My Beliefs
“As I’ve traveled all over the world, the fact that I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has caused a lot of interesting questions. I’ve received so many letters and e-mails asking things like, What are the basic beliefs of Latter-Day Saints?”
My Testimony
…Some want to know how Debbie and I have been able to maintain a strong marriage — over all these years — while living in the world of show business. Others want to know how we dealt with the challenges of raising a close and happy family in such difficult times.
How do we maintain a balance between work, and family life? Well, you know it’s not always easy, but the following pages are my attempt to explain a way of life that helps answer these kinds of questions. It gives me stability in a world, and in a business, that can be uncertain, compromising, and stressful. It’s the pattern that gives me direction in my life. And, I hope that this information will help answer some of your questions.

Baptism for the Dead? Biblical?
I wonder how the church basis it’s baptism for those who have passed away as biblical… Once the person has died, they proceed to judgment or heavens gates to see if their name is in the book of life. Baptizing them after death, in my eye’s, doesn’t really serve any purpose.

Marriage Amongst Older People
I understand the rules about who can be sealed to who and under what circumstances. My intended is a widower, was married for 45 years and sealed to her. If I convert and we eventually get married I understand that we would eventually go to the Temple to be sealed. How does that work in terms of eternal marriages.

Baptism for the Dead & How are Masonry and LDS Similar
I have a question regarding “Baptism for the Dead”. I know that alot of Mormons say that it was practiced in the bible, so it is right.
Can you also explain to me why Mormonism and Masonry are so connected?

Baptism for the Dead
How do you baptise the dead that is bogus in the belief.
Christians belief that baptism still takes place here in churches all over. That is living bodies not dead. I don’t understand that belief on the dead. It doesn’t make sense and serves no purpose at all.

Does Plural Marriage Exist After Death?
[Does] plural marriage exists and is practiced after death? I also would like to know if it was purposeful that you cited a man being sealed to two women rather than a woman being sealed to two men. Can the latter situation exist?
