Paul was telling Timothy:
(1 Timothy 4:1-4) “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:”
@@IannaLovely2022 that would be Mormons, JW's and Seventh-day Adventists. Catholics aren't too far behind that list.
@@georgebauerschmidt5289You’re entitled to your own opinion.
Self righteousness will never be accepted by God. Ever
Well that leaves those self-righteous Mormons out. SRM
Ex-Mormon here. I used to have numerous demonic attacks when I was part of the LDS church. The other members told me the same thing happened to Joseph Smith so I must be really close to Jesus. I ultimately left the church and became born-again. I no longer get demonic attacks. The Lord has set me free! Thank you Yeshua! ✝️🙏
Praise the Lord.
What a way to gauge one's relationship with God.
Your free of torment because you've fallen for the corrupted gospel preached by Paul.
Paul wrote many things that contradicted Jesus and freely admitted he was a liar.
Romans 3:7 "For if the truth of God hath more abounded through MY LIE unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
Paul was identified as a false apostle in the 1st Century. Paul writes:
2 Timothy 1:15 "This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes."
The church at Ephesus is commended by God for rejecting false apostles.
Revelation 2:2 "I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:"
There's plenty on the internet about Paul's corruption of the Gospel of Jesus and his contradictory accounts of his Damascus Road conversion.
Here's just a few contradictions:
ON MERCY
Romans ch.9
[15] For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
[16] So it depends not upon man's will or exertion, but upon God's mercy.
[18] So then he has mercy upon whomever he wills, and he hardens the heart of whomever he wills.
VS.
Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
ON JUSTIFICATION
Romans ch.3
[24] they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
[28] For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law.
vs
Matthew 12:37 "for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Matthew 19:17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
ON WHAT IS HONORABLE
2 Corinthians 8:21 "for we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord's sight but also in the sight of men."
vs
Luke 16:15 "But he said to them, You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God."
ON THE LAW
Romans 6:14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."
Galatians 3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
vs
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Salvation by grace alone is Paul's greatest lie.
James 2:20 "You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?"
Ex-Mormon here. The same exact thing happened to me....
@@standdown4929Now stand down and go your way, hear?
Former mormon here. Love this his story as its exactly like mine. The moment I found out the real Jesus. Woah.

Ex Mormon here. LDS is not Christian. Their beliefs, doctrines, and practices are in direct contradiction to Christ's teachings. Just because they slap the Jesus name onto their cult doesn't make them so.
Thanks for leaving so we didn't have to throw you out.
@@johnlee1352
You are not smart enough to leave yourself. Weak.
@@johnlee1352Morman religion teaches a different Jesus Christ. He wasn't a man who worked himself into being a God like your doctrine teaches. Joseph did not have sex with Mary for his conception. He was divinely conceived, the only begotten Son of God. KJV Bible states this clearly. Another teaching is false.
@@luvpamelanewton I don't know what the "Morman" religion teaches. The "magic" conception is a dullard's canard to poorly explain a very natural event. How did the fertilized egg get in her uterus? How did the egg get fertilized? And don't tell me about some "mystery" that I'm supposed to swallow wholesale without question. It's all a distraction to avoid viewing God as anthropomorphic (even though we are told we are in his image). Look up "begotten"...it means: "to bring (a child) into existence by the process of reproduction." Are we to suspend all logic and reason? I think that is your doctrine...amazing.
Was once a member of the Mormon cult. Blessed by Jesus leading me to Christianity. Thank you blessed Saviour! I know I am saved by my faith in his grace. By his blood.
Question, do Mormons also read the KJV? Thank you
I read the KJV and a French version which is different. It's in French
Mormons have access to the kjv but prefer the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great price and the Doctrine and Covenants. They are wonderful people. But as you know we believe the bible to be the word of God. The dead sea scrolls verify the truth of the bible. It is translated just fine. The world is full of deception, easy to fall for man made religions.
Aren't Mormons - Christians too? (They name their Church after him, and Jesus himself said you'd know his church by his name). Not sure why so many churches don't do the same. I guess at least it's a start.

I became a Christian while a member of the USAF, 15Dec71, and my squadron CIC was a Mormon who treated me rather harshly for a minor offense! Some of my former friends who became my enemies after my conversion took up a defensive posture for me and were talking revenge. Somehow God Almighty saved me again and made sure I got an Honorable Discharge! I confess I held a grudge for several years but the Lord helped me to forgive and pray especially hard for all who oppose the Way, the Truth and the Life! Thank you Ray for another top-notch video!
You encountered an un Christ like member.
I have been a "Mormon" for 70+ years. I have encountered some nasty members but not nearly as many who were good people. My problems with one of those less than honorables actually resulted in great blessings. A situation occurred, I made a change. It resulted in training which led to a good job. Today that job has provided me with a nice pension and excellent health insurance. Being a member of any church, mormon or otherwise, does not make you a saint. It can mean that is a goal.

Thanks for Ray Comfort and Living Waters ministry thanks uploading these video because these other denominational forms of so called "Christianity" such as Mormonism, Jehovah's witnesses in The Watchtower group, Seventh Day Adventism, Catholicism Protestantism and other forms aren't Christianity at all but infiltrations by Sa'tan's devices and deceptions wanting to infiltrate Christianity from the inside through Islam and other religions.

I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.

