Theodemocracy
Theodemocracy is a theocratic political system proposed by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. According to Smith, a theodemocracy is a fusion of traditional republican democratic principles under the US Constitution with theocratic rule. Smith described it as a system under which God and the people held the power to rule in righteousness. Smith believed that to be the form of government that would rule the world upon the Second Coming of Christ.
Baptême pour les morts
Le baptême pour les morts a été pratiqué par plusieurs Églises chrétiennes ainsi que certaines religions non chrétiennes. Dans cette pratique, une personne vivante représentait une personne décédée et recevait le baptême pour le défunt. Certaines Églises chrétiennes et religions non chrétiennes pratiquent encore ce sacrement. Au temps des apôtres, Paul a posé cette question : « Autrement, que feraient ceux qui se font baptiser pour les morts ? Si les morts ne ressuscitent absolument pas, pourquoi se font-ils baptiser pour eux ? » (1 Corinthiens 15:29).
Théologie du mormonisme
La théologie du mormonisme est la doctrine de l'Église de Jésus-Christ des saints des derniers jours. Cette doctrine, reconnue par les membres de l'Église, inclut le Plan de salut qui consiste en un système de lois, d'ordonnances éternelles. Ces lois et ordonnances seraient le système de gouvernement du royaume de Dieu. Selon cette doctrine, la plupart des humains seront sauvés dans un royaume de gloire mais pas tous dans le royaume céleste. Les membres de l'Église de Jésus-Christ des saints des derniers jours croient qu'ils peuvent vivre avec Dieu.

Continuous revelation
Continuous revelation or continuing revelation is a theological belief or position that God continues to reveal divine principles or commandments to humanity. In Christian traditions, it is most commonly associated with the Latter Day Saint movement, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and with Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity, though it is found in some other denominations as well. Continuous revelation also forms part of the rituals of gatherings in various chapters of Taoism.
Signature Books
Signature Books is an American press specializing in subjects related to Utah, Mormonism, and Western Americana. The company was founded in 1980 by George D. Smith and Scott Kenney and is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is majority owned by the Smith-Pettit Foundation. In the late 1970s, Scott Kenney decided there needed to be a Mormon-related press that didn't have ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Among those present at Signature Books's inception were George D.
First Vision
The First Vision (also called the grove experience by members of the Community of Christ) refers to a theophany which Latter Day Saints believe Joseph Smith experienced in the early 1820s, in a wooded area in Manchester, New York, called the Sacred Grove. Smith described it as a vision in which he received instruction from God the Father and Jesus Christ. According to the account Smith told in 1838, he went to the woods to pray about which church to join but fell into the grip of an evil power that nearly overcame him.
Holy Spirit in Christianity
For the majority of Christian denominations, the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is believed to be the third person of the Trinity, a Triune God manifested as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each Person being God. Nontrinitarian Christians, who reject the doctrine of the Trinity, differ significantly from mainstream Christianity in their beliefs about the Holy Spirit. In Christian theology, pneumatology is the study of the Holy Spirit.
Pierre (apôtre)
Pierre (saint Pierre pour les catholiques et les orthodoxes), Siméon Bar-Yonah (traduit par « Simon, fils de Jonas ») selon le témoignage des Évangiles, aussi appelé Kephas (le « roc » en araméen) ou Simon-Pierre, est un Juif de Galilée ou de Gaulanitide connu pour avoir été l'un des disciples de Jésus de Nazareth. Il est répertorié parmi les apôtres, au sein desquels il semble avoir tenu une position privilégiée du vivant même de Jésus avant de devenir, après la mort de ce dernier, un des trois piliers de l'Église de Jérusalem avec Jacques et Jean.
Restoration branches
Restoration Branches movement is a Christian/Latter Day Saint religious sect which was formed in the 1980s by members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS, now the Community of Christ) in a reaction against the events of the RLDS 1984 world conference. The movement holds in the traditional RLDS theology of the 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries and hold that events leading up to and surrounding the 1980s and decades since have introduced sweeping, fundamental changes into RLDS doctrine and practice which are illegitimate because they contradict the long-standing RLDS theological tradition this sect holds as true.
