I'm curious. I grew up non-Mormon in Utah, but ended up converting when I was in college because I needed something in my life that I could believe, only I had no idea what actual Christianity was. After my mormon baptism, I kept praying that I would believe in the BoM and Joseph Smith as a real prophet, but....no, not at all. I stopped going to church and stopped caring entirely about mormonism.
A few years later I decided to read the Bible. It all just seemed to click beautifully into place. I finally knew what it was to believe in Christ and salvation through Him.
Unfortunately, all - and I mean ALL - of my friends (and back in those days I had many friends in high school) either stayed extremely hardcore mormon, or they left the church and became angry, bitter atheists, or just believed in simply "a" god. No one I know from back then became a Bible-believing Christian.
So I'm wondering about all of you - which path have you taken?
