Doctrine and Covenants 24:1; “Behold, thou wast called and chosen to write the Book of Mormon, and to my ministry; and I have lifted thee up out of thine afflictions, and have counseled thee, that thou hast been delivered from all thine enemies, and thou hast been delivered from the powers of Satan and from darkness!” [emp. mine]
Doctrine and Covenants 20:8; “And gave him power from on high, by the means which were before prepared, to translate the Book of Mormon”. [emp. mine]
1 John 1:7-8; Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”
Oops.
Perhaps it was a Freudian slip, but you’d think by now the Church would’ve ‘fixed’ this one! We think of this as a gift from the Lord. It serves as yet another reason why Mormonism is not what it purports itself to be.
PAUL’S MISSIONARY TRIPS? BY STEVE FINNELL
When the apostle Paul went on his mission trips did he take a representative from the Church of Judaizers, The Lutheran Church, The Roman Catholic Church, The Baptist Church, The Mormon Church, The Church of Seventh Day Adventist, The Jehovah’s Witness Church, The Christian Science Church, The Masonic Church, The Pentecostal Church, The Methodist Church? Did Paul believe that all denominational churches needed to preach their various plans for salvation?
Paul only taught one way to be saved. He did not believe in interdenominational mission trips.
The apostle Paul said; Galatians 1:8 But if we or angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. (NKJV)
Romans 16:17-18 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. (NKJV)
NOTE: The aforementioned denominations do not preach the same doctrine of salvation that the apostle Paul preached. Paul taught the apostles’ doctrine and the apostles’ doctrine only. The apostles’ doctrine is found in the Bible alone.
SAVED BY FAITH: John 3:16, Acts 16:30-34
SAVED BY REPENTANCE: Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19
SAVED BY CONFESSION: Romans 10:9-10, Acts 8:35-38
SAVED BY IMMERSION IN WATER: Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:20-21, Acts 22:16, John 3:5, Titus 3:5, Galatians 3:26-27, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-7, Ephesians 5:25-27, Colossians 2:11-13
Paul taught all four requirements in order to be saved.
