a. gift of indwelling HS to be found NOWHERE outside of Mormonism;
b. It ALONE is the "one living & true church on the face of the earth" (D&C 1:30)
c. No missionary work outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely authorized
d. No baptism outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely authorized
e. No communion outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely authorized
f. No spiritual gifts outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely given
g.
