"... 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 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.

The quote is valid, but I think you are being lead to attach a meaning to it that is not a correct protrayal of our doctrine.
Joseph is a SERVANT of Christ, not a replacement in any way. It is Christ who attoned for us, and it is only by Christ we can return. We worship Christ, we do not worship Joseph, although we have great respect for what he did. As I said before, God is our judge, Christ is our advocate, and our acceptance or rejection of God's prophets is valid evidence that will effect the outcome.