I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

I really like this video and the Guy speaking.... HE will go far at reaching those that are serious in the search for TRUTH! Wherever he is... Lord protect him AND give him lots of opportunity to reach other Mormons with the Love of Jesus!!!
When he mentioned discovering that the Bible was the living word of God I really felt that. I e recently been reading the word now as an adult and it’s like discovering God for the first time. Like he’s been my acquaintance but now he’s my friend
Black Sheep right here. Been Born Again for 31 years. Never regretted leaving or having my name removed from "church" records. I have been studying Biblical Hebrew for almost 2 years now. The deeper I get, the more certain I am that God's Word is inerrant, inspired, and
God breathed. If you have doubts about it being translated into your language, the go to the original source.
I was raised Mormon and officially left the Church within the past 2 months. Soooo grateful to God for helping me see more clearly. I love my LDS friends, but wow... The amount of brainwashing (intentional or accidental, idk) is just insanity. I feel so bad for them. I'm still recovering. It feels like I'm recovering from a hard life of crime.
Praying for you.

I came into the church on my own at 17.I am the only active member of my family. Ive never looked back. I have led a very happy life in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Its sad that some people have bad experiences in the church. Sorry to hear that and wish them well in the life they have chosen now.
Apostate churches are notorious for saying "everything is going to be OK no matter what". It is a tool of Satan and the path to hell. It's how some "churches" now accept most any form of sin and perversion.
Amen.

I married into a Morman family, 40 yrs now, I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A BIBLE OR HEARD USE OF THE BIBLE ONE TIME
We study the Bible every single week during come follow me!! That’s a lie!
Ex Mormon and I still literally have my quad next to me, guess what’s in my quad? The Bible. Guess what the come follow me taught the past few years, the Bible.
Doesn't matter, Mormons don't believe it or make excuses when a verse contradicts what they are fed to believe by men. Even the b/M has verses they ignore because "revelations by man" supercedes written text.
Scriptures is Bible contradict Mormom teachings. You will find that when researching it.
there are ALWAYS exceptions to any rule. Congrats on those where they actually had Bible opportunities in their specific location. HOWEVER, there are many more that do not. The location near me, I know doesn't. And I've been to Hill Cumorah Pageant with many that come from all over that revealed, honestly, the same thing. But we tend to just see one example and then call everyone else a liar based on that which is just lazy research and statistics.
I became a Mormon in 1979. Got baptized by them but when I went to a Bible study it was empty. The book of Mormon is weird , then when I over heard 2 elders talking in they're sanctuary, they said that they could not wait to become gods. I new in my heart that was not right , because of me where I came from I knew that was wrong. I didn't understand at the time that I was searching for God. Wasn't till at a home Bible study with a true Christ's one, that I learned i was a sinner that needed forgiveness. I heard the simple Gospel and gave my heart to Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit and in Gods good time am growing in Christ and still continue to grow in him whom saved me from me❤️✝️
God bless you Kim.
So happy you found out the truth. Thank you for sharing this post. That's a beautiful thing in your walk with Jesus.
Glad you came to the truth and you were set free praise JESÚS.

It is so bizarre that "lifelong Christians" are fooled by the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormons. Billy Graham endorsed Mitt Romney, who is a Mormon, in the 2016 primary elections for the Republican Party. Billy Graham's website took the Mormons off his cult list.
In 1890, when the territory of Utah was to become a state, the Mormon practice of polygamy had to be renounced. The Mormon church today is very wealthy, and controlled the state of Utah (probably still does).
When people don't read a Protestant Bible every day, they get sucked into all of these cults and false religions.
I've never heard an evangelist ever call out the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons as cults, but that's really what they are.
Anyway, good job.
Keep up the good work Ray.

Thanks Ray Comfort and Living Waters ministry for uploading these video because these other denominational forms of so called "Christianity" such as Mormonism, Jehovah's witnesses in The Watchtower group, Seventh Day Adventism, Catholicism Protestantism and other forms aren't Christianity at all but infiltrations by Sa'tan's devices and deceptions wanting to infiltrate Christianity from the inside through Islam and other religions.

