What are the fundamental beliefs of the Mormon faith?

Answer 1

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the correct name for the Mormon church) teaches first and foremost that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, and that through faith in Christ and obedience to His commandments, we can live again in the presence of God after death.

All other church doctrine supports that primary teaching. You can read about church doctrine by following the related links, below.

Answer 2

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has many beliefs, but the very basic belief is that God is our Heavenly Father, and His purpose is to bring about the Salvation of mankind. Jesus Christ is God's Son and our Savior and Redeemer - by accepting Jesus' sacrifice on our behalf, we can return to live with God in heaven. The purpose of life is to gain experiences which will help us to become more like God, and those who have received Jesus Christ have an obligation to strive to become more like him by keeping His commandments and following His perfect example as laid out in the scriptures.

The beliefs of Mormons depart from those of other Christian groups in that they believe that there was a second coming of Jesus among the American Natives in ancient times, and that a second gospel resulting from that is The Book of Mormon.
