Sorry Cherry
There is such a thing as revelation from God through the Holy Ghost.
As a LDS Mormon I’ve had probably a half dozen experiences where i know God approves of my service to him and my beliefs are acceptable to him.
Even in my most disinchanted phases of my 52 year life, I know that to deny those experiences that were a gift from God through the Holy Ghost, would exclude me from his kingdom.
Again I believe with all my heart the God the Father Lives, and that his Son, Jesus Christ is my reedemer through whom I can obtain salvation. Amen

Really? Want to have a contest like Elijah had with the prophets of Baal? I have had many experiences where my God has moved mountains to answer my prayers, showing me beyond any doubt that the hand of God is on my life. Not because I am so good, though. In fact, quite the opposite. Not because of my “good service.” Indeed, my service is terrible. Not because I am so righteous. Indeed, I am a wretch. But because my God is so righteous, because my God is so good, because my God is Just and Faithful even when I am unjust and unfaithful. Such is the difference between my God and yours.
So, want to have a prayer war, you and I? To see which one of us believes in the Living God? Give the challenge, and I shall pray that God answers it, whatever it is.

Then you are a mighty poor representitive of the POWER that JS holds in your church!
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?