Raised Catholic. Once I read the Bible I was born again. Can't argue with the TRUTH. Amen
Are you still Catholic?
Same as my mum; my sister, me and her even followed dad to church (CE) until 2002 when we became fully Pentecostals 😃
Rechele, you should return to the Catholic Church.
I, know Jesus Christ is my Lord& Saviour &
if you bother to study the early Church Father's they were very Catholic& hearing Mass by the year 150 around the last
of the living Apostles& if the dude on the
Video really cared about his family& friends he would stop crit. them & preach to them....
@@jodystimm2098 The true, original church was started in Jerusalem (Acts 2) by Peter, ten days after Jesus ascended to heaven.
Jesus said, Follow me.
Jesus never said to follow early church leaders.
John 10:27-29
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Well before the time of Jesus God the father said: “Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.” Deuteronomy 30:11. There are many verses like this. Jesus said “not even a pen stroke shall disappear from the law.” Mathew 5:17-18. Then in verse 19 of the same chapter Jesus clearly gives us different heavenly levels of least to greatest, which support the notion of different levels of heaven. 1st Corinthians 6:9 Jesus says “do not be deceived,” for a whole list of sinners he gives us will not enter into heaven, and grace will not change this fact. You must be both of works and of Christ. My brother in Christ please correct your false teaching. Mormonism aside. You are incorrect, The Bible does not say we are saved by Grace alone nor does it say we cannot follow the law without Grace. This is all out of my memory, if you claim to know God, then you should know his word. As Jesus says, “my sheep know my voice.” Whether or not you consider yourself Mormon, you are not saved by grace alone. The law is required of you. God does not require of man what he cannot do: “I have not spoken in secret, In a corner of a land of darkness; I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain,’ I the LORD, speak righteousness, Declaring things that are upright.” Isaiah 45:19. All men of God who believe that they will be saved by grace alone or praise alone should read all of Isaiah Chapter 1. The Jews did not sacrifice to forgive sins, sacrificial atonement served as a teaching tool, you had to sacrifice the best of what you had, and this was to teach you not to sin again. Jesus did not serve as a replacement sacrifice as we can clearly see in Isaiah chapter 1. In that chapter God makes it clear that he expects grace to come from you and to be poor out unto others through your works, and that sacrificial atonement does not suffice.
Just as a newborn child, a parent loves their newborn because they created it. The infant didn’t have to do anything to earn their love!
❤
I know God loves me because He created me! I am fearfully and wonderfully made! God knew me before I was in my mothers womb!
❤
God loves His children! It’s in the Holy Bible! He knew and loved me, he loves you too!
❤
I finally found out who God was after I left the Mormon church. I’m saved through my faith and not my works! Through my faith I’m saved and because of my gratefulness, I want to do good unto others. Not to win over God or earn my ticket to heaven.
Im saved through my faith in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior! Who died on the cross for me and humanity, defeated death, rose on the third day, and ascended to heaven! I’m waiting patiently for His return 🙏✨
BEAUTIFLY said!
5:38 "The symbol for eternal life should not be the death of the Saviour." 1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
The cross is the Taw that is mentioned in the OT as a mark of protection. This symbol is used on ancient artifacts. The taw looks like a cross. Jesus Christ is the First Last, Alpha Omega, Alef Taw.
I was also born and raised into the LDS church for the first 18 years of my life. I can say that this video shows absolutely many of the horrifying lies that they believe. I had much of the same experience as the ex-Mormon in this video growing up. Long story short, I also turned away from all churches for a couple of years after leaving the LDS church. I was secular and worldly until someone started sharing the true gospel with me at my workplace just last year. He gave me a Bible and invited me to attend his Christian church. I started reading the book of Matthew and throughout my weeks of reading it and attending church services, God cleansed me and opened my eyes to the truth. I finished the book of Matthew, and I had an understanding of the simplicity of God’s grace. I finally had a relationship with God that I so longed for, and I also developed in such a short amount of time a spiritual family at my church. I got baptized a couple of months later. No one in my mostly LDS family attended, but my Grandad did, and my spiritual family was there. I have never had so much joy, and God has spiritually gifted me in ways I could’ve never believed possible. And just last week, I witnessed to LDS missionaries for the first time and told them my testimony. Praise God for this opportunity and for this man’s opportunity to share. Christ is worth it all, even the hardship that comes after leaving the cult of Mormonism.
Glad you had such a loving grandpa
I am so glad you have a great relationship with the Lord. So do I. Mormonism is not a thing. It’s something that people that do not believe use to try and take people that do believe down. True Christian’s do not degrade someone else’s believes. I left the baptist church because they could not answer any questions. They would just tell me we will know when we die. I don’t go bashing the baptist church or any churches. A persons beliefs are very personal dear to them. No one should call or put down someone’s beliefs just because they don’t believe like they do. I believe that Christ would not approve of such behavior. So if you don’t mind we will just have to agree to disagree because I’m not going to change your mind and your not going to change mine. Most important thing is that people accept the Lord as their savior. Have a nice and blessed life.
