Many years ago I stood at the bedside of a young father as he hovered between life and death. His distraught wife and their two children stood nearby. He took my hand in his and, with a pleading look, said, “Bishop, I know I am about to die. Tell me what happens to my spirit when I do.”
I offered a silent prayer for heavenly guidance and noticed on his bedside table a copy of the triple combination. I reached for the book and fanned the pages. Suddenly I discovered that I had, with no effort on my part, stopped at the 40th chapter of Alma in the Book of Mormon. I read these words to him:
“Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, … are taken home to that God who gave them life.
“And … the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow” (Alma 40:11–12).
As I continued to read about the Resurrection, a glow came to the young man’s face and a smile graced his lips. As I concluded my visit, I said good-bye to this sweet family.
I next saw the wife and children at the funeral. I think back to that night when a young man pleaded for truth and, from the Book of Mormon, heard the answer to his question.

9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.
Wow, this looks like something Hugo Chavez would write. Seriously, how do Mormons defend against this? It has "controlling cult" written all over it.
Where exactly does this site list LDS under "other Christian"??? The fact that is a topic choice is not an endorsement...it also presents the topic choice "other NON-Christian" which is the accurate listing for mormonism.
Members of the LDS Church are Christians on steroids...there is again, the usual "neener, neener we are better than you" claim made all the time by mormons...such arrogance!
Defend against WHAT??
THAT ain't SCRIPTURE!!

Trinitarian is NOT in the Bible the conception of the Trinity was decided by the Council of Nicene.
The conception of "mormon" was invented by the mind of Joseph Smith.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
