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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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 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.
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.
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.

@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:”

Mormons do not use cross symbol because they do not believe that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial atonement death. For them message of cross is stumbling block. 1.Cor.1ch.
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.
@@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.

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!
@@PhyreReighn 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.
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"
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.

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.
Go to Grace To You website and use the search engine there to find sermons and articles/blogs about Jesus and His Word - it is filled with truth that will encourage you and help you on your journey. So happy for you! Do not be discouraged!
It is like recovering from a lengthy and abusive marriage.....leaving a well contained cruise ship and going out on an ocean in a dingy in the middle of a raging storm; but the Lord walks on water in storms and commands the sea to be still.
I was raised Mormon as well and come from a huge well known family. John Doyle Lee who had 19 wives and approximately 65 children is my Great Great Grandfather. I was a Temple Mormon to I was 26 years old. Left the church and God was merciful to me when I was 32 and HE brought me to the truth of the Gospel and true salvation. Being Born Again!!! Thank you Jesus!! I wrote a book: My Legacy of Sin, Shattered in a Moment by EFFI... pin name Exposing the LDS church.
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.
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! ✝️🙏
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?"
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.
@@andrew1476 what spiritual warfare? Do you even know what spirit is? I don't think so. You should Google and find out how many different thing's spirit means in Hebrew. ⚛
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❤️✝️
@@LivingWaters 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. 😀
Please keep on the full armor of God. This religion is a dangerous cult that is not founded on the Word of God. Be ye not decieved. Joseph Smith was decieved by satan himself. "The devil will come to you as an Angel of light"
@@primabellas6856 not true. They shun ex-mormons, cause families to break up and even cause marriages to break apart. They are rude and snarky in the comment section. They out right lie to us about what they do behind locked doors. last but not least the feel superior to Mainstream Christians and consider us lost and going to hell for not believing in their adulterate stone seer's fairytales.
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.
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.
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
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.
Is a lord Jesus Christ sister Stephanie let's just pray that your family comes along a little bit quicker and leaves the LDS community happy Resurrection Sunday sister welcome to the flock.
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.
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
Awsome video! Ex mormon here too...was 3rd generation mormon until my brother n sister n law who are Christians showed me a class that was going on about mormonism n Christianity n the differences...never looked back! Keep up the good work!
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!!!
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.
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
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.
Ex Mormon as well ! Reading the Bible and prayer lead me away from that practice. I couldn’t be more at peace. Only way to the Father is through the son ❤
Few seem to understand the importance of the ability to pray directly to G-d. Centuries of Revolution to not have to pray through the King, the Pope... in the Name of Jesus Christ. Not through Him.
@@johnlee1352 It sounds like you are weak and confused. You wonder why Latter day Saints are ridiculed. Imagine standing before an infinitely holy and righteous God, still in your sins having refused his mercy and saying, "Joseph Smith said that if I followed all the laws and ordinances of the LDS church I could have my own planet and my own harem of women." "So which planet do I get?" "So where are all these women he promised me?" "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?" And then Christ will say to you, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23 Eternity is a long time to be wrong.
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!
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.
@@charlescresap4451 a group of Mormons coned my father in law out of tens of thousands of dollars. Just like your failed prophet coned his neighborhood treasure digging. Just like he conned you with the same rock in the hat conjob.
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.
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)
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.
“You don’t get something for nothing, ever”. And that my friend, is the beautiful part about Jesus. He gave us something for nothing. Now we give him everything because we trust him, not because he demands our works.
There is some truth to what he said Conditional gifts 💝 exist However, Matthew 5:45 is an example of getting something for nothing as well as acts 17:25
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.
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.!?!
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!
@@vinniebasile9404 Thanks. 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..
X-morman went on a misson was ready to do mission after mission but my first 9 months was so hard I went home. Searched for truth found in at Calvary Chapel, now very happy!!
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!
And just like the catholics who’s god is Mary. 99% of my family are catholics and believe that the only way to The Father is through Mary. They really need prayer.🙏
@@yourredemptiondrawethnigh2342, don't ever stop praying for them. They need the vail lifted off their eyes. And He alone can do it. Keep your faith in Him. May God bless you exceedingly. Praise God !
You may not be where you would like to be. But, thank God, your not who you was. Very happy for you. Keep in the word and prayer. You'll be blessed for sure. And you can't be plucked from His hands. Thank you Jesus.
This video has helped me think through some things I would ask and answer with in conversation with LDS believer. I think I am no longer afraid of having these conversations. It's been a long "thinking" journey and this video has really just gelped solidify how I'd have those conversations and not be afraid to have them or even initiate them. Thank you for sharing~♡
I'm ex Mormon also. So thankful that God brought me through that. Difficult when I first came out as its hard to break away from the 'Mormon Head' as my also ex Mormon now christian friend used to call out. So grateful for the grace of God in Christ. Pray for all Mormons.
@@mekavio8231 The problem mekavio 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).
@@glennjohn3919 how much value are these verses to you ? you've quoted ephesians... how much are these verses the true word of god himself ?? and not made by some religious fanatic jew in the iron age ??? have you looked at Ephesians 5-8 verse 9 ??? what is your view on this ? what does it lack ??? or is it PURE in its MOST true form the good word of the true god ???
Ray, this was, by far, _the best_ Living Waters video I've ever seen you do, and you've done some pretty incredible interviews. Such an informative and eye opening interview as to what Mormons believe, and from an ex-Mormon. If I were a Mormon right now, I would be on my knees repenting to God for my sins and seeking his glorious mercy and forgiveness. Thanks for this wonderful interview. Hope you'll do another one featuring an ex-Jehovah's Witness. Who better to hear from than from someone who's actually been one. God bless you, Ray, and everyone at Living Waters.
I agree Mormons should be on their knee and I try to get on my knee often. I realize you think I am confused but one thing I am confused about is why you don't consider me (a Mormon) a Christian. Everything that the born again movement has put out on what makes you a Christian I a Mormon agree with.
Ex mormon here as well. This was excellent. Now saved, born again believer in Jesus. Missionary and church planter of a gospel centered church in France. Jesus heals. He repairs the bad doctrine. I just kept reading the bible. Particularly the Old Testament and Romans and He renewed my mind. He showed me the truth. I pray for repentance in the Mormon church. I pray the leaders will repent and turn the church to Jesus and His grace alone.
Hallelujah it's spring blessings from heaven from the Holy Spirit I am so stoked to see a lot of former LDS membership welcome to the family of God brothers and sisters God bless you.
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.
What are you saved from? What does Salvation mean to you if all you are worried about is either going to hell or going to heaven?? Only two places in your book. What is that... 50/50 Chance? You will find out one day... but it will most likely be after you are dead.
@@MrNirom1Salvation is being saved from the punishment, wrath of God, and being thrown into the lake of fire. Jesus paid the price for our sin-debt that we owed God. Before Jesus offered up His Spirit on the cross, He said,”It is finished”. The debt for mankind’s sin had been satisfying to God. Therefore, whosoever shall put their whole trust in Jesus Christ and make Him Lord, you shall not perish but have everlasting life. You have ASSURANCE of Salvation by the Holy Spirit who is the guarantor of our salvation. We then immediately have Christ Jesus, God Almighty, and the Holy Spirit living in us to guide us as we live on earth and are now fully equipped to “go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” We can have life and have it abundantly through Christ Jesus! Hallelujah! He came to set the captives free from our bondage of slavery to sin!
@@MrNirom1 salvation means eternal life. Eternal life means you are saved from eternal darkness. We all find out, but Christians know TODAY, not guessing, not assuming or even wondering they are saved. We know TODAY we are saved. We have this thing called a "blessed assurance". 1 John 5:11-13: _“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God _*_so that you may know_*_ that you have eternal life”_ Who is it that has the Son? It is those who have believed in Him (John 1:12). If you have Jesus, you have life. Not temporary life, but eternal. And, according to 1 John 5:13, you can know that you have this eternal life. Not from guessing, but knowing.
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."
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.
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 🙏✨
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
All other churches are broken off from the Catholic church which is false. The Catholics took at least 30 books out of the Bible. That's why hundreds of churches cannot agree with the Bible. that's why the book of Mormon was needed.

