I Believe in Christ

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I question people who attempt to entice me to their view of my church by insulting me and my beliefs. As 1 Corinthians 12:3 says, "no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost." So let's talk about the Jesus Christ I believe in.

I believe in Jesus Christ. The one born of the Virgin Mary, the Only Begotten Son of God, the Anointed One. The one who was baptized by immersion with the authority given to John the Baptist.

I believe in Jesus Christ, who healed the sick, raised the dead, and blessed all who believed on his name. The one who walked on water, whose voice commanded the elements and calmed the seas.

I believe in Jesus Christ, who suffered for my sins in Gethsemane, who bled from every pore, was crucified, and gave up his life on the cross at Calvary. The only one who was resurrected on Sunday morning, who broke the bands of death.

I also believe in Jesus Christ, of whom it was taught in John 10:16 that he would be the Good Shepherd to his "other sheep" in the Book of Mormon.

In short, I am among those whose conscience is clear before the Lord are not afraid to approach him. (See John 3:21) The only one whose authority I recognize to decide if I'm Christian or not is the one who died for my sins.
