Agnes, thanks for this question. God loves His children and will not deny any who approach Him desiring to come unto Christ as their Savior. He heals, blesses, comforts, and enlightens all who sincerely approach Him, especially if they are willing to forsake their sins. The Mormon sacrament is symbolic of the body and blood of Christ and His atonement. When Mormons take the sacrament, they are to do so in a spirit of repentance in renewal of their baptismal covenants. When people are baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they become members of the Church and promise to take upon themselves the name of Christ, to remember Him, and to keep His commandments. They are then qualified to receive the permanent companionship of the Holy Ghost as long as they remain worthy. The baptism and conferring of the Holy Ghost are performed by men who hold the holy priesthood, which, rather than being a paid position, is defined as the power and authority to act in God&#039;s name. These ordinances are thus recorded in heaven as they are on earth.

In my opinion, Jesus is wholly aware of your faithfulness in partaking of the holy communion and honors that faithfulness. Should you choose to remain in your current faith, you should be assured of that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mormons also assert and believe that the authority to administer ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ  has been restored to the earth by God the Father and Jesus Christ themselves, through a modern appearance of  His resurrected apostles to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery,  commissioned to confer that authority on His modern servants. Mormons believe that the authority to act in God’s name ceased after the martyrdom and death of the apostles in His day, and needed to be restored. 
Does this mean God gave exclusive authority to Joseph Smith and Cowdery to practice Holy Communion?  So only if I partake of it in the Mormon meeting will I truly renew my vow to make Jesus my Lord and Saviour?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I truly believe as Christians Catholic or Mormon, spreading the word and love of God is a combined focus. I had the pleasure of meeting a very respectful man today that was visiting my job for training whom is Mormon. We shared briefly of love for Christ and how God must be the center of the family. There was no discussion in differences of my Catholic Faith or Mormonism, only two Christian Males whom truly Love God.]]></description>

Children in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are not baptized until they reach &quot;the age of accountability,&quot; when they can discern right from wrong and are able to repent. We baptize by full immersion, but those baptized are not &quot;dumped.&quot; The priest and person being baptized stand in the water together, and the person being baptized is lowered in.]]></description>

Mormons take the sacramental offerings in remembrance of Christ, but also in the renewing of their covenants made at baptism. Although guests at sacrament meetings who are not members of the Church have not made Mormon baptismal covenants, it&#039;s OK if they partake in remembrance of Christ&#039;s offering, which is universal.]]></description>