This guy gets it! Please pray for my dad and his siblings to come to the same saving faith of the true Jesus! 🥺 It grieves me when I hear his and other cult members' confusion. 💔
@@martinkent333 I'm praying for you too, and for the hell-bound clergy of the nonbiblical religion of Catholicism. God has done more than let us suffer from the acts of free will of others. He's killed billions of people as result of sin, and it is a wonder why a just God is also so merciful as to allow sinners to live so long, even sinful women who pay people to torture and murder (a sin even worse than rape) their children in abortion clinics. But that's part of God's nature: patience and mercy. He gives us a chance to be redeemed so we won't get what we deserve (eternal torment). He sends the Holy Spirit to change our nature and turn sinners into Christians. Isn't it wonderful?
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.
@@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).
I had 2 missionaries at my door, I gave them Micah Wilder's book Passport To Heaven, told them he was a wonderful young man who had been a Mormon missionary that I had met and heard sing and play such lovely music. Micah was led to the cross by a Baptist pastor, I'm hoping his book will lead these 2 men there also. I bought another copy of his book; ready for the next 2 that knock.
I was raised baptist and they were the most hypocritical people I have ever met. In the baptist church I went to there were different opinions on the trinity being the truth or there being three separate people.
Yes! I too have Passport to Heaven and have it sitting on my desk. I have prayed for months for the Lord to bring an LDS missionary to me to whom I could gift this book! I am still waiting.
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.
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.
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.
Praise the Lord. God is great. What advice do u give speaking to Mormons that they will wake up? I tell them to read the bible. They are being so deceived.
For two decades you were just a poser in the church. You never believed. Thank you so much for taking your weakness and confusion out of the Lord's church.
@@marygreen2672 I follow them both. You are weak. You haven't the strength or commitment to be a Mormon. Admit it and move on. You're good at pretending...get into one of those little praise the lord, pass the plate churches and pretend you don't know better. Keep it up for a couple of decades like you did with the Mormons. When they start to demand something of you, you can just leave again. A great system for the feckless and faithless.
We need so many more young men like this. We need so many more young women like this. That would be called to christ and the gospel amen young man amen
Thank you for this video! Seeing all the comments from former LDS who are now born again gives me so much joy. Praise God for the true Gospel in the Bible!
While I am not a Mormon, nor have I been in the past, I can only imagine the pain/fear/feeling of uncertainty of leaving the LDS church that you and your parents/grandparents/etc. are/were a part of. I admire their bravery.
Ex-Modern Christian. Now am a member of Christ church and kingdom, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I love my fellow man and those of all faiths and those not of any religion. It's my life's work to bring all unto Christ through his kingdom on earth. I feel sorry for this man who lost the truth for the world. Will pray for him that is takes off satans shackles and comes back to Christ.
This is one of my favorite episodes, I absolutely love to be able to listen to people who are intelligent and wise and well-spoken speak their experiences and what they understand to be true. This is why I love to listen to guys like John MacArthur, RC Sproul, Ray Comfort, Carter Conlon, etc.
Praise God for this young man discovering the truth in spite of his religious history. God is SO faithful to forgive us our sins and to SAVE us. Blessed ASSURANCE. 🙏🏼
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.
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.
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.
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! 🙏🏻❤
@IannaLovely2022 The LDS church departed from the faith. God used to be a man on another planet, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321; Joseph Smith, Times and Seasons, vol. 5, p. 613-614; Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 345; Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 333). “The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s . . . ” (D&C 132:20). God is in the form of a man, (Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 3). “God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see,” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345). God the Father had a Father, (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 476; Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 19; Milton Hunter, First Council of the Seventy, Gospel through the Ages, p. 104-105). God resides near a star called Kolob, (Pearl of Great Price, p. 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428). God had sexual relations with Mary to make the body of Jesus, (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, 1857, p. 218; vol. 8, p. 115). “Therefore we know that both the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body . . . of flesh and bones,” (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 38).
Ray, every time I start to stray away from The Lord, somehow a video of yours always pops up and motivates me like crazy. Jesus uses these videos brother, it’s such a cool thing to think about. Much love Ray, hope you have a great day brother!

