As I understand it, every male Mormon in good standing over the age of 12 is an “elder”.

- - - - - - -
Every “worthy” male member of the LDS over the age of 12 is ordained to the LDS priesthood. “Elder” is one of the offices of the second or “higher” priesthood.

LDS priesthood goes like this:

# Deacon - Age 12
# Teacher - Age 14
# Priest - Age 14
# Elder - Around age 18/19; for converts soon after baptism
# High priest - Adult men usually after they have been called as a “bishop”.

CORRECTION: Priest is 16, not 14 as in my prev post.

LDS priesthood goes like this:

# Deacon - Age 12
# Teacher - Age 14
# Priest - Age 16
# Elder - Around age 18/19; for converts soon after baptism
# High priest - Adult men usually after they have been called as a “bishop”.

So then; them boys are GENTILES ‘til they turn 12??

Don’t the GIRLS get any special labels?

# High priest - Adult men usually after they have been called as a “bishop”.

 

 

No thanks: I already HAVE a High Priest.

Hebrews 9:8-12

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

[Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation.

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].
