AboutRomy Brown Expertise I`ve been a member of the mormon church my whole life.
I know that the morman church is the only true church,
because of personal and spiritual experiences.
Experience I can tell you about our belief's and where in the scriptures.
you can find them,and if I don't have an answer for you I am determined to find an answer for you.

Organizations I'm a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
(the Mormons)
Question I'm praying for you, Romy. Jesus loves you. I pray that you will accept and live by the truths found in the Bible, the Word of God! We can't do it on our own. It is only by the grace of God that we can be saved (Eph 2:8-9). My question is how do you think that a man can get to heaven (also read Rom 10:9-10) Have a blessed Christmas!!
Answer We believe all the teachings of the bible, we just have a better understanding of how its suppose to be interpreted.
The bible teaches Diligence, patience, and enduring to the end is required to ensure our salvation:
2 Peter 1:4-10; 2 Peter 3:14-18; Heb. 12:1,7,14,15; Heb. 10:36; James 1:12; Mark 13:13; Heb. 6:15; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 2:7,10,11; Col. 1:22-29; James 5:7-12; 1 John 2:24-25.
Why? Rom. 8:16-18; Rev. 3:19-21; Rev. 21:7; Heb.12:9,10; Acts 17:28,29
Christ’s teachings show that obedience is required to obtain eternal life; there is no hint of "once saved, always saved" or instant salvation without works:
Matt. 19: 16-23 (point blank: to obtain eternal life, keep the commandments); see also Mark 10:17-30; Luke 18:18-30
Luke 10:25-28 (again: keep the commandments to be saved)
Mark 12: 28-34 (Christ teaches the two greatest commandments, and tells one who understands them that he is "not far from the kingdom of God")
Luke 11:28 (blessed are they that DO the word of God)
Sermon on the Mount
Matt. chapters 5 to 7 (focuses on works, behavior)
Matt. 5:19-21 (must keep commandments)
Matt 5:48 (must seek to be perfect)
Matt. 7:13,14 (the gate is straight and narrow)
Matt. 7:21-23 (Must DO God's will; Christians who did evil will not go to heaven)
Matt. 7:24-28 (those who do what Christ says are built on a sure foundation)
Matt. 24:13 (endure to the end to be saved) - see also Matt. 10:22 and Mark 13:13
Matt. 12:35-37 (will be judged by our words, to be condemned or justified)
Matt. 16:24-27 (we'll be judged by our works)
John 8:31-32 (we must continue in the word of Christ)
Luke 21:19 (patience is required to preserve our souls)
Luke 21:34-36 (be cautious, avoid sin, to be counted worthy to stand before God)
Mark 11:25-26 (we must forgive others to be forgiven ourselves)
John 5: 28,29 (those that do good obtain life)
John 14:15,21,23 (Christ teaches us to keep his commandments)
John 15: 1-14 (we must bear fruit, keep commandments)
Matt. 13:3-23 (parable of the sower: He warns that some receive the word and believe, but do not endure: will they be in God's kingdom? See Luke 9:24-26)
Matt. 12:50 (must do his will to have a close relationship with Christ)
Matt. 13:40-43 (parable of the tares: those in his kingdom who do evil are damned)
John 12:50 (The Father's commandment is life everlasting)
See also Luke 21: 19,34-36; Matt. 25 (esp. v. 31-46); John 3:5
Judged by works:
Rom. 2: 4-11; Rev. 20: 12-15; Matt. 16:27; Gal. 6: 7-9; Rev. 22:12-14; 2 Cor. 5:9,10; Col. 3:24-25; John 5:28,29; Eccl. 12:13,14; 1 Peter 1:17; Psalm 62:12; Prov. 24:12; Rev. 2:23; 1 Peter 4:17-19.
Repentance and obedience are required for salvation:
Acts 2:37-38; Matt. 4:17; Acts 17:30,31; 2 Peter 3:9; 2 Cor. 7:9-11; Ezekiel 18:4,5,9,20-27,30-32; Ezekiel 33:11-20; Acts 26:20; Mark 6:12; Luke 24:47; Heb. 5:8,9; Rom. 2: 4-11; Prov. 4:4; Prov. 19:16; Deut. 6:17; Eccl. 12:13,14; Matt. 4:4; Deut. 8:3; 1 Sam. 15:22; Jerem. 7:23; 2 Cor. 10:5,6; Exo. 19:5; Deut. 29:9-15; John 7:17; Rom. 6:16; James 4:6-10; 2 Thess. 1:4-9; 1 Pet. 1:14-16; Matt. 5:48; Lev. 11:45; Lev. 19:2; Lev. 20:7,26; Matt. 5:19-20; Rev. 3:5,19-21; Joel 2:12,13; 2 Cor. 10:5,6; 2 Cor. 7:15; Phil. 2:8.
Saved by Grace - but we access that Grace by obedience:
Eph. 2:8; Rev. 22:12-14; Philippians 3:12-14; Heb. 5:8,9; Exodus 20:6; James 4:6-10; Matt. 5:7; 1 Peter 1:13-22.
We must do, not just believe:
James, Chapters 1 and 2; 1 John 3:18,19; Matt. 7:21-27; Matt. 25:31-46; 2 Cor. 5:9,10; Titus 2; 1 Peter 1:22; Matt. 12:50; 1 Tim. 6:17-19.
Christians can fall from grace, so be cautious:
Heb. 12:15; 1 Cor. 10:12; 2 Pet. 1:4-10; Heb. 3: 12-14; Heb. 4:1,11; Matt. 7:21-23; Luke 21:34-36; Phil. 2:12; Gal. 5:4; Heb. 6:4-6; Heb. 10:26-31; 2 Cor. 6:1; Jude 1:3-13; Col. 1:23; James 5:12,19,20.
Sin can keep you out of heaven:
1 Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:16-26; Eph. 5:3-7; 1 Thess. 4:1-7; Col. 3:5-25; Jude 1:14-25; Heb. 12:1-17; James 4:4; Matt. 5:22; Matt. 25: 31-46; Ezek. 18.
We must grow and progress through obedience to be saved:
2 Peter 1:3-10 (heavy!); 1 John 2:4,5; Phil. 3:12-15.