This content and his testimony is a breath fresh air for other Mormons who are being blinded and manipulated by the enemy to believe in not the truth but lies. Jesus himself was opening eyes to the blind 2000 years ago. Healing the blind not only works literally but also spiritually. God bless you. 👍
I wouldn't say lies. They mention the 3 Kingdoms which are all Heaven. The confusion is Mormon are hoping to get in the top Kingdom most Christian are fine with the lower levels that can be attained by simple faith and receiving the Grace of our lord Jesus Christ. Most Christian believe that Heaven is a equivalent to hell based on the believe that you are in a state of Damnation. Mormon do not believe this and know that we will have the opportunity to continue in our progression.
@@bradychristensen9611  💕❤️ That’s not even close to what we believe. We believe the Holy Bible 100%. We don’t think Heaven is the equivalent to hell. Hell is a terrible place of torcher damnation punishment; Whereas Heaven is a sublime magnificent wonderful place: a blissful paradise; and we can only get to Heaven through Jesus Christ, who is King of kings & Lord of lords, the Alps and Omega, the First and the Last, Creator of everything; the Almighty God. One God, that make up there divine persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Blessed be His Name. 1 Corinthians 2:9. (KJV) “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” Revelation 21:1-8 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. May the Holy Spirit lead you to Him, through His Holy Word the Holy Bible. God bless you.
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 TH-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.
Satan deceives in many ways. I was brought up in the Mormon church. My family goes back to Brigham Young. I’m what they call the black sheep of the family. Glad to be! God touched my heart with the truth in many ways to get me to understand why I believed what I believed. God revealed his WORD clearly to me and I know we are saved by Grace and not of our own doing! God is so good!
Thank you for sharing this video, Ray. We as followers and believers in Jesus Christ as Lord must keep praising for the LDS folks. Also, the Catholics! I only add this bc I came out of that religion, as well. Pray for all to come to Christ! God bless! 🙏❤️
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!
"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.
Such an intelligent and impressive young man. I love hearing how he was reached through R.C. Sproul. It was the same for me!
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 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.

