 What is a Mormon Temple?


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has more than 100 operating temples around the world. Visitors are welcome to visit the temple grounds at all of these temples and attend open houses prior to dedication. However, only baptized members who are qualified and prepared are allowed to enter a temple after it is dedicated.
In temples, Church members participate in ordinances designed to unite their families together forever and help them return to God. In the temple, members:
Receive sacred ordinances, including those that bind husband and wife together for eternity, as well as join children and parents (Malachi 4:5-6).
     Is there secret things that go on in the Temple?
Many people around the world think that Mormon Temples are places were Mormons go and do secret things. This is not the case. All of the things that happen in the Temple are so sacred that it is not apropriate do discuss them outside of the temple.
The Temple like I mentioned above is a place were endowed members go in and recieve sacred ordinances. So sacred that they cannot be discussed outside of the temple.

Why are only some Mormons aloud in the Temple
.You  must be spiritually mature and you must be in good standing with the church, meaning that you must be worthy. Members of the church take the Temples seriously because they are so sacred and there are so many blessing that you can reciece from attending the temple. It is possible for every member to go inside the temple and participate and it is a goal for all of the members. It takes alot of preparation to enter the temple. The Church stongly encourages every member to do everything they can to be able to enter the Temple.
