"... no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith ..."

This is a different gospel. Whereas JESUS, Peter, Paul, John, Luke, Matthew, and Mark all state that entrance is gained into the kingdom of God through JESUS alone, ... here Joseph has added HIMSELF to the process.

If a perons rejects Moses, calls him a false prophet and spurns all that came from him, does not this same person reject God who sent Moses? We think so.

Likewise with those who reject Joseph Smith, they also reject God. Salvation comes only through Christ, only though the atonement He made can we be forgiven and cleansed from our sins. But if you say you accepted Christ when you rejected his propets, you can expect that to have an effect on the outcome.

Joseph will be held accountable for his ministry here on the earth, he will answer to God and report who did and who did not accept him, and that report will be an important factor in the outcome of each person in this dispensation. He is a serveant of Christ, as we belive "whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same."

And the same thing can be said of Moses with respect to the people of his dispensation, and each other prophet for their people. If Moses can not say of someone that they accepted him as a prophet, they won't enter, they did not really accept Christ.

If this is a actual 'revelation' from Joseph Smith then it is perfectly clear to ME that Mormonism is a false religion.

Would someone on who is a member of LDS please tell me if this is a valid quote.
