Once again the LDS teachings are at direct opposites of what Jesus declares. When is enough, enough?

“And just as fast as you prove to Him that you will preserve everything secret that ought to be—that you will deal out to your neighbours all which you ought, and no more, and learn how to dispense your knowledge to your families, friends, neighbours, and brethren, the Lord will bestow upon you, and give to you, and bestow upon you, until finally he will say to you, “You shall never fall; your salvation is sealed unto you; you are sealed up unto eternal life and salvation, through your integrity.”— Brigham Young, 28 June 1857, Journal of Discourses, 4:371-372.

I guess Brigham Young never read Ephesians 1:13 ‘We. . . who first trusted in Christ . . . after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.’
They are all about secrets. They are masters of deception at hiding the truth from families, friends, and neighbors.
But they miss the best kept secret that God would make known! The mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.’ 1 Colossians 1:27
AMEN to that! 🙂
