Isn’t it the duty of believers to come to a knowledge of the truth?
Isn’t that done both my study and by prayer?
Isn’t trruth the domain of the Spirit of Truth?
Isn’t it so that throughout scripture people are asked to do and believe things that were new, foreign, confusing, illogical, or unknowable at that time?
If the Spirit of Truth teaches truth to your spirit, at what point do you reject that because of something you may not understand?
It is arrogant and presumptuous for any of you to dismiss out of hand the witness of the Spirit of Truth to others. It is even worse that you so comfortably deem any such witnesses as demonic. Precisely who do you think you are?
Leaving mormons out of it for a second, if god is not a god of confusion, how else would you describe the current state of christianity? Fractured, fragmented, at odds, confused, subject to countless interpretive variations? Maybe you are clear as to your own beliefs, but why yours over the christian down the road who doesn’t go to your service? Or baptize the way you do? Or who follows one preacher over another? Or a pope?
Perhaps all of those differences don’t matter, as long as mormons and their practices are ridiculed enough.