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.

@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;

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 yes I agree… a channel on TH-cam the truthunedited talked about this last week, and in his description box he left a pdf that you can download to see the difference between the different bible and the bible verses and what has been changed and taken out. So you can head over to his channel and download it from the description box… so next time you can share it with someone else. Hope it helps.

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?
"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

@@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.
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.
Ex Mormon as well ! Reading the Bible and prayer lead me away from that practice. I couldn’t be more at peace. Only way to the Father is through the son ❤
Thanks for leaving so we didn't have to throw you out.
Few seem to understand the importance of the ability to pray directly to G-d. Centuries of Revolution to not have to pray through the King, the Pope...
in the Name of Jesus Christ. Not through Him.
@@jennpage3976 If you're weak and confused then I invite you to leave...no, I insist.
@@johnlee1352 It sounds like you are weak and confused. You wonder why Latter day Saints are ridiculed.
Imagine standing before an infinitely holy and righteous God, still in your sins having refused his mercy and saying, "Joseph Smith said that if I followed all the laws and ordinances of the LDS church I could have my own planet and my own harem of women."
"So which planet do I get?"
"So where are all these women he promised me?"
"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?"
And then Christ will say to you, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23
Eternity is a long time to be wrong.

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.
@@charlescresap4451 a group of Mormons coned my father in law out of tens of thousands of dollars. Just like your failed prophet coned his neighborhood treasure digging. Just like he conned you with the same rock in the hat conjob.

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.
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)
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.
I am no longer a mormon and am so blessed by my Lord and Savior, to be born again.
Well said.

“You don’t get something for nothing, ever”. And that my friend, is the beautiful part about Jesus. He gave us something for nothing. Now we give him everything because we trust him, not because he demands our works.
Christianity is so outstanding on this point - can't be man made religion.
There is some truth to what he said
Conditional gifts 💝 exist
However, Matthew 5:45 is an example of getting something for nothing as well as acts 17:25
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.!?!
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!

Thanks for this wonderful interview. Hope you'll do another one featuring an ex-Jehovah's Witness. Who better to hear from than from someone who's actually been one.
God bless you, Ray, and everyone at Living Waters.
The best thing about being a Christian is the naked altar boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree Mormons should be on their knee and I try to get on my knee often. I realize you think I am confused but one thing I am confused about is why you don't consider me (a Mormon) a Christian. Everything that the born again movement has put out on what makes you a Christian I a Mormon agree with.
Ex mormon here as well. This was excellent. Now saved, born again believer in Jesus. Missionary and church planter of a gospel centered church in France. Jesus heals. He repairs the bad doctrine. I just kept reading the bible. Particularly the Old Testament and Romans and He renewed my mind. He showed me the truth. I pray for repentance in the Mormon church. I pray the leaders will repent and turn the church to Jesus and His grace alone.
Hallelujah it's spring blessings from heaven from the Holy Spirit I am so stoked to see a lot of former LDS membership welcome to the family of God brothers and sisters God bless you.
Lol, is it grace alone or is it repentance?
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.
It’s not by works of righteousness but by his grace alone that we are complete in him .
What are you saved from? What does Salvation mean to you if all you are worried about is either going to hell or going to heaven?? Only two places in your book. What is that... 50/50 Chance? You will find out one day... but it will most likely be after you are dead.
@@MrNirom1Salvation is being saved from the punishment, wrath of God, and being thrown into the lake of fire. Jesus paid the price for our sin-debt that we owed God. Before Jesus offered up His Spirit on the cross, He said,”It is finished”. The debt for mankind’s sin had been satisfying to God. Therefore, whosoever shall put their whole trust in Jesus Christ and make Him Lord, you shall not perish but have everlasting life. You have ASSURANCE of Salvation by the Holy Spirit who is the guarantor of our salvation. We then immediately have Christ Jesus, God Almighty, and the Holy Spirit living in us to guide us as we live on earth and are now fully equipped to “go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” We can have life and have it abundantly through Christ Jesus! Hallelujah! He came to set the captives free from our bondage of slavery to sin!
Titus 3:5
@@MrNirom1 salvation means eternal life. Eternal life means you are saved from eternal darkness. We all find out, but Christians know TODAY, not guessing, not assuming or even wondering they are saved. We know TODAY we are saved. We have this thing called a "blessed assurance".

