		The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is part of the broader Latter Day Saint movement, which originated in the 1820s and 1830s in upstate New York under the leadership of Joseph Smith, Jr.
		Although there are several smaller Latter Day Saint churches including the Community of Christ, the LDS Church is by far the largest, and claims to be the only valid successor of the church founded by Joseph Smith.

	Melchizedek priesthood (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Melchizedek priesthood is also referred to as the high priesthood of the holy order of God (Alma 4:20, 13:8), or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God (LDS DandC 107:3), or simply as the high priesthood.
		In Mormonism, unlike most other Christian religions, the Melchizedek priesthood is thought to be held by mortals as a normal priesthood office, and not solely by either pre-Aaronic priests such as Melchizedek, or Jesus alone, as most Christians interpret the Epistle to the Hebrews.
		In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the largest denomination of Mormonism, the Melchizedek priesthood is one of two recognized priesthoods, which is usually given as a matter of course to worthy members 18 years and older who have been a member of the church for over one year.

	Mormon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Mormon is a colloquial name referring to Latter Day Saints, derived in the 1830s from the Book of Mormon, one of their books of scripture, whose compiler was called the prophet Mormon.
		Therefore, the only universally-accepted terminology in referring to Latter Day Saint denominations is to use the full name of the church, and to refer to individual Latter Day Saints as members or adherents of their particular denomination.
		Despite this perspective, the term "Mormon Fundamentalist" is widely used by Latter Day Saints in some areas (including members of the LDS church and the fundamentalists themselves) and by people outside the movement.

		Latter Day Saints believe that the Biblical miracles performed by prophets and apostles were performed by the power of the priesthood, including the miracles of Jesus, whom Latter Day Saints believe was "a priest forever ever after the order of Melchisedec" (Heb.
		Latter Day Saints believe that acts (and in particular, Ordinances) performed by one with the priesthood are recognized by God and are binding in heaven and in the afterlife.
		Because Latter Day Saints believe that priesthood authority and keys may be granted only by one who holds that authority or key, they believe it is important that a person trace their priesthood through a line of succession from a person in the Bible who was known to hold that authority or key.

	Maximus Nothus Decretum: A Look at the Recent Catholic Declaration regarding Latter-day Saint Baptisms - FARMS Review
		Catholic bishop George Niederauer observes that in baptizing all converts to the church, the Latter-day Saints are acknowledging their own baptism as "accomplishing something which is substantially different from that of all other baptismal rites."[77] At a cursory glance Niederauer's claim seems correct.
		According to my understanding, the primary reason the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints baptizes all converts-even those who were previously baptized in another faith-is an issue of authority and not because of the convert's flawed understanding of the nature of God at the time of his or her previous baptism.
		For faithful Latter-day Saints who have enjoyed decades of relatively persecution-free acceptance, this may also serve as one more reminder of their need to be the "peculiar people" God has called them to be (see Deuteronomy 14:2;26:18; Titus 2:14; 1 Peter 2:9).

	Mormon Answers: Questions about LDS Prophets
		For Latter-day saints, we are not accountable to believe all that any Church leader ever said, but only those things which have been accepted and approved by consent of the leadership bodies of the Church - in a way similar to the way the Biblical canon was established.
		In their attempt to undermine the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, some individuals quote Luke 16:16 to show that prophets ended with John and are no longer needed, claiming that the belief in living prophets is unbiblical.
		As Christians in general and Latter-day Saints in particular, it is important not to confuse or equivocate between "the law and the prophets" and "apostles and prophets." The former are books of scriptures, while the latter are members of the true church of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 12:28, Eph 4:11).

	Latter-day Saint Liberation Front: Gender Inequality, Social Privilege, and the Priesthood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		My father is not a church member; my mother was a member during her life; and I spent my childhood painfully ashamed of the status difference between myself and my BIC friends.
		Quite aside from the general point that priesthood confers prestige in our culture, the fact is that the ability to publicly perform ordinances provides social opportunities in our church.
		And it stands to reason, so long as we are an imperfect church with human proclivities toward unequal social hierarchies, so long as priesthood provides any social benefits at all, that my gender-based inability to enhance our status among our friends is at least potentially unfair.
