Encyclopedia > Pentecostal Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
The Pentacostal Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the PLDS Church, is a sect of Mormonism organized in 1994-1995 by a study group called the "LDS Scripture Readers", led by Michael Bethel, composed initially of independent Mormons and members of various Mormon sects. The church is headquartered in Kenner, Louisiana.
LatterDaySaints trace their religious heritage through Joseph Smith, Jr., and teach that he restored the original Christian church, which LatterDaySaints believe had disappeared from the earth after a period of apostasy.
LatterDaySaints consider themselves to be "saints" in the earliest Christian sense of the word, meaning members of the original church which they believe Jesus organized before his death in the First Century, CE.
LatterDaySaints are sometimes also referred to as Mormons (a nickname taken from the title of the Book of Mormon).
