Priesthood of God
Doctrines of Salvation 3:80; “Man cannot act legally in the name of the Lord unless he is vested with the priesthood, which is divine authority. No man has the power or the right to take this honor to himself. Unless he is called of God, as was Aaron, he has no authority to officiate in any of the ordinances of the gospel; should he do so his act is not valid or recognized in the heavens. The Lord has said his house is a house of order, and he has given the commandment that no man shall come unto the Father but by his divine law which is established in the heavens. All men who assume authority, but who have not been properly called, will have to answer for their acts in the day of judgment.”
