Bible Note: Scrpiture Hunt part 2 - The True Church will be a restored Church, (and was restored by Heavenly messengers in 1829!): (Acts 3:19-24) - Apostasy was already happening in New Testament times: (Revelation 2:4-5 AND 14-20) (1st Corinthians 1:11-13) - An angel will announce the Restoration of the Church to the world, in latter days: (Revelation 14:6-7) - His Church has His Name: (Church of Jesus Christ!): (Isaiah 43:6-7) (Acts 4:10-12) - Members are called Saints: (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!): (1st Corinthians 1:1-2) - There is only ONE true, authorized Church: (Ephesians 4:5) - The True Church has a Prophet, and God does NOTHING so far as Church doctrine or establishment or Church-wide administrative decree, except through His Prophet: (Amos 3:7) - The True Church has living Apostles: (Ephesians 4:11-12) - The True Church has ongoing revelation: (1st Thessalonians 5:19-21) (Ephesians 1:17-18) - The True Church has a lay (non-professional) clergy: (Matthew 10:8) (Ephesians 4:11-14) - True ministers can only be called by God's Prophet, within the True Church, in order to have any real priesthood authority to speak or act for God or Christ! : (Hebrews 5:4-5) - Paul would re-baptize people he met, if he learned that they had been baptized by someone without the true priesthood, (which must be passed on by those in authority, by the laying on of hands): (Acts 19:2-5) THE DANGER OF PEOPLE CLAIMING PRIESTHOOD AUTHORITY, WHEN THEY HAVE NONE: (Acts 19:13-20) ETERNAL FAMILIES: (1st Corinthians 11:11) (Mark 10:9) (Genesis 25:8) WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN: (Ephesians 3:14-15) THERE ARE "GODS MANY, BUT ONLY ONE GOD FOR THIS WORLD" : (Psalms 82:6) (1st Corinthians 8:5-7) (Deuteronomy 10:17) HEAVENLY PARENTAGE... (Made in "Their" Image!) : (Genesis 1:26) THE CHURCH WILL EXPERIENCE AT LEAST SOME (if not all) OF THE TRIBULATION! PREPARE NOW, TO BE SHIELDED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS, (As "The righteous need not fear...") DO NOT BE MISLED BY WELL-INTENTIONED PROCLAIMERS OF "THE RAPTURE," WHEREIN THEY CLAIM THE BELIEVERS WILL BE LIFTED OUT OF THE WORLD ENTIRELY BEFORE THE TRIBULATION! (Matthew 24:1-26) THERE WILL BE TWO HOLY CITIES OF GOD ON EARTH: (Isaiah 64:10) (Also Isaiah 4:2-4 and 2:2-3) THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-Day SAINTS (nicknamed The Mormons, after one of Christ's prophets who wrote part of the Book of Mormon,) IS THE TRUE AND AUTHORIZED CHURCH OF JESUS. IT WAS RESTORED AS HE SAID IT WOULD BE, IN LATTER DAYS, TO A LAND OF GENTILES, WITH VISITATIONS BY CHRIST, RESURRECTED APOSTLES, AND ANGELS WHO CONFERRED THE PRIESTHOOD KEYS UPON A CHOICE YOUNG MAN NAMED JOSEPH SMITH IN NY STATE, (1820's.) THE CHURCH IS CONDUCTED WITH ONGOING REVELATION AND PROPHECY. THOSE WHO LIVE ITS PRECEPTS ENJOY A RIGHTEOUS AND FULFILLED LIFE.
