Best Answer

No. There is no requirement in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) to convert your spouse. The church does encourage those who marry outside the faith to continue to participate in church services, and many choose to invite their spouses, but this is not required.

Another answer:

As the spouse of a non-member (who has even offered to convert if I asked), the answer is Most Definitely No. Only the Spirit can convert. One undertakes solemn covenants upon baptism -- a requirement for membership in the Church. Non-believers should not convert until and unless they become believers.

Was Leonardo a Cristian or Mormon?

Leonardo who? Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519, and Mormonism began in 1830, so he missed the opportunity to be a Mormon by over 300 years. Leonardo da Vinci was a Catholic. Mormonism is a type of Christianity - they believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, they believe that salvation comes through Christ alone, and they use the Bible as the word of God.

Was Galileo Galilei Mormon?

Most definately not. Galileo Galilei died in 1642. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) did not begin until 1830. Galileo missed the opportunity to be a Mormon by 188 years. Even if Galileo had been alive in 1830, the Mormons were in New York, USA and Galileo was in Italy. Mormonism did not arrive in Italy until 1850.

Is there ever been a reborn Mormon?

This depends on what you mean by 'reborn'. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), like most Christians, believe that they are 'born again' or 'reborn' when they become followers of Jesus Christ. They are baptized to sybolize this rebirth. So, from a Mormon perspective, every Mormon is "reborn". If you mean 'reborn' as in leaving Mormonism and returning to it later on, yes. This happens quite commonly in the Mormon church, especially among young adults who might abandon religious activity during their college years but return when they settle down and start a family. If you mean 'reborn' as in leaving Mormonism to join another faith, yes. This is also somewhat common. Often those who leave Mormonism to join another faith join a more liberal Christian church. If you mean 'reborn' in a more literal sense, as in someone who has been born, died, and then was born again, no. Mormons do not believe in reincarnation, and being born after death would qualify as reincarnation. Mormons do believe in resurrection, but do not believe that anyone has been resurrected since Mormonism began in 1830.


Was john Joseph Taylor one of the original leaders of the Mormon church?

John Taylor was the third president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), but his middle name was not Joseph. He converted to Mormonism six years after it began, so he wasn't one of the original leaders, but he was an early leader. I couldn't find any record of a John Joseph Taylor being an early leader in the Mormon Church.

If you are looking for official information about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), please visit their websites, Mormon.org and lds.org I personally get my information for Mormonism-related answers here on WikiAnswers from my own personal experience. I have been a Mormon and studied the faith in depth for 27 years. I often look at the websites listed above to be sure my answers are congruent with the Church's official position.
