Testimony of L.T.
At this point, it is hard for me to remember the past without comparing it to the present. But, I think, maybe a series of anecdotes will help pull together a story of how I came to leave Mormonism, and why. When I was 5 years old, I remember getting into a fight with my…

The Nicene Creed and the Invention of the Trinity?
When it comes to the Godhead of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, there have been many theories about whether or not the Christian concept of the Trinity is true. Both Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons will attack the Trinity as being “incomprehensible” and therefore “illogical.” Too often these folks like to aim their…

Should Christians Stay in Manipulative Interfaith Relationships?
Suppose you are in a dialog with someone over the most important things in all of reality–eternal life and the heart and holiness and the heinousness of sin and the glory of God and the nature of deity and the worship of the Creator and the promise of everlasting joy for believers and the future…

Testimony of a Former Polygamist: Out of Polygamy, Into Christ
I was born and raised in one of many groups of people who practice polygamy as their way to heaven and to eternal exaltation. All my life I was taught that the "god with whom we have to do" was a tyrant, with a celestial whip, ready and anxious to punish, hurt and humiliate those…

Testimony of Lane Thuet
I was born and raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My Mother was raised in this Church also, and she converted my Father before they married. They had a civil service, and then one year later they were sealed in the Los Angeles temple. I was their fourth and last natural…

Testimony of Dave Smith
As a young man growing up in the 50’s, I would have considered my life as normal. I played ball, chased girls, and attended a mainline church with my family. At age 16 I attended a Billy Graham Crusade, went forward and accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. When I shared this with my…

Testimony of Carolyn Sexauer: My Testimony of the Gospel of the Grace of God
Since that wonderful day when I gave up tying to reconcile the teachings of Mormonism with the Word of God, as found in the Bible, and was "born again" of the Spirit, I have been happier than ever before in my life, and have known in full measure "the peace of God that passeth all…

Testimony of Betty McGill: Mormonism Could Not Save Me
I write this for one reason and no other – and that is to tell you just what my experience has been. May I say that mine is not an unusual or isolated experience, but it has been the experience of millions who have trusted Christ for their salvation, and who believe that the Bible…

Testimony of Gail Clark – Challenged by a Christian Colleague
As a child I never had religion in the home my parents were never interested in anything to do with religion. Between the ages of 10-11 I attended Sunday school at a local Anglican Church. I found the church very boring and by the time I was twelve I decided the Church was dead. In…

Testimony of Art Budvarson – Founder of Utah Christian Tract Society
I was a member of the Mormon Church until one day I appeared at a Bishop’s Court and requested that my name as a member be removed from the records of the Church. Approximately eight years before this time, I was discussing the Bible with a friend who was a Christian. I told him that…

Testimony of Loren Franck – Former Missionary
Why did I leave the Mormon church? After all, Mormons seem so clean-cut, sincere and hardworking. A convert to Mormonism, I renounced the church 11 years after joining because it’s not what it claims to be. Masquerading as the only true Church of Jesus Christ, it’s merely another man-made religion. And while Mormons often mean…

[Introduction: The following testimony was published in the May 22, 1994 edition of the Arizona Republic newspaper. Mr. Barrett has kindly granted his permission for MRM to reprint it. Even though his story may seem by some to be dated, there is much we can learn from it today. His story refutes the myth that…

Testimony of John Divito
Raised in the Mormon faith, John Divito gradually became agnostic, prioritizing college over a mission. After researching Mormonism, he found the church’s teachings untrue and ultimately embraced Christ, experiencing a spiritual transformation and a commitment to serving God.

Mormonism’s Paid Ministry
I can’t begin to number all of the times the argument of a “paid ministry” has been used by the zealous Latter-day Saint to “prove” his church as true. Many feel that a compensated ministry is proof that an apostasy exists among many of the Bible-believing denominations. It seems that, while many Latter-day Saints believe…

The Athanasian Creed
Listen We worship one God in trinity, and trinity in unity, neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance. For the person of the Father is one; of the Son, another; of the Holy Spirit, another. But the divinity of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is one, the glory…

Are Christians More Concerned About Doctrine Than Obedience?
A friend once said, “I think LDS see us this way though – more concerned about right belief than right living.” First, let me make clear that in the common Mormon mind, the alternative to this is being more concerned about right living than right belief. This thinking has essentially produced a kind of postmodernism…