Who is it that has the Son? It is those who have believed in Him (John 1:12). If you have Jesus, you have life. Not temporary life, but eternal. And, according to 1 John 5:13, you can know that you have this eternal life. Not from guessing, but knowing.

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.

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!
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.
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.”
Amen and Amen 🙏🏼

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).
I had 2 missionaries at my door, I gave them Micah Wilder's book Passport To Heaven, told them he was a wonderful young man who had been a Mormon missionary that I had met and heard sing and play such lovely music.
Micah was led to the cross by a Baptist pastor, I'm hoping his book will lead these 2 men there also.
I bought another copy of his book; ready for the next 2 that knock.
I met him as well! Bought his mom's book.
I was raised baptist and they were the most hypocritical people I have ever met. In the baptist church I went to there were different opinions on the trinity being the truth or there being three separate people.
Yes! I too have Passport to Heaven and have it sitting on my desk. I have prayed for months for the Lord to bring an LDS missionary to me to whom I could gift this book! I am still waiting.
@@DaughteroftheKing527 no need to do that because they already have the complete truth.
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.
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.
I am an ex-mormon. I left after 22 years. Glad I am a Christian now and free from all the crazy beliefs.
Praise the Lord. God is great. What advice do u give speaking to Mormons that they will wake up? I tell them to read the bible. They are being so deceived.
For two decades you were just a poser in the church. You never believed. Thank you so much for taking your weakness and confusion out of the Lord's church.
@@johnlee1352 , it's not the Lords church, false prophets, polygamist. Wake up and follow GOD not Joseph.
@@marygreen2672 I follow them both. You are weak. You haven't the strength or commitment to be a Mormon. Admit it and move on. You're good at pretending...get into one of those little praise the lord, pass the plate churches and pretend you don't know better. Keep it up for a couple of decades like you did with the Mormons. When they start to demand something of you, you can just leave again. A great system for the feckless and faithless.
@J. Sam Reynolds So, in your world, just anyone can administer the saving ordinances? That is the definition of an idiot.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is *the only message in the world* that has the power to transform hearts 💔-> ❤️
By God’s grace 🙏
And for God’s glory 👆🏼
We need so many more young men like this. We need so many more young women like this. That would be called to christ and the gospel amen young man amen
Thank you for this video! Seeing all the comments from former LDS who are now born again gives me so much joy. Praise God for the true Gospel in the Bible!
While I am not a Mormon, nor have I been in the past, I can only imagine the pain/fear/feeling of uncertainty of leaving the LDS church that you and your parents/grandparents/etc. are/were a part of. I admire their bravery.
Just like the Catholics ! Exactly !
I actually am a current member of the church, there’s no fear and leaving nobody forces you to go 😂😂😂
So happy that he's part of the family🙏his storytelling or communication skills are wonderful, so nice💯
Ex-Modern Christian. Now am a member of Christ church and kingdom, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I love my fellow man and those of all faiths and those not of any religion. It's my life's work to bring all unto Christ through his kingdom on earth. I feel sorry for this man who lost the truth for the world. Will pray for him that is takes off satans shackles and comes back to Christ.
This is one of my favorite episodes, I absolutely love to be able to listen to people who are intelligent and wise and well-spoken speak their experiences and what they understand to be true.
This is why I love to listen to guys like John MacArthur, RC Sproul, Ray Comfort, Carter Conlon, etc.
Praise God for this young man discovering the truth in spite of his religious history. God is SO faithful to forgive us our sins and to SAVE us. Blessed ASSURANCE. 🙏🏼
What a beautiful testimony. May God bless him and his wife. Thank you for sharing.
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.
Great video. Ray, do more of these. Really insightful to see the thought process and impact of false teachings.
ray himself is spreading false teachings but ok
Great testimony!
Hallelujah!🤍
All Glory to God!!!🙌🕊
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
Bravo Ray! Your ministry inspires so many! I pray I will speak The Truth in love, unhindered, as you do! BlessU ❤