Horrifying lies? Cult? Justifications for leaving I think. It's hard to think of anything within the church that could possibly fit in with the literal definition of "horrifying lies". Also to call the church a cult would be blasphemous. My assumption is that someone in the church offended you and you looked for justifications in your position to leave. It is unfortunate that the church has varying levels of conversion within it. We are all sinners after all, and some are further ahead in their salvation and understanding of the gospel than others. I'm sorry that your experience with the LDS church was not a positive one. But horrifying lies and a cult? Come on.
@@GreyFox250 a friend of mine who progressed through LDS said what he was taught was so bazaar that he left the LDS church and joined a regular christian church.
My mother a Mormon convert 1993 said we are all gods and godlings in training, ok mom if we are all gods then who will worship us she replied our children, that each Mormon man was to have multiple wives and each a duplicate planet earth to populate - where is that written in a king James bible?
@@ogeegonesoon8549 I can understand that some things are hard for people to swallow. Not just in the LDS church but anything for that matter. Sticking to just the church though, I do not have a perfect knowledge of all things and therefore don't have a perfect understanding as to why we do things that some would call Bazaar. I also have friends who have left the church because of reasons that I don't agree with, and personally find that they've decided it's convenient for them to no longer have to live a higher standard so to speak, so they leave. As far as us being gods and goddesses in training, I am also of that viewpoint, but different to your mother's. It's my understanding that it is not our children and grandchildren that worship us. They go on to become gods and goddesses as well assuming that we all inherited the same degree of the celestial kingdom to begin with. As to who will "worship" us as gods? I don't know. My assumption would be spirit children that we create in the celestial kingdom as gods/esses who then also have to obtain a physical body and then endure a mortal life, and the cycle goes on. As far as there being scripture about this in the bible, I do not think/know there is any. Full disclosure, I have not read the Bible cover to cover, so it's possible that there could be scripture regarding it, but I'm fairly certain that there isn't. My understanding of the "scriptures" or rather the "quad" is that there are four different books combined to make the "scriptures". Each book with its own unique "scope" on a subject to focus on. Old testament= the creation and history of the people and world from the beginning. New testament= story of Jesus Christ and his ministry upon the earth. Book of Mormon= A history of the American people who descended from the prophet Lehi who fled Jerusalem as instructed by God. This book also depicts the events of those people not long before the arrival of christ, until after his death. The fourth book is The pearl of great price and doctrine and covenants. This book contains many revelations and modern day commandment given to the prophet Joseph Smith for the people of the latter days. The reason you may not see the topic in question in the bible, is because it is out of the "scope" of the Bible, but in the scope of doctrine and covenants. Again I am not of a perfect understanding. I am sharing with you my view and understanding of such topics. People like to get so caught up in the details that they become lost along the way. In regards to polygamy, I do not know why God had the LDS church practice polygamy in it's early days. What I do believe is possible though, is simply a test of faith from God. As far as I know, we are not commanded to take multiple wives in the next life. It is strictly a choice. What I'm about to say is not doctrine but my own personal belief on why the idea of multiple spouses exist in the next life. I believe this happens for two reasons. In my opinion, men are much spiritualy weaker than women are. Just as women are naturally physically weaker compared to men. This is by God's design. This is why marriage between a man and woman is commanded. They make a perfect union, complement each other and compensate for each other's short comings. If you look at our prisons, they are mostly filled with men. Why is this? I believe it's because men are much more likely to succumb to the seductions of the devil, due to being spiritualy weaker than a woman. So what does it suggest about the afterlife in this scenario? There are going to be a whole lot of lonely women in need of a companion. Because we must be married to enter into the celestial kingdom, this problem leaves out many worthy women to enter the kingdom because they are not married. So what's the solution? God has prepared a way for those who CHOOSE to support more than spouse. Since Satan will be bound, and we will be perfected beings, we will no longer be corrupted by feelings of jealousy or envy, but rather gratitude and love. This is why I think the idea of plural marriage is possible and perhaps practiced in the afterlife, as it is only going to practiced by the people who CHOOSE to do so. It is NOT a requirement. I hope my testimony of these things might enlighten and inspire you to study these things on your own. After all, ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you. I say these things humbly and testify of their truth to the best of my ability at this time in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Ex Mormon here, glad to see it when others leave. Lds church is lead by those who know it's all a lie.
Glad your an X
Very good to see this.
I appreciate your post. Thank you. I have had Mormons in the last few days want to meet up with me. I want so bad to try to explain to them. That the Bible says not to take away, or add to the word. Why then should I read from the book of Mormon ? I dont... I went to their church once. Everything was going well, til someone says, prase John Smith. I tried explaining to them in church. That the Bible says, there's only one God. The whole concept is a lie. I removed myself, quietly and quickly. They need to understand. They are living a lie. But, thank you for your post.

