That was THEN!
What about NOW??
Oh, the places you will go!
And many WILL not 'dwell' on HERESY until it smacks them upside the noggin!
Once an 'organization' starts teaching about things OTHER than Christ; THEN that 'simple Christian' is going to have to make OTHER decisions...
The NT wasn't written as a mere thing to use up paper...
“... but most of all I love Jesus Christ. He is my Savior and King.”
Sure, but which Christ???
The fake, created mormonic Christ, who later became a mormon god?
Or the eternal Jesus Christ of the Bible, neither created, nor made, but eternally God.
If it is the first, your love is meaningless and cannot save.
If it is the second, I am truly happy for you. You should come out from among them and be holy.
This is my son; he don't say nuttin'.
There is no try: just do.
I see you’re finally getting it!
Now; about that REJECT or ACCEPT question you are avoiding like the plague...
WARNING!!
Put on your MIB glasses!!
I'll go out on a limb and say it appears that you love the MORMON religious organization even MORE than it's Christ.
Sigh...
You ain't prophet material; as one of THEM would have CONFOUNDED us - not the other way around!

DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 71
Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238–239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.
1–4, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 5–11, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.
1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.
2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.
3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.
4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.
5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;
6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.
7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.
8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.
9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;
10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.
11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.
