| | Latter Day Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Latter Day Saints consider themselves to be the only "true" "saints" in the earliest Christian sense of the word, meaning members of the original church that they believe Jesus organized before his death in the First Century, AD. | | | Latter Day Saints are sometimes also referred to as Mormons (a nickname taken from the title of the Book of Mormon). | | | Often, the term is used to refer specifically to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which is the largest Latter Day Saint denomination. |

| | Latter-day Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A Latter-day Saint is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). | | | The British spelling "Latter-day Saint" with the hyphen originated in 1852 when the LDS Church was incorporated in Salt Lake City, Utah, but a similar term "Latter Day Saint" was used in reference to members of the church from its conception in 1830. | | | Some have used the term "Latter Day Saint" to refer to any members of any of the churches involved in the movement of Mormonism which began in the 1830s and had small groups break away from the main body of saints, but such usage is much less common. |

| | The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is commonly known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church. | | | Latter-day Saints believe that their church is the authentic restoration of the church established by Jesus Christ in New Testament times. | | | Central to the nature of the church is the concept of continuing revelation; the Latter-day Saints believe that the living prophet receives divine revelation for the guidance of the modern church. |

| | Are Latter-day Saints Really Christians? |
| | The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches its members to have faith in the Jesus of the New Testament who was not a mere man, but was the Only Begotten, the divine Son of God. | | | While it is a popular ploy of active opponents of the LDS Church to state otherwise, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are unequivocally Christians. | | | Anyone maintaining that Latter-day Saints are not Christian must also ignore the contents of the Book of Mormon or argue that Latter- day Saints don't believe their own book. |

| | Although it should be emphasized that Latter-day Saints do not teach and never have taught that America's Founding Fathers were members of their church or were in any way "Mormons," the Founding Fathers played a key part in an interesting event in Mormon history. | | | And yet, there were no Latter-day Saints among America's "Founding Fathers." The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded on 6 April 1830, a full 54 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and 43 years after the Constitutional Convention of 1787. | | | Due to the leadership of Latter-day Saint women as well as Church leaders, Utah was the 2nd state to grant women the right to vote (1870). |

| | At the time of Christ and the Apostles, the term "saint" was accepted as a proper name for anyone who was a member of the Church, and was not used as a term of special sanctity as in earlier and later traditions. | | | The phrase "latter days" designates the period leading to the last days and the series of events that will culminate in the reappearance of Christ to all the world. | | | The name unites three themes: (1) the restoration theme, since the term has a New Testament origin; (2) the preparation theme, since the Saints in the latter days anticipate the coming of Christ; and (3) the revelation theme, since the name was received by revelation and recorded in Doctrine and Covenants, section 115. |