Iam a spiritual Christian I believe the bible nothing else!
"Obsessed" is a good word for what hypnotic suggestions will do.
I fell out of Mormonism last year and got saved a few months later. I've since tried to share the gospel with lots of LDS friends and family, but I've found that (1) the Bible scares them and (2) the concept of grace -- a gift of salvation by faith alone in Jesus alone offends them. I tried the Ray Comfort method with a couple people close to me and that was a trainwreck, because they just refused to acknowledge that they were sinners. Now that I think of it, I should have focused on the sin of idolatry, but that would have required a lot of comments on the temple and a false God, which would have taken me back to the scary Bible. If I ever heard the simple gospel of grace before last year (I don't think I ever really did), I suspect I was under the influence of so much mind control and demonic spiritual influence that I don't think I would have been capable of comprehending it. Thanks to all of you folks who pray for the LDS/ex-LDS and witness to us.

@@andrew1476 Thanks.
Yeah brother, good on you. I don't know much a about Mormonism. But I think the founder of LDS, added to the Word, which in the Book Of Revelations in the very last chapters, that it is wrong to add on or take away the words written in The Word. Also that's why I didn't go through Catholic church, as it reminds me of the Pharisees back in the days of Christ when he walked on earth.
The best way to share the Gospel is with truth and love. You can't argue a person into salvation.
My wife and I were raised Mormon. We left the church 7 years ago, became atheistic and had no direction. My wife, a few years later, followed some real Christians, was taught the real gospel and got baptized. She was fully delivered and manifested as she was being walked to the baptismal waters. I followed her tracks 2 weeks later. It was then that I gave my life to Jesus. It was then that the Holy Bible, that we as Mormons were taught not to trust, started to open up with new life, and a book, that was confusing and scary, began to be the biggest love story that was ever told. How Jesus defeated death, and gave new life, to those who would believe, how each story that was written, was written for Him, even from the beginning. The main thing I was missing as a Mormon was a conviction of sin, that was the first thing the Holy Spirit convicted me of. How Holy God is. How real the Bible is. How much God loved his Word. How Jesus manifested in flesh to reconcile us to Him. Giving up my will for His will. Being spiritual born again not through works, but through the pure grace of God. There were many lies that fell away as I read the Bible, the truth reveals itself. Now, we are the only two Christians in our families and are now trying to convert them to biblical Christianity, but it has been rough. Only by the grace of God will they be converted. Keep them in your prayers and thank you Ray for keeping Mormons in your evangelism. I love you all and God bless!
Lord, show your mercy by opening his family's eyes to your truth, to your grace, to your life and I pray this also for my cousin and his family who are in this same deception
Amen amen praise Jesus!!!
No direction was your fault. I'm atheist and it's brought me sooo much more joy than religion could ever hope to touch. So liberating being freed from delusions. There is absolutely no going back.
So sad for you. Of course you feel free; you’re free to sin without worrying about the consequences. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t real. Hell is an eternity. I pray you take the Gospel and see that you’re saved by belief in Jesus Christ dying for your sins.
@@tracykarol
Not only can I "sin" and get away with it, but I don't even think what you think are sins actually are. It's wonderful. Hell was just constructed because religious control doesn't work without it. Superstitious charlatans have to give you something to be afraid of if you don't obey them. I have no fear of Hell, so their, and your, threats aren't frightening. It's liberating. The person you should be sad for is yourself. Always afraid of God's wrath. Tsk tsk.
The Mountain Meadows Massacre (September 7-11, 1857) was a series of attacks during the Utah War that resulted in the mass murder of at least 120 members of the Baker-Fancher emigrant wagon train.[1][a] The massacre occurred in the southern Utah Territory at Mountain Meadows, and was perpetrated by settlers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) involved with the Utah Territorial Militia (officially called the Nauvoo Legion) who recruited and were aided by some Southern Paiute Native Americans.[2] The wagon train, made up mostly of families from Arkansas, was bound for California, traveling on the Old Spanish Trail that passed through the Territory.
THE FACTS: It was a military operation of the Iron County Militia, a regularly constituted military division of the State of Deseret. The Mormons had left the US when they came west into Utah, unincorporated Mexican territory. They set up their own government, printed money and declared themselves independent of the federal government. With the end of the Mexican War in 1848, western lands were ceded to the US as part of that treaty. In effect, the US government followed the Mormons out to Utah. When the feds tried to impose federal authority in Utah, the State of Deseret didn't take too kindly to it. The officers that had been sent to "govern" Utah were sent packing back to Washington. The Mormons had had enough of the "constitutional" treatment afforded them in Missouri and Illinois that ended in the murder of Joseph Smith and his brother. They were in no mood to be governed by the same people who had driven and killed them. As a result of the wild tales of rebellion, President Buchanan dispatched fully 1/3 of the US military to Utah to "quash the Mormon rebellion" in 1857. Brigham Young declared martial law in the territory and the Mormons were preparing for a military assault on their community. This was the climate into which the Fancher wagon train rolled. The Mormons wouldn't trade with them because they were preparing for war. They were frustrated and threatened to go into San Bernardino and bring the troops up the southern flank of the Mormons while the army units attacked from the north. I'm no military genius but you can't have a two-front war. The wagon train was unfortunately in the middle of a conflict they couldn't control and lost their lives. As a military matter, it worked perfectly. None of those people made it to the military outpost at San Bernardino. Innocents die in war all the time. War is hell. Tragedy but understandable. The winners of war usually get to write the history and so they call this encounter a "massacre". If Washington had lost the Revolutionary War, he would have been hung as a traitor and his skirmishes would have been called "massacres"...see how it works?
They still haven't formally apologized for this massacre or provided compensation to the relatives. Evil.
@@jeffs4483 Not a massacre..BTW, Mormons are owed reparations from the states of Missouri and Illinois. Are you with me? You seem to be concerned with "fairness" and compensation...
The movie "September Dawn" is a great historical documentation !
I studied Mormonism years ago with a goal to convert. The more I read and listened to elders, the more I realized it was cult like. So glad I rejoined my God in the Christian church.
I left the LDS church and became a born again Christian 5 years ago. Soooo many differences and I’m thankful for this video to help witness to them. My family is now coming to the truth and it’s a beautiful thing to see.

Growing up hearing "Its better to reject it than to accept it and reject it". That made it difficult to walk away but when you finally realize its false doctrine, the FREEDOM is remarkable! As an ex-Mormon I am now closer to God than ever before. Being away from the church for several years I clearly see how false this religion really is. There is only ONE book and one alone, and it's the Bible. Joseph Smith stole a lot of scripture from the Bible and incorporated it into the Book of Mormon! I see this often reading my Bible. Believing in Christ is the only way, you cannot earn your way into heaven.

A few weeks ago my husband met 2 Mormon missionaries here in Germany and because he is American of course he understood what they were talking about to each other.. they talked to him and tried to invite him to their church here in our town.. but I am so glad we didn’t fall for it.
Member here. This is really sad that so many people that are a member of the LDS faith do not really understand the doctrine and it causes them to leave the church. They only understand what is taught in the culture we are all saved by the grace of God, one of us.and yeah, we also need to do our best to follow the teachings and to bring others to Christ. It is that simple. There are additional glories that come to those who are faithful, but we are all indeed saved by the grace of God.
Also ex Mormon. They told me they are Christians. I didn't know the Bible, at the time. I felt uncomfortable with their claim to be "the only true church". I thought that couldn't be true, in light of all the other churches, so I left to continue my search. Then I was called to faith in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
I left a couple of Million Dollar Gospel of Johns at a LDS church tonight as I was driving home from my community group. The timing behind the upload of this video wasn’t a coincidence-it’s God’s way of giving me hope that a Mormon will find them and come to the TRUE Jesus!
Did you go in the church or outside?
(I have gone in LDS churches and left tracts. Not the million dollar Johns yet.)
Good work brother,

They have a covered pavilion with picnic tables, at the nearest LDS church, that I have left a variety of tracts at.
They have no security or greeter teams or cameras at 3 LDS churches that I have gone into. (about every 6 months.) So, I can walk around and leave tracts in the classrooms, etc..

I wish I could get this thru my friend's head. She tries so hard to earn her way to heaven.🥺
Please pray for my ex girlfriend, and her family as well. She is a part of Church of Christ Iglesia Ni Cristo. It is another cultish church. We broke up because I could not convert. They believe Jesus was man and is works based religion. I still love her and care for her very much. I pray that she accepts Jesus as God and leaves the church.