@IannaLovely2022 The LDS church departed from the faith.
God used to be a man on another planet,
(Mormon Doctrine, p. 321; Joseph Smith, Times and Seasons, vol. 5, p. 613-614; Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 345; Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 333).
“The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s . . . ” (D&C 132:20).
God is in the form of a man,
(Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 3).
“God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see,” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345).
God the Father had a Father, (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 476; Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 19; Milton Hunter, First Council of the Seventy, Gospel through the Ages, p. 104-105).
God resides near a star called Kolob,
(Pearl of Great Price, p. 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428).
God had sexual relations with Mary to make the body of Jesus, (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, 1857, p. 218; vol. 8, p. 115).
“Therefore we know that both the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body . . . of flesh and bones,” (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 38).
@IannaLovely2022 and yet so many of those that purposely choose to be Mormon don't get that verse.
Ray, every time I start to stray away from The Lord, somehow a video of yours always pops up and motivates me like crazy. Jesus uses these videos brother, it’s such a cool thing to think about. Much love Ray, hope you have a great day brother!
What a brave young believer, God bless him, glad he is free and following the true gospel.
What is the true gospel of Jesus Christ? Do you know?
I’m sorry he left the true gospel.
What is brave about him? He didn't even say anything.
it's so evident this young man is genuine and now finally "Free"

RE: Christianity
P.O.V. ... it depends on your perspective. I am an adult convert to the Church. From where this gull flies, this young man was not well versed in Church doctrine.
Remember,

Thank you Holy Spirit for blessing this man with your truth. And thank you for blessing me with your truth.
You sure that's the Spirit? Because I hear the Spirit and it's opposite of what you're saying. I'm cool with being wrong if I am. Are you? Be sure people actually know what they "hear" before you bless off on them.
christianity comes brain goes
This content and his testimony is a breath fresh air for other Mormons who are being blinded and manipulated by the enemy to believe in not the truth but lies. Jesus himself was opening eyes to the blind 2000 years ago. Healing the blind not only works literally but also spiritually. God bless you. 👍
Law courts never swallow Christian moose poo, but you do.
I wouldn't say lies. They mention the 3 Kingdoms which are all Heaven. The confusion is Mormon are hoping to get in the top Kingdom most Christian are fine with the lower levels that can be attained by simple faith and receiving the Grace of our lord Jesus Christ. Most Christian believe that Heaven is a equivalent to hell based on the believe that you are in a state of Damnation. Mormon do not believe this and know that we will have the opportunity to continue in our progression.
you are still blinded and being manipulated, just now by this moron
@@bradychristensen9611  💕❤️ That’s not even close to what we believe. We believe the Holy Bible 100%. We don’t think Heaven is the equivalent to hell.
Hell is a terrible place of torcher damnation punishment; Whereas Heaven is a sublime magnificent wonderful place: a blissful paradise; and we can only get to Heaven through Jesus Christ, who is King of kings & Lord of lords, the Alps and Omega, the First and the Last, Creator of everything; the Almighty God. One God, that make up there divine persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Blessed be His Name.
1 Corinthians 2:9. (KJV)
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
Revelation 21:1-8
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
May the Holy Spirit lead you to Him, through His Holy Word the Holy Bible. God bless you.
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 TH-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.
Satan deceives in many ways. I was brought up in the Mormon church. My family goes back to Brigham Young. I’m what they call the black sheep of the family. Glad to be! God touched my heart with the truth in many ways to get me to understand why I believed what I believed. God revealed his WORD clearly to me and I know we are saved by Grace and not of our own doing! God is so good!
Mine goes back to Brigham Young as well He converted them in England and they followed him. Married my ancestors.
Thank you for sharing this video, Ray.
We as followers and believers in Jesus Christ as Lord must keep praising for the LDS folks. Also, the Catholics! I only add this bc I came out of that religion, as well.
Pray for all to come to Christ! God bless! 🙏❤️
