Given that roughly half of LDS teens aren't in active LDS families, it's not surprising that many aren't sure about God. And even some of those that are active might not yet have much of a personal testimony yet and may wonder. I wish that all LDS people had stronger testimonies and more vibrant faith, but the statistics from this study still look pretty positive. <BR/><BR/>As for the rapture, that's a good point. I'll add something. Churches that teach the popular but man-made rapture concept are definitely a cult - using the basic dictionary definition (cult = "a system or community of religious worship and ritual") - and people need to know this.Jeff Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776493593387402607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1111105076463514772005-03-17T18:17:00.000-06:002005-03-17T18:17:00.000-06:00hey jeff, what can you tell me about the church's ...hey jeff, what can you tell me about the church's teachings on the rapture? it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on your web page, but i know it's a big part of protestant theology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1111070054886081212005-03-17T08:34:00.000-06:002005-03-17T08:34:00.000-06:00The sad thing about that same article is that such...The sad thing about that same article is that such a small number of the LDS teens said they believe in God (barely over 2/3 of them!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1110950761131692382005-03-15T23:26:00.000-06:002005-03-15T23:26:00.000-06:00Looks like we stumbled on to the same story.
