"Only in this way can it be recognized by My Father as the true Church established by His Only Begotten Son among men on earth, yea, in the days when I visit them in My Temple and again, rename those who repent and come to Me, as being the "Church of Christ".

Until this day comes, you resume upon you the name that will given by revelation in the introduction of the fullness of times, so that you may be known among the saints which will be scattered throughout, by the name that will be known as My Church in the last days.

For how much, many Churches of Christ will be established by My servants in every corner of the earth, but woe to him who changes the name that will be revealed by Me the Lord. Be it in small things, in the suppression or addition of My word, or in a point of My doctrine, just as I am going to make known at the the threshold of the fullness of times. -For it is necessary that every tittle or jot of My revelations be restored to their proper place by My church in the last days until all is fulfilled.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, who dare to change one of these point for Me revealed in the last days, shall be considered as transgressors of My doctrine, as it is written in the book of Mosiah; and if the true Name for Me revealed is altered, even that in the little things I reported, it is because My own doctrine has been altered in their hearts, and when this happens, amen to the churches that once were faithful to Me, Jesus Christ.

Not at all, they will not be entirely abandoned, but it will serve My interests until I, Jesus Christ, recover what is Mine and restore their inheritance and My name among the people that I will establish in the land that I have appointed them, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, from the beginning of times.

These, therefore, shall be placed in My left hand, until God deems it expedient, in due time, to bring them back into their true fold, and to lead them again into His right hand, by observing My commandments, as revealed in these My words, when at last these records are revealed among the covenant people in the last days.

Behold, a great deal has already been written by your ancestors concerning the authority that should rule My Church on earth, just as you can inquire into the record of Mosiah on Alma, for having received authority from God, he ordained priests, and organized the Church of Christ in his days according to the ancient Order of My Gospel and commanded that they should teach only the things which he himself taught, which were in accordance with the teachings of the holy prophets of the past up to his days, without ever changing what was written earlier.

So he told them to preach nothing but repentance and faith in the Lord, lest the confusion of the people of his day be increased further, so it will also occur at the end of times, because of the many interpretations that were and will be rooted in My gospel by the precepts of men, thus stifling My sound doctrine

He also commanded them not to contend among themselves, but to look forward with a single purpose, having one faith and one baptism, done under the proper authority that is in the priesthood, and having hearts intertwined in unity and love one to with others."

-From The Sealed Book of Mormon, "The Acts of the Three Nephites", chapter 12, verses 12-20.

The feeling is dramatically different. A different flow, a different spirit. Before I saw where it was quoted from, I said to myself, "this is a mess" who are you quoting."
