Sentinel speaks the truth, the LDS church lies about a lot to its members. We both found that out the hard way.
And how do you KNOW it is the Holy Spirit? Quite simply ANY unique doctrine of the LDS can be DISPROVED using the Bible in context and the Holy Spirit will not testify of things that are not Biblical.
Therefore, what the LDS think is the Holy Spirit is quite possibly a demon.
There is NOTHING NOTHING in the Bible that says we are to trust our feelings for truth or pray to know if something is true. Rather we are to be like the Bereans and study. God gave us brains and expects us to use them. Mormons use feelings not brains.
Just like the scripture says, only a fool would say "this gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my bosom it must be the God's eternal truth".
All things must be tested against the bible. God's truth has not passed away.
