I found out today about your baptism. Congratulations! I want to tell you that we Latter-day Saints all need to keep in mind that the Lord wants us to remember, "line upon line, precept on precept" and "don't run faster than you have strength." There is a lot to learn, so remember to take it a little at a time. Your protestant background has given you quite a head start! When I joined the church I hadn't even read the Bible yet, let alone the Book of Mormon.

its very obvious that you decided to join the LDS based on feelings rather than doctrine. thats not true discernment nor is it of God. the Mormon church was founded by a mere man, not God Himself. Now you are just part of another protestant church, but now you have left Christianity because they dont hold any fundamental foundational Christian beliefs. I feel sad for you 😢

As an inactive member and returned missionary I’ve been following your journey. A short time ago you posted and were talking about coming to Christ in the sense that this is truly what it’s all about. I found myself thinking of what message I brought to the beautiful people of Guatemala back when I was 19. The scriptures were brought out of the trunk, conference was watched with zeal and now the missionaries are bringing me back. Thank you for reminding me of the importance of putting Christ and his teachings first. It is becoming a feeling of (coming home) the peace and joy I get becoming closer to the saviour. As my Father wrote in my new Book of Mormon before my mission… Cherish truth,search and ponder. Go forward with love and honour. Thank you for your content . Tyler.

My dad was investigating the LDS church and wasn't sure if he should get baptized. The thing that eventually convinced him was -- while pondering these things he walked to his dad's encyclopedia and opened to "Mormons". He read column after column of just awful awful stuff and was shocked. He realized that if there was this much BAD written about a church that he knew was so good and Christlike, then there must be something to this church; the church must be true -- there really was no other explanation. No other reason why it could be so vilified by people that call themselves decent folks. Fifty years later after serving faithfully including as a volunteer Bishop, he remains strong. It's funny how anti-Mormons can convince people of the truth inadvertently. Look at the fruits, as you say! As for my dad -- many grandchildren will continually and eternally grateful to him for his courage. David, your grandchildren will call you Blessed and cry tears of joy at how thankful they are that you joined this church. Side note, his dad said no you can't get baptized. He was old enough to decide for himself (18ish) but still wanted to keep his father happy. Eventually his dad said "ok, if you really want to get baptized then for ONE YEAR you have to go to all the churches in Auckland New Zealand where he lived, and then if you still want to be baptized, ok." So he did. The connections between his story and yours go even deeper than that but I'll leave my very long comment at that for now! David, God bless you for seeking Christ and what a great way to continue your theme but use it for charity, to help those in need. Please go and tour the LDS Church's Welfare Square to learn more about all the great (and very quiet!) work the church does. Love ya, my brother.

I was a Baptist, seeking for the right church,, for the truth, like you were, and the Book of Mormon just rang true right away. There is a spirit with the BOM, it is a true record of the ppl on this continent and Satan knows that. There has always been opposition and false stories about the restored church. Especially from other churches who preach from their pulpit the untruths and misleading stories they have heard. It seems to me there is always opposition to the truth, but the honest in heart can FEEL the truth!. You are a bright example of that! Welcome to the worldwide family of Christ!

You can't "feel" truth. I was LDS until age 37; now I'm Baptist and born again. If I had died while a believing LDS I would have ended up in an inescapable state of eternal torment in the Lake of Fire for my sins, because I rejected the simple John 3:16-18 gospel of salvation by faith alone in Jesus alone, as well as the (biblical) divinity of Jesus, thinking he was just one of "the noble and great ones" among the heavenly host, the same species as Satan, spirit offspring of a glorified human, rather than the uncreated Creator-God, member person of the eternal I AM. Sorry. Wanting to be exalted (to "ascend") to be like Heavenly Father (to "be like the Most High"), the way D& 132:20 describes exaltation and godhood, is literally Luciferian doctrine just replacing "ascend" and "the Most High" with synonyms. Isaiah 14:13-14. "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12; 16:25. I invite you to turn from trusting in your works (LDS Articles of Faith 3 and 4) and your golden calf (Satan's brother), admit you are a condemned sinner, and put your trust in Jesus alone.

