What does it mean to be a member of the church of Jesus Christ latter-day saints?

Answer 1

A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also called the "Mormon" church) is anyone who has been baptized into the church, as baptism is the act which makes one an official church member. With over 15 million members, every member of the church is different, but they are united in their basic beliefs and in the fact that they have met the qualifications for baptism. A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has:
-Been baptized into the church as a witness of their commitment to and faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ and as a symbol of their new life in Christ.

-Promised to live as an example of Jesus Christ at all times and professed their belief that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind.

-Professed that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore the church and that the modern president of the church is God's prophet on earth today.
-has repented of sins and transgressions, and confessed any serious sins to a Bishop
-attended church services and obtained a basic understanding of the church's doctrines
-abstained from smoking, drugs, sexual relationships outside of marriage, and drinking alcohol, coffee, and tea for a set period of time prior to baptism.
-expressed a willingness to forever abstain from drugs, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, and non-marital sexual relationships, as well as a willingness to attend church meetings, serve where needed in the church, and pay tithes.