"So which planet do I get?"

"So which one of your wives was my mommy in the preexistence?"
"Joseph Smith, the LDS Church and Satan said that I could become a God one day. So how does that work?"

Oh brother. I was raised a Mormon, served a mission, but now I am a Christian? LMAO I am a former missionary.
There is one thing I learned on my mission: "One person's superstition is another person's religion. And so was mine."
Gods need people more than people need gods. People without gods are still people. Gods without people cease to exist.
There are no gods. No devils. Religion is the big con.
I was LDS for 24 years. Left in 2017.
It was a hard church to live. The (then) three hour church attendances were long and draining and I just wanted to get home.
Some people there were not engaging, and were difficult to bond with. The day I left, there were people there whom I'd never spoken to from day one.
The infuriating thing is, once I left, they wouldn't leave me alone. I threatened legal action if they didn't stop phoning, texting or visiting my house or place of employment.
I now go to an Anglican church, and am very happy. It's still important for me to have Christ and church people in my life to provide a good example and social circle to my life. It allows me to serve others.
I still don't drink and smoke or do illicit drugs. Good health is as important now as it's always been.
Glad you saw the light now I am so glad that there are a lot of former LDS membership God bless you.
I don't know if this is done by all LDS churches but they do what they call "home teaching " or " home visits " every week. I was married to a mormon once & it always struck me as though they were keeping tabs on each other as well as always keeping their faces before those who had quit going to the church trying to lure them back. But mostly it was to keep tabs on one another. I'm not surprised they hounded you so much.
@@angelvpineda8148
Thank you 😊
Being in a mainstream church has brought me back to life. You still have a spiritual existence without the silly excessive amounts of rules and beliefs that no other churches bother with. Not buying fuel on Sunday or drinking tea for example. And tithing was a nuisance.
@@karenmessinger9609
Yeah home teaching was one that my ward had difficulty keeping up to date. We were organised in pairs to visit assigned families every week or two from memory, but different church members often didn't have the time during the week, and was an unpopular and neglected role for many.
Once I left, I was pestered by missionaries and senior members constantly.
And I digress:- my ward was full of divorced people once married to each other. Divorce seems very common in the church. Not sure if it's despite the church or because of it.
I was just never happy there and couldn't settle into it.
Many and most of churches are lack of Talented Preacher/Talker who can attract most the audience, if the long-hours attending means most of the activity to be Docile/ tamed shepherds, at least the Spiritual Guidance in front of us, shall be a rather challenging/ interesting ones (doesnt need to be charming?) But better be more educataining., Without this, very hard to find the point of just singing and praying altogether..(but anyway, its better than not attending at all ?!?) Getting along with s'body else, ..just smiling, smiling and plain/simple greeting and shallow hand-shaking/or hugging..oh i ' m not pretending..how come You re so such Rude.!?!
Former Mormon here. The true, Bibilcal understaning of the Gospel will change you when you take the time to read and study who God is (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). I pray for my family to be saved and come to the true salvation in Christ through the Gospel as taught in the Bible.
New Covenant Whole Gospel:
Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14.
Awaken Church to this truth.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (Acts 2:36)
I’m an ex-Mormon but so many mainstream Christian denominations turn me off. I was raised in the cult and have been out for nearly 20 years. However, every time I open the Bible my eyes glaze over.

Ex Mormon, here in Romania. I had enough about Mormons talks like, "us saints" so in the end I came to my senses and got back to orthodox faith the right place for a sinner like me. As for the Book of Mormon, check this out, Galatians I.6,7:"Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Over the last 2 years, I've met 4 different sets of elders at my door. I am very clear with them that I cannot accept The Book of Mormon as scripture, but if they want to talk with me about the Bible, I'm more than willing to do so. These elders are so far from home at such a young age, and they are serving God in their sacrifice, and demonstrating obedience in terms of their faith. I've enjoyed so much getting to know each elder, and they have been willing to explore the Bible with me. I've explained that I am here with my support of their mission in terms of their devotion/dedication. I've encouraged them to stop by if they have a bad day with lots of doors slammed in their faces, or worse. (One set of them actually had a gun poked out of a door at them!) I also have a pot belly pig named Penelope, and the word is out about her. The elders love meeting her and having their photos taken with her. This makes me happy. What surprises me is that each one of them has a different level of knowledge about the Bible. Some know very little, others know it very well. No matter what, I offer them my emotional support and prayers because this is what my faith instructs me to do. I don't have to agree with the Book of Mormon or the LDS faith to be kind. It isn't "us" vs. "them." It's accepting each other as children of God. Period.
This is very nice thinking. But it’s not who we accept, it’s what God through the work of His Son accepts as good and faithful servants. That is, grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
@@jeanmarie4507 I understand, and I also understand that Jesus commanded us to "Love One Another." I'm not going to Heaven based on my works. I'm going because I'm saved by the blood of Christ. I get it. Our acceptance of others IS important to God. It doesn't mean we accept their beliefs. Part of my point in studying ONLY the Bible with them is the hope of leading them to salvation. It's more than "nice thinking."
They wouldn't come around unless they thought they could convert you
That is their policy
You’re awesome.
I served LDS mission and have tons of friends from many other denominations.
“When two or more are gathered in His name.”
Reading the Bible as friends is awesome even if people don’t go to the same congregation on Sundays. People can minister so much to each other and bless each other even if the see things a bit differently.
Only the Lord can judge, but I’d bet He is pretty happy with your kindness.

