The First Vision story, the foundational story of Mormonism, condemns all Christian churches in general and Presbyterianism in particular.
“The Presbyterians were most decided against the Baptists and Methodists, and used all the powers of both reason and sophistry to prove their errors, or, at least, to make the people think they were in error. On the other hand, the Baptists and Methodists in their turn were equally zealous in endeavoring to establish their own tenets and disprove all others…. My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join. I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: ‘they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.’ He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, ‘Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.’ I then said to my mother, ‘I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.’” Joseph Smith—History 1:9, 18-20.
In other words, Mormons have total, complete, utter contempt for my belief in Jesus Christ as the Eternal Son of God.
Every single false gospel-and all of the largest cults to this day-rely upon encounters with “angels” and a repudiation of Scripture.
Pretty hypocritical since you have utter contempt for my LDS belief in Jesus Christ as the Eternal Son of God.
What I do not believe is that Jesus Christ is an equal third of multiple personality deity called the trinity..
*Personages*.... right.
Even Satan can appear as an angel of light.
