We believe that the first principles and aordinances of the Gospel are: first, bFaith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, cRepentance; third, dBaptism by eimmersion for the fremission of sins; fourth, Laying on of ghands for the hgift of the Holy Ghost.
6
We believe in the same aorganization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, bprophets, cpastors, dteachers, eevangelists, and so forth.
7
We believe in the agift of btongues, cprophecy, drevelation, evisions, fhealing, ginterpretation of tongues, and so forth.
11
We claim the aprivilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the bdictates of our own cconscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them dworship how, where, or what they may.
13
aWe believe in being bhonest, true, cchaste, dbenevolent, virtuous, and in doing egood to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we fhope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to gendure all things. If there is anything hvirtuous, ilovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

--------------------------------------------------
The Articles of Faith were originally written by The 1st LDS Prophet Joseph Smith jr. in the 1830's in reponse to an inquire from John Wentworth for his newspaper. They are now regarded as scripture by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but they do do not contain all of the complete full true gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Which can be learned by reading all officialy LDS Recognized scripture:
Book of Mormon
Doctrine and Covenants
Pearl of Great Price
Book of Abraham, etc
