"I had
been in this Church but a short time when I succeeded in
securing the most perfect knowledge that there was a God,
that there was a Son, Jesus Christ, and that Joseph Smith
was acknowledged of God as His prophet. It was a
knowledge that no man could communicate. It came through
a revelation from the Almighty." Collected Discourses, Vol. 4, Lorenzo Snow, October 5th, 1894 "We, the Latter-day Saints, profess to have received from God the fulness of the everlasting gospel; we profess to be in possession of the holy priesthood—the delegated authority of God to man, by virtue of which we administer in its ordinances acceptably to Him; and we testify to the whole world that we know, by divine revelation, even through the manifestations of the Holy Ghost, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and that He revealed Himself to Joseph Smith as personally as He did to His Apostles anciently, after He arose from the tomb, and that He made known unto him these heavenly truths by which alone mankind can be saved." 31 January 1877, DN, 25:834. |
