Today we’re looking at a speech given by Delbert L. Stapley from 1977. The underlying message of his talk screams cult behavior with the comments that Mormonism is the only true church. His speech is a classic sign of a cult.

Ensign, “What Constitutes the True Church,” May 1977, p. 21; “We know that all truth does emanate from God and is therefore unchangeable, consistent, and unified. Consequently, not all Christian churches with their dissimilar teachings can provide a fulness of truth. My intent is to assert with testimony and persuasion of scripture the reasons there can be only one Lord, one acceptable faith, one baptism, and one true church.