So sad, my heart breaks for everyone in cult bondage. I’ve known several LDS, great people, and one day at work A. announced with delight “we have 5K Commandments!” I responded “my sweet friend, no one can keep the 10 God gave us originally!”She was an incredible employee, if every company had A’s as employees, there’d be nothing but success! Religion is a man-made construct. Nothing can replace the gift of Jesus’ love & atonement sacrifice, and unlike what that young man said gifts are given, no strings attached - you can’t earn it, you don’t even have to open the gift as it’s freely given…
This man gets it. He understands the true message of the gospel. Sir, keep witnessing to these lost people. No one could reach them better than someone who has lived it. Bless you.
What an infantile pant load. Grow up.
Can you say oops?
Keep witnessing to these lost people??Who is lost?? Latter-day Saints have the restored gospel. The Apostle John said of those who left the Church: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” (1John 2:19).
Did you leave the Church and exposed it? I don’t think so. You exposed yourself that you were not really one of us.
@@jimbomanzano5743
The 'restored' gospel? Restored by who? Joseph Smith? The Mormon religion is a cult.
Revelation 22:18-19
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.
And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
They who left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints didn’t fully understand what the restored gospel is all about and why there was a need for a restoration. The apostle Paul gave an insight to this in 2Thessalonians 2:1-3: “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.”
Apostasy began to creep in early into the church, even during the days of the original apostles. Paul gave an insight to this in Acts 20:29-30: “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.”
ExMormon here. This video really hits well and what he spoke is spot on. It’s hard to explain to non-believers how deep Mormonism runs in the culture, family and mentality. Leaving it is impossible because it will always linger behind you either through family members or physiological triggers.
Keep praying and God will help us
Absolutely it's hard to unlearn. The way someone is raised in a religion can shape the way they think and act. Took me a long time to stop feeling like everything is sinful.
Leaving anything or anyone is not impossible. Because pure and simple, God can be your only true friend. Your brother, father, mother, everything. People are so scared for the dumbest reasons, If you continually got hit or attacked, would you not call the police? Of course, but you are so being a wuss and not telling people you are leaving their church?? Our future leaders of the world and next generation are deeply afraid!
Amen brother but all we got to do is just pray for all of those still stuck behind enemy lines with the LDS just put it in the hands of God and pray for the ones you love that are still LDS.
Yes, I agree. I've been an ex mormon since 1987. I am happy in life and am a Christian, but the culture, and mentality still run deep. I still have a hard time accepting God's grace at times and have a hard time accepting that I am saved. I still have that voice in the background in my head that questions if God really will save me. Am I good enough? I never felt like I would ever be good enough in the LDS faith. I'm mostly over it, but sometimes things trigger that feeling. Also, since I started going to church when I was five, it definitely leaves an impact. I had wonderful friends growing up in the church, but they abandoned me when I left. That was hard. Sometimes, I remember the good times I had with them, and it makes me nostalgic and miss being a mormon at times. I do miss the sense of community and family I had.
Such a great video. Praise God, this man saw the truth!
Reminds me of Romans 10, when Paul writes about how the Jews "have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
This couldn't come at a better time. I am actively being recruited by the LDS. I called my dad and asked him if I should rebuke the 2 young ladies and share the gospel with them, or just be friendly and polite. HE TOLD ME...PRESENT THE GOSPEL, AND PRESENT LIVING WATERS TO THEM. I cannot believe this video came onto my feed! I've been pondering how I am going to approach the young ladies w the gospel...I'm going in boldly. Jesus doesn't give a spirit of fear, maybe they will hear me out. I'm bringing this video too. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
The missionaries probably don’t have time or access to UA-cam videos. It’s nice of you to respectfully share your beliefs with them rather than bombard them with anti-Mormon material though. They probably won’t budge however
I have had the same done. They told me that they loved how I loved God and that he brought them to me for a reason. So I told them that God didn't bring them there for their gospel, He brought them to me so we could talk about Him. They twice tried to tell to just pray about the book. So I finally told them, God already told me no, and that it wasn't true. They just accepted it. I'm trying to find the right way to witness to them. They know my stance, but I'm going to be bolder too. Like you.
@@Servant_of_Yeshua96 I’d probably just let them go and live their own lives as they chose. I’m never one to try to force my beliefs onto anyone else. Eventually is just comes across as religious intolerance. Their mission leaders move them around every 6 weeks, and will most likely tell them to cut off contact with you if you’re wasting their time.
@@NauvooExpositor It's not that I would force Jesus onto anyone, but if given the opportunity we are to be ready to give someone the gospel. If God leads me to speak, I shall speak. But in my experience God gives me different ways to deliver the gospel depending on the person. I don't know how he does it, but he does. If they don't receive I just walk away, but even then God is working. If someone allows me I will tell them the truth with as much live as possible. If I don't approach those who believe in something that leads to spiritual darkness, I am just as much of the problem.
LDS members literally read the gospel quite often. Their is definitely a lot of stuff messed up in the LDS church, but presenting them the gospel is not gonna be a new thing to them. They just have it plus the pearl of great price and the book of Mormon, but members do regular bible reading too.
Amen! That is exactly chat happened with me. I put my faith in the word of God and I was reborn. Completely new creature
I left the Mormon church when my doctor put me on medication. That should tell something.✝
I didn't want to be rude and invited some Mormons into my house once. They stopped by once a week for 6 months. I just had to stop answering the door after 2 months. They kept trying though.
Ex mormon here - born and raised mormon, served a mission, went through the temple. I am grateful to God he saved me out of it and bestowed his Grace upon me. Mormonism is a sinister cult but the members dont know that. They dont know that the false LDS gospel will lead them to hell.
Yep, same with me a former RCC member.
Do you have any example? All they teach me is to be nice love others. Follow the example of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Christianity in general is a cult hate to break it to you
@@bradychristensen9611 The problem Brady is that the LDS church contradicts God's Word. The third article of faith contradicts Galatians 2:16. The LDS church states you need to be obedient to the law and ordinances to be saved. The Bible teaches that faith in Christ is what saves you (Ephesians 2:8-9), your final resting place is determined by faith in Christ and nothing else. All have sinned and there is none righteouss (Romans 3:10, 23), there is a penalty for sin (Rev 20:15), while you were yet a sinner, Christ died for you (Rom 5:8), believe in Christ alone with your whole heart and you will be saved (Romans 10:9, 13).
Same here. I was in the Mormon church for 30 years, and the Lord Jesus Himself rescued me from such a confusion. He saved me, and gave a dream that other books were to be put in a trash bag. Religion is bondage and Jesus is freedom! Praise the Lord, I am free today.
You plagued us with your presence for three decades and now you denigrate your former faith. Keep bashing the honestly held faith of millions...I'm sure Jesus would approve.

