All false religions rely on something other than scripture alone.

Nonsense and ahistorical. If true, then the Hebrews would have been right to reject Moses. The Bible is one long continuing revelation and nothing in the Bible definitively states nor can be construed to imply that revelation will end. Quite the opposite.

Christ tells Peter to expect continuing revelation. It comes, most notably via his trance revealing the time to take the Gospel to the gentiles. Look at the same chapter in Acts 10 for Cornelius's experience.

Cornelius' prayers and offerings are acceptable to God. An angel comes to speak to him. Does anyone still read the Bible or do they just stake out a position based on a few snippets?

A person who wants to be a Christian, a follower of Christ, should absolutely expect continuing revelation, angels, ordination, baptism and an organized, orderly church.

>>a follower of Christ, should absolutely expect continuing revelation, angels, ordination, baptism and an organized, orderly church.<<

Matthew 7:15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Acts 20:29 - For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

So; when "Word comes from 'Heaven'" you'll be ready to receive!


(This should prove quite interesting in the future!)

Christ tells Peter to expect continuing revelation.

(Oh, you mean like from Mormon "prophets" and "apostles," eh?)

Despite Hebrews 1:1-2, Mormons have been told that Jesus can't speak directly to His Church on earth minus going thru the intermediary camped out in Salt Lake City ...even though the writer of Hebrews clearly says that in the PAST God spoke through prophets...now He speaks through His Son, the Living Revelation of God!

(You DO know what the word PAST means, doncha 1010?)

Why has Lds Inc. bumped Jesus Christ out of the picture as the Church's one Living Prophet?
Why has Lds Inc. silenced Him?
Can He not speak directly any more minus having to "relay" everything thru Salt Lake City?

I mean it's downright hypocritical for the Lds Church to insist that God only gives one "prophet" to the church, and then to systematically exclude mention of Jesus Christ as continuing to be THAT SINGLE Living Prophet Himself!!! ...meaning...that the Lds church has replaced Him!

Even though MANY of the Old Testament prophets were contemporaries of each other (God speaking through more than one prophet at a time), Lds Inc. "told" God that He can't do that any more -- they have shut the mouths of God speaking through more than a single prophet.. and what's worse, unlike what Heb. 1:1-2 clearly says -- that Jesus is our everlasting "prophetic" voice we hear (see John 10)...Mormons say "no" -- we've shut up Jesus' voice as well...and we ONLY hear in a church body where "ONLY here is the Lord’s prophet."

Not...The bible tells us that everything we need to know to receive salvation is within the written scriptures...There will be no new doctrines...No new Gospels...No new revelations pertaining to new doctrines...