@@Geoplanetjane The Episcopal Church was established by a man (Henry VIII). No Priesthood authority. No revelation from God leading the Episcopal Church (they say all revelation ceased with the death of Christ's Apostles, a true statement). No baptism for the dead (1 Cor 15:29). No Temples. No Apostles and Prophets, the foundation of Christ's True Church. Before their deaths, the Apostles spoke of a "time of refreshing," "a Restitution yet must come," etc. The True Church in the last days would be a Restored Church; not a Catholic Church, and not one that broke off from the Catholic Church. "Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you," said Jesus to His Apostles. Who has the "keys of the Kingdom" that Jesus said He would bestow on Peter? Baptism is by immersion, not sprinkling. There was a Great Apostasy when the Apostles were killed. The Dark Ages ensued. The Protestant Reformation, broke the yoke of the Catholic Church, and prepared the way for the Restoration of the True Church. Look at the Church Christ established in the Meridian of Time. The Restored Church will have all those "earmarks," spiritual gifts, etc. Jesus said a man should "Ask of God," who would not forsake him in his search for truth. It must be an honest and dedicated search. ". . . and by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." (Moroni 10:5)

One of the scriptures that helped me discern what 'Book of Mormon' church I should join, after finding over 100 off-shoots and investigating for a decade before I joined, was that it was the only one (besides the polygamist sect in Utah) that upheld what Paul said 'else what what they do for the baptism of their dead'? (1 Cor 15:29). This made me KNOW it is the LDS Church based on SLC, Utah. Also, if you go into the map to see where the LDS wards have covered the earth, you will see this verse is a prophetic reality almost fulfilled: Habakkuk 2:14 - For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." Concerning the resurrection, Paul asked, “Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?” Also, being a new member, coming out of Christianity you can expect arrows shot at you as Genesis 49 says because now you are considered 'of Joseph'. I am the only one in my family who is a member and everyone scowled at me for joining. I'm a black sheep, but I love it because it feels prophetically correct as it is. Also the word Utah is Hebrew for 'and last'. The 'U' is a Vav and means 'AND'. The Tau is the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet. So Utah means 'AND LAST'. The first are last and the last are first. The Jews were the first in the early years to receive the gospel and the Gentiles received it last. In the last days, the Gentiles received the restored gospel first and then it goes to the Jews. We hold a heavy mantle to bring those in darkness into the light (Isaiah 29). Keep up the great work, so interesting!

And that's hard core to be dn invited speaker and not prepare a message, only to come up with an awesome message basically on the spot.

It is indeed hard to wander into the unknown. But truth is in the Jesus of the Bible (and of history), not the Jesus of fables. The LDS Jesus is the spirit offspring of a glorified human (rather than "the image of the invisible God"), the brother of Satan (rather than the creator of all the heavenly host), and one who denies the existence of the biblical hell and redefines it as a glorious place called the Telestial Kingdom.

I feel the spirit when you speak and it is self evident that you have the gift of the holy ghost. I hope you continue to serve and grow and receive the priesthood and all the other blessings the Lord has in store for you. You are truly a peacemaker and I can tell you have a large roll to play in healing the splinter groups preparing each of our hearts for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Sometimes, you have to take some time and pray to help you forgive others; the closer they are to you, the more difficult it can be sometimes, to forgive them. One of the best things that I've learned from Jesus Christ's gospel is that if you don't forgive, then you are the one who suffers, not the offender! SO TRUE!

I don't like obstacles, so I went straight to the hospital's website, and they will accept an overseas donation from me. I promise I'll make one when I get paid next week. Welcome to the family, bro. If you're ever in Australia, there's always a seat at my table for you and anyone else you might bring with you (whether friend or stranger).

You are truly amazing and inspiring. As a life long member I am inspired, uplifted and edified by watching your hornby through this channel. Thank you so much. I would love to see you and David Alexander come together as modern-day sons of Mosia. Welcome to the true church and please don't stop your online mission.

David, my husband and I have followed your videos from day 1 and we were thrilled to hear if your conversion! Not surprised though because as converts ourselves we could tell that you were truly seeking, and open minded and would recognize the Holy Spirit witnessing of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and the restored church. You are truly an example and we welcome you as our brother! Can’t wait to see the blessings that are about to come your way! We love ❤️ you!