The serpent used the same line, “you will be like gods”. How could so many fall for that? So,sad. Pray for them to hear the truth of the Gospel.
David Alexander is an example of humble, now he is member of The Church of Jesus Christ!
unfortunately I can't get my family to leave the Mormon church luckily the lord opened my eyes and I left the church thank you lord 🙏
I’m in the same boat. My parents and siblings lament about how I am “lost”. All we can do is continue to pray and speak the Truth.
Amen I hope both of your families see the light and the false teachings of the LDS Church and come to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ just like the two of you did. Just remember don't give up on them keep them in prayer with your brothers and sisters wherever you guys are congregating that put them in prayer and have faith in God.
@@angelvpineda8148 👍🙂
Keep in prayer for your family and speak truth and kindness to them as gently but relentlessly as possible! I have been softly witnessing to a dear friend for almost a decade and have recently felt encouraged because I think she's stopped talking to me for a while -- I believe I said a few things over the past year that have started to sink in and it has probably shaken her.
Do not give up! I praise God for opening your eyes and pray that He will walk with you and guide you in how to minister to your loved ones! 🙏🏻❤
Never give up
The part I loved was when he said "One thing I know for sure is that I am born again." Me too, me too!
Me too! And strictly bc I recognized my need for a savior in Christ Jesus. I cannot imagination being part of a religion that never allows one to have assurance of salvation and that my works or good deeds get me to some level of heaven. And, hitler in any level of heaven, no! God bless you.
How can someone be born again and remain Mormon?
Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God,” and “Except a man be born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3,5).
In the early church of Jesus Christ, the members were called saints. How did one become a member then? When the Apostles preached, those who believed repented of their sins, were baptized by immersion and received the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands by those authorized to do so. (See Acts 2:38,41, Acts 8:14-17, Romans 6:3,4). This is being born again, a newness of life.
The 4th Article of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints states: “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.”
The Latter-day Saints are born again Christians. We are guided by living apostles and prophets in these latter-days. We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his Apostles: “Love your neighbor as yourself, Keep my commandments, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, Love one another, Forgive one another, etc.”
@@jimbomanzano5743 I am puzzled how Mormons can adhere to such excellent tenets of Biblical faith, yet also embrace such bizarre notions as anticipating themselves to become equal to Christ, even when knowing that "all" authority is given to Jesus, in heaven and on earth.
And any fantasy that there is--or will--be life on any other planet only mocks God, who foretold in Revelation that the earth will be renovated by fire, and heaven will be establish on earth, with a new Jerusalem. Earth is God's sole jewel in the universe. Adding to Revelation only invites the woes described therein.
Our loving Father does not withhold important information from His children. Scripture is clear that we are made "a little lower than angels." Our spiritual rebirth does not endow us with deity, and deity cannot be less than omnipotent, omnicient and omnipresent. We will always be alittle lower than angels: nothing in Holy Writ even remotely intimates otherwise.
I was baptized in the Mormon Church 22 yrs ago but left about 5 yrs ago due to judgment gossip and prejudice from other members. That isn’t is a bit Christian to me
Current member of the LDS faith here. He JUST SAID the first book in our "quad" was the bible. We study it AT LENGTH. Am I still learning from the bible at my current age things I didn’t know as a child? OF COURSE! (I was reading in 1st Kings last night, and I'm still wrestling with understanding it). It's not all gonna stick in childhood. But I know for a fact that my kids can go toe to toe on bible facts with any Sunday school in any Christian denomination around. To pretend the LDS church doesn't teach the bible is false and absurd.
Ok. How about everything else that he said? Like what salvation roots in for example.
@nanapelletier4132 salvation is rooted in Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon teaches this. (Even the verse that is always thrown up as proof that we believe in works is CLEARLY a verse preaching that salvation is through Jesus Christ).
My understanding about grace versus works is like the story of the prodigal son. Through grace, we are his children and receive his inheritance. We do nothing to earn it. However, if we leave his presence and disobey him, we turn our inheritance to dust (aka the prodigal son who received his inheritance yet envyed the pigs). It is only by coming back to His presence and His work (the prodigal son coming back to his father and his land) that there is joy in salvation.
Is there anything unbiblical about that?
