The Mormon Temple Ceremony

There are many activities which take place inside the Mormon church's temples. However, members are taught to keep ceremonial activities a secret because they are believed to be too "sacred" to discuss. They're not even allowed to discuss the details among themselves. Interestingly, most Mormons (some estimates as high as 70%) do not even regularly attend their own temples as is expected of them. 

While it is true that the Mormon temple ceremony is not biblical, many who are not Mormon have misspoken regarding the temple ceremony, resulting in some confusion. Concerned Christians has attempted to lay out, in a clear and concise manner, what takes place in their temples, what changes have been made and how their temple ceremony conflicts with the Bible. It is our goal to educate Christians and Mormons (who want to know) about the truths regarding the Mormon temple.

For those who are unfamiliar with Mormon temples we recommend reading Introduction to LDS Temples. This will give you a basic overview of their significance within Mormonism. In addition, we have provided a brief introduction to each activity of the temple ceremony to give the reader a better understanding.

The reader should also be aware that the bulk of this work is made possible by former Mormons who have come forward to expose these ceremonies. Information from the book Evolution of the Mormon Temple Ceremony: 1842-1990 by Jerald and Sandra Tanner was used in this section as well. Copies of this revealing work can be purchased in our online bookstore.
