September 21 – No Works Required to have God’s Spirit! John 14:16-18; “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”

My heart breaks as I think of the Mormon who sits daily wondering if the ‘Holy Spirit could just come to him’. Jesus promises us the Comforter if we only believe, but the Mormon has no idea that this wonderful gift from above (God) can be for him personally. Let him know the truth today.

“The gift is bestowed only by the laying on of hands. A legal administrator, who actually represents Deity, promises the newly baptized person that he, on certain terms and conditions, can gain the constant companionship of the Spirit. The gift is reserved for the Saints.” Bruce R. McConkie, Sermons and Writings of Bruce R. McConkie, 98.
What does God say about liars, especially when the lie is pointed toward His Word?
Scary in every sense of the term. 🙁
Mr. McConkie…the LDS church doesn’t have enough ” legal administrators who actually represent “deity”⬅️( who says that BTW?), to baptize”.
If the LDS church is the ONLY TRUE church, they don’t have the manpower behind their priesthood.
And God’s Holy Spirit doesn’t come and go like our high school boyfriends or girlfriends. He is so much more faithful than that. God already knows we are going to mess up…right? So why would He even waste His time giving us His HS already knowing this.
Clearly, McConkie’s god has no power.
I hope this makes sense.
Oh it makes sense. Sadly so I might add/ 🙁
