Me and Joshua Rawlings made this VLOG style video to show what a typical day as a missionary looks like as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Thank you Elders, for your service! I am a convert, baptized 10/20/23. I enjoy studying with the missionaries, and I love my calling at church as Communication Specialist, and our Relief Society. Heavenly Father gives us so much! Safe travels to you, and may The Lord bless you!

I was very confused by your singing of "How firm a foundation" at the end of this video. This hymn was written in 1787 and is saying that the foundation for our faith is the Bible, and we don't need anything else---"What more can He say than to you He hath said?" (a rhetorical question, to which the answer is nothing!) The author of this hymn is saying that God has given us what we everything we need in the Bible to understand our faith. How do you understand this hymn in light of the additional scriptures your church accepts, as well as the possibility of new revelation from modern prophets? Isn't that more that God is saying?

@graysonhardman1250 3 ай бұрын

Hey! Thanks for commenting your question. I didn’t know the history behind that hymn, thanks for sharing! In our faith we believe that God will always communicate with his children, and that revelation is ongoing. God calls prophets to teach his children, and we believe that he still calls prophets today. While we love and read from the Bible, we know that there are more sources to learn about God and Jesus Christ. Here are some scriptures we read from that mention the need for prophets and apostles, even some written after Jesus Christ’s death. (Amos 3:7, John 21:25, Ephesians 2:20, Ephesians 4:11-12) Sorry that I can’t answer your question fully, if you’d like to learn more there are local missionaries in your area that would love to talk more with you! www.comeuntochrist.org

@@jlewis8145 Thanks again for sharing! It might surprise you to know that I agree with you! Jesus Christ has already atoned for our sins and we need to accept Him. You’re absolutely correct that Christ has paid the price for each of us. We need to accept Him! A lot of times in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we put too much emphasis on what we must personally do to accept Christ rather than on emphasizing the great sacrifice that He has already made for us. We are better Christians when we remember and put the emphasis on the Savior. At the same time, Christ himself emphasizes a gospel of action. It is not enough to merely say that we accept Him without showing it. That is why we serve missions. Christ himself commands his disciples at the end of Matthew to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.” At the end of John, Christ emphasizes the importance to feed his sheep. He taught sermons on personal conduct and gave commandments of how to live, so that we can feel His atoning grace more in our lives. James famously states that faith without works is dead. If we only focus on faith in Christ without acting like Him, we only have part of His power. By being baptized like He was and following His perfect example, we fulfill his great commission to “Follow Me.” You’re correct, Jesus paid the price for each of us. We need to acknowledge our sin and ask for His forgiveness. But we also need to take personal action to follow Him. I really appreciate your response and your respectful words. Thanks for your question!

I had learned about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2002 and was about to be baptized, but life got in the way. It wasn't until 2018 that I was baptized a week after the October General Conference.

If you watched the video, what you would see are two young men who devote themselves to Christ and try to share God's word with others. They provide service at a community food bank, give English classes to immigrants, and testify of Jesus. If you are a part of a different religious perspective that's fine, but to write off this missionary service as nothing but "two heretics" is just innaccurate.