Welcoming to my church, David! I just wanted to tell you how much I have appreciated your channel. I only found your channel recently but have sincerely enjoyed all the episodes I have found and watched. I was born and have lived my entire 80 years in Utah. I was born in the covenant - almost all of the kids I went to elementary through high school with were also LDS. Therefore, I didn't have an opportunity to visit many other churches. I firmly believed that all Christian churches have much good in their beliefs. I also know that belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints is no guarantee that you are a good Christian. As you say- the proof is in the way we live our lives from day to day. Thank you for taking me with you as you visited so many different Christian churches. I saw so much good in the people you introduced us to - and the insights you gave us. Each episode also strengthed my testimony in the Gospel and teachings of my own church. I sincerely hope that when you are 80 years old, David, that you will have an even greater testimony, even more love and joy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. I humbly pray that God will continue to bless you, David.

Thanks for sharing David. So glad you’re sharing your experiences and what it took to exercise your faith in Jesus Christ. I’ve prayed for you 🙏❤️ I love reading the Book of Mormon every day. I get such spiritual strength from that! I’m trying to learn more fully lately what it means to take upon myself the name of Jesus Christ. I think I’ve been blessed with greater understanding of bearing one another’s burdens and empathizing with others’ experiences.

David I’m so excited for you. I’m an also new member of 44 years. 😁. Finding new and exciting branches and fruit of this tree of life to partake of every week so the church still feels new to me. I would love to recommend a talk by elder Neal a maxwell called the inexhaustible gospel. The restored gospel is a well of living water to draw from that never runs dry.

I think it’s great to have a fundraiser for St. Jude hospital & wish I could donate, but I can’t (even 52 cents. Right now I’m unemployed & waiting for SS to approve a disability status (since it’s the government, I can totally believe what I’ve heard about it taking over 1 year for it to happen). In the meantime, I can pray for you & send good thoughts. By the way, I was a missionary in Japan, and am so happy you joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - there is so much to learn, and you are off to a great start. I love your perspective from a Christian background, and how others view the LDS faith.

David thank you for having this channel I've learned a lot from you. I am a lifelong member of the church. I served a mission in Sweden and I am continuing to Bear My Testimony of the truthfulness of the church. I continue to teach Sunday school classes even today on come follow me the Savior said. I don't think I've ever come home from my mission. I have brought many many people into the church over the years and I continue that now. Keep on doing the best that you know how to do and your life will be truly blessed and your children's lives will also be blessed. Again David thank you so much!

I respect the attempt to get multiple visits in one week so that you can continue to grow in your home Ward. I know many people want you to visit Utah, but since Ohio is closer to Wisconsin, maybe a visit to Kirkland to visit the first Latter-Day Temple. It has an interesting history with both LDS and Community of Christ.

I have been a member of the church for a very long time. I was thinking about your comments on “how to dress” for church. When I was a little girl (in the 40s and 50s) all the women who attended Protestant churches wore hats. At our church we didn’t wear hats and were frowned upon because of it. Now when I do see people going to church there are no longer hats on their heads. Their clothing choices usually are very casual, so, the latter day saints are dressed in a “Sunday “ best outfit. I just chuckle a little. I know it doesn’t really matter to the Lord, but I like getting dressed up for church. I like seeing men in suits and ties. I just started watching your videos when you went to the Manti temple and wondered how long before you would become a member. So happy you made the choice to join the family of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I am so happy for you. There will be many more questions, and it is wonderful to get answers from God! You will love the journey! AND it will be hard. I agree with you on the way to see a true follower. They do treat others well! One of my favorite quotes is "the only true measure of greatness is how close a person can become like Christ." I don't know who said it! ha ha- but I wrote it down when I was a teenager and I have never forgotten it.

I have been a member of the Church of Jeses Christ for 60 years. For the past several months I have followed your journey. When I saw the video after your first visit to an LDS service I knew that the Holy Spirit was guiding you because you saw the fruits of the Savior's gospel in the lives of the members you were meeting. That fruit is love - the pure Love of Christ. Love is the heart of the Gospel. Jesus taught us that the first great commandment is to love God and the second is that we should love one another. You are now called to bear fruit and i can already see you doing so. By choosing to use your platform to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Hospital (one of the greatest charitable organizations on the face of the planet) you are manifesting Christ's Love. God bless you!

They love you and support you in this choice you have made! Trust in them and always listen to the Holy ghost. They know us intimately! They know we aren't perfect, that's why we are here. To learn, to grow, to repent, and to choose who we will follow. Keep going - hold to the rod! Keep pressing forward! May you continue helping and inspiring others along the way, and may you be blessed in this your journey back to our Heavenly Father. I pray these things for you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
