So which of the 100 or so extant sects of Mormonism is the standard for interpreting the Standard Works? Surely, it must be one of those groups who hold to D&C 132:4, right? Unless, of course, an everlasting covenant only lasts for a little while.

That's GOOD!

Almost on the order of: How many UNCLEAN animals did Moses take on the Ark?

Let me work through this..

The Roman Catholic Church considers the Protestant denominations to be heretical and considers the Eastern Orthodox divided from them. The Eastern Orthodox considers both the Catholic Church and the Protestant denominations to be heretical. I guess that about covers all of us.

Thanks for your reply.

For purposes of election to office? None. That, of course, is my point. Individuals decide, but my heresy may be your orthodoxy.

In more general terms, for Christianity, the Nicene Creed is a common standard, but it’s use and interpretation vary greatly. I would say the divinity of Christ and the Most Holy Trinity and the canon of Holy Scripture are bare minimums for most.
