Mormonism and its Affect on Evangelical Christianity: Standing Strong in Faith

Mormonism and Evangelical Christianity hold distinct theological views, leading to both conflict and points of convergence. Evangelicals often view Mormonism as a separate religion, emphasizing differences in core beliefs like the nature of God, the role of Jesus, and the path to salvation. However, both groups share some common ground in areas like social conservatism and a focus on family values.

A truly American original religion, Mormonism, which was founded in 1830 in upstate New York by Joseph Smith, has since grown into a world wide church membership of Latter-Day Saints that claims over 15 million members spread all over the world. Evangelical Christians have been affected by the growth of Mormonism, and there are both similarities and differences in theology, doctrine and practice. Mormons and Christians alike can learn how to interact with each other without compromising their faith. Evangelicals can learn how to evangelize Mormons for true Biblical Christianity.
