Did Mormons get persecuted for refusing to let new members into their church?
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has never denied people membership into their church. All people from all walks of life have always been accepted through baptism if they are willing to demonstrate a willingness to follow Jesus Christ and the guidelines of the Church. Mormons have been persecuted for their doctrinal and moral beliefs which differ from the popular culture, such as belief in scripture in addition to the Bible, modern prophets, salvation for the deceased, strict chastity, and clean living.
Mormons view on operation therapies of the hospital?
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") and I am not aware of any official Church opinions on operation therapies, only personal ones (which differ from person to person). The Church and it's members fully support modern heathcare and members choose any healthcare options they want.
How do Church of Christ and Methodist beliefs differ?
One key difference is their views on baptism: Church of Christ typically practices believer's baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, while Methodists practice infant baptism as a symbol of God's grace. Additionally, Church of Christ emphasizes a cappella singing in worship, while Methodists may use a variety of musical instruments. The two denominations also differ on the structure of church leadership and governance.
Who is the mormons?
"Mormons" are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church has over 15 million baptized members worldwide, and these members come from nearly every nationality, culture, status, and background. While Mormons might differ physically and temporally, they are united in their faith. Mormons are Restorationist Christians, meaning that they believe their church is the true New Testament Christian Church restored (rather than continued or reformed) in modern times. The doctrines and authority of the original Christianity were restored to the prophet Joseph Smith through visitations by Jesus Christ, Peter, James, John the Beloved, John the Baptist, and other Biblical figures. Mormons share most beliefs and practices with other Christians, but also have some unique doctrines, including modern prophets, additional scripture, and temple ceremonies.Mormons tend to be very open and excited to share their faith with anyone interested. You can visit their official website, Mormon.org, to learn more about the faith and to get in contact with Mormons near you.

Having beliefs different from those of the church is called .?

What church thinks it is the best church?
The Mormons, the Catholics.... Some denominations, such as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the United Church of Christ, or the Buddhist Church, have in their belief systems that they have no monopoly on the truth. The nature of this question could lead to debate or argument. In an effort to quell that before it begins, this answer is an attempt at objectivity. People's religious beliefs are usually such that they believe that they have the right or best perspective. If they did not feel this way, they would not subscribe to the particular religion or church they do. While their individual beliefs might differ slightly from the doctrine or dogma of the church to which they belong or attend, it obviously represents the closest match to their personal faith. Therefore, every member of every religion known to man can say, "My church is the best." The fact is, no church is truly better than any other. Each can be best for the members of that church, but there is no overall "best." Best in this case is subjective. It can be a point of debate, it can be a matter for argument, has been in fact, but it need not be. The best response to this question then is that the "best church" is that one which is best for the individual choosing.

Have Mormons and Catholics ever gotten along?
Yes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) and the Catholic Church actually get along quite well, and pretty much always have. Of course they differ in many ways and acknowledge those differences, but they also recognize their similarities and work together in many areas where they share common goals. This is especially true in Utah, which has very large Mormon and Catholic populations. Check out the "Related Links" below to see some examples of Catholics and Mormons cooperating.
What is Morminism?
The gospel of Jesus Christ has been around since before the world was created. As an all knowing and merciful God knew those coming to earth would sin and fall short of perfection, He knew a Savior must be given to take upon Him the sins and transgressions of His people. If they would repent and come unto Him, they might be forgiven and be made clean by the blood of the Savoir.The gospel of Jesus Christ did not start at 1 AD when Christ was born. The prophets in the Old Testament looked forward to the crowning event of the Savior and His atonement and Resurrection.The Mormon Faith or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the church with the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ here on the earth. It is not a new faith, or a splinter group from another religion. Members of the church believe that although many good churches hold to parts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the fullness of it was lost due to the death of the original apostles, the dark ages, and other events which diminished the knowledge of many intricate and essential points of the gospel.Members of the Mormon faith believe the church to be a full restoration of all the knowledge, ordinances, and blessings of the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.The following comes from a different author. The beliefs of the church are open for all to see at the Mormon website. I am posting a few notes to show the general uneducated understanding this response has with the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints (Mormons)The Mormon Religion is the worship of their Leader, Maroni. and their bi-laws.(Not true, Mormons worship Jesus as the only intercessor between us and God)There is no mention of this Religion in the Bible.(There is also no mention of Catholic, Protestant, Methodist, Baptist, or any other church except the Jewish customs in the Old Testament, and the gospel of Jesus Christ)The Mormon Religion has its own worship book.(The church considers the Bible to be the word of God. They also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God)Their Faith is not built on Jesus Christ or the Bible as we know it today.(Not true. Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone upon which the church is built. We study and reference our beliefs in the Standard King James version of the Bible)When Christ had the prophets write the Bible, he said not a tittle could be added nor taken away from it.(The Bible was not written as a book from front to back. Many prophets wrote the words of God, and many years later, some of the writings were compiled into the Bible. Many books were not included. Some of the missing books such as the Book written to the people Ladocia are mentioned in the Bible, but are not found there. John wrote the book of Revelations when he was banished to the isle of Patmos. He wrote the Gospel according to John at a later date, which would conflict with your understanding of what that verse means.)The Mormons have their own "bible"....(Mormons believe the Bible to be a record of God's dealings with His covenant people in the Eastern Hemisphere. They believe it to be the word of God. They also believe God had prophets who lived in the Western hemisphere, whom He also loved, and taught them of the coming of His Son. The writings of these prophets were compiled into a book called The Book of Mormon. The book serves as a companion to the Bible, not to contradict it, but to solidify it and to testify to the whole world that Jesus is the very Christ, the Savior of the world.)
What is the connection between Martin Luther and Mormons?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) and Lutherans share many common beliefs. Both groups believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and the only way that mankind can receive Salvation. Both believe that the Bible is the Word of God. Both also believe that salvation comes in and through Jesus Christ. Both believe in the communion or Lord's supper (Mormons call it 'the sacrament') and both believe in baptism - although they might differ in how these ordinances are performed.
