Shout out to everyone here who is genuinely seeking for or feels they have found a relationship with the living Christ! I salute and celebrate with you. Glory to his name! I've received many witnesses through the holy spirit that the Bible is true. That same spirit of love, humility, light, and gratitude for the creations and miracles of God has also born witness to my heart and mind that the Book of Mormon is true. Whether you believe that or not, I see you as my brothers and sisters if you love the Lord and I want to praise Him with you. I'm always willing to learn about others, their perspectives, their faith, and the battles they have overcome through the Lord's help. Please introduce yourself to me and tell me how you came to believe in God and the Bible! I'd love to hear what you have to say and call you friend!

Welcome to the forum. I "came to Christ" from a Baptist upbringing. After years of study I am now a believer in the Orthodox Church. That has been by far the greatest battle I have fought. And I believe it was won by the Lord's help.

One question I have is whether members of your community are accurately referred to as LDS or as Mormons.

The CF designation is Mormon, obviously. But I was under the impression that the official name is Latter-day Saint.

Anyway. Welcome.

Greetings :) may your time here be beneficial and uplifting. Both my parents are Christian. Still stumbling about and wondering how to change as commanded. One day at a time I guess. Take care!

Thank you! May I ask, how did you come to know the Lord, or in other words, how did you gain a testimony of His reality? I love hearing people's stories!

It's great to hear from you! Congratulations on your victories thus far. Those personal trials can be very real expressions of love for the Lord, no? Would you like to tell me how the Lord has helped you the most?

Thanks for asking! We don't prefer being called Mormon because that was simply the name of an ancient prophet in the Book of Mormon. We would rather be called "Latter-Day Saints" or "members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints". But we understand the need for shorter nicknames, so it's not offensive to still hear Mormon.
