LDS.org, Gospel Topics, ‘Holy Ghost’; “After a person is baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, one or more Melchizedek Priesthood holders lay their hands on the person’s head and, in a sacred priesthood ordinance, confirm him or her a member of the Church. As part of this ordinance, called confirmation, the person is given the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The gift of the Holy Ghost is different from the influence of the Holy Ghost. Before baptism, a person can feel the influence of the Holy Ghost from time to time and through that influence can receive a testimony of the truth. After receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, a person has the right to the constant companionship of that member of the Godhead if he or she keeps the commandments…”
Acts 10:47-48; “Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
Questions of the day –
How does the Mormon Church reconcile their teachings with scripture we’ve listed here?
Is this another one of the misinterpreted parts of the Bible?
How do they explain Acts 10:44 that says the Holy Ghost fell upon all of them while Peter was sharing the gospel?
