In short, yes.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ's atonement (that is, the suffering in the garden, crucifixion on the cross, and resurrection) is what makes it possible for all men to be forgiven of their sins, be perfected, and receive salvation. Through His atonement, Jesus Christ paid the debt in full. However, this is often misunderstood because Mormons also believe that 'works' are necessary. While our salvation is paid for, Jesus Christ can require that we are obedient to His commandments - not to qualify for salvation or earn heaven, but to show our appreciation for His gift, to take full advantage of that gift, and to prepare for heaven. We should do our best to show Jesus our appreciation for His gift of salvation, and allow His grace to heal and transform us as a witness of our faith in His atonement.
This is explained wonderfully in a BYU devotional sermon given by Brother Brad Wilcox called "His Grace is Sufficient", you may look it up on Google or YouTube if you are interested.

What is the major emphasis of Mormons worship?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) worship God our Heavenly Father. Mormons also worship Jesus Christ, the son of God to whom they look for salvation. Mormons pray to the father in the name of the son. Mormons believe that the father has given all power and authority to his son Jesus. The plan of salvation is administered through Jesus Christ. Jesus created this earth. It is he who answers our prayers. He set an example and taught us how to come unto the father. Jesus suffered and died in order to pay our debt of sin. He will be our judge. Mormons worship the father by striving to live a Christ like life. As we turn our lives to Christ, we are saved by his atoning sacrifice for sin. If we are in rebellion to God, we have no such promise.
Why is the cross sacred to christians?
Answer: It is not the physical cross we wear on our neck today that is important. It is the symbolism of where the cross came from, which is about the Crucifixion of Christ and His sacrifice for humanity during it.
Why do Christians believe in the atonement?
One reason is that the atonement is taught by Scripture. "Atone" means to pay or set right - as you may atone for an insult or a debt of honor. One of the fundamental Christian concepts is that humankind is separated from God by their sin. That is, I have sinned against God and have chosen to go my own way, and now my guilt and debt for my sin keeps me from God and heaven. Jesus atones for my sins on the cross, that is, he paid the penalty for them or (if you prefer) he settled the debt. Therefore, I can be in joyful union with God, as God originally intended.

Why are Mormons said to be a good example?
Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) strive to always live a Christian life - meaning that they try to always live as an example of Jesus Christ. They look for opportunities to serve others and are often involved in community service projects and humanitarian missions. They also try to be honest, humble, and hardworking. They avoid anything that would be unbecoming of a Christ-follower, such as smoking, drinking, drugs, swearing, or participating in inappropriate media or other activities. Because they believe that you should not be a burden to society, they try to stay out of debt and store food and water in case of natural disaster. Just the way they live their lives is why they are said to be a good example.
What is the true way to heaven?
The Christian religion speaks, in the Bible, of Jesus Christ being the true way to heaven because He (being GOD) came down to Earth and paid our sin debt price by dying on the cross for our sins.

In TN are spouses responsible for each others debt?
You are never legally responsible for any debt unless you specifically sign for that debt. If someone is trying to get you to pay a debt that you do not believe is yours, tell them to produce a copy of the document you signed.
What is the difference between a liquidated debt and an unliquidated debt?
The difference between an unliquidated debt and a liquidated debt is this: Liquidated Debt: A debt that has an exact monetary value. Unliquidated Debt: A debt that is undisputed as to its amount, but still under the liability of the debtor. Each one of these debts has a statute of limitations to it. I believe they stand at 3 years for liquidated debt, and 6 years for unliquidated debt. These numbers are for Colorado and can change from state to state based on their rulings.
