No.. keys and authority come simply from hand being laid on your head by someone who had hands laid on his head all the way back to our Savior. Never mind that this also means the Catholics and every mormon offshoot also have keys and authority. If you ignore that, it all works out much better.Dusty Wanderer wrote: ↑November 28th, 2022, 6:02 pmAhh, I see what my problem is now. It's my definition of "Win".

So a "community activist" could receive heavenly truth and live it for 20 years before I as a member of the church am allowed to live it?
But those folks still need the ordinances that can only be provided by those with keys. So it's all good. As long as we have those, it really doesn't matter what nonsense we believe or which prophets get thrown under the bus.
Keys. Authority. Follow. Win.And as for "Keys" and "Authority", I've had this misconception about being able to validate claims to such against the manifested spiritual gifts, appropriate to their call or station in the kingdom. My bad.Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall amanifest himself unto you in the flesh. And when he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, the things which he shall say unto you shall ye observe to do.
Christ manifensting Himself to someone in the flesh? Crazy talk. Next you'll be telling me He appeared to a young unimportant farm boy in the middle of the woods. If he were to do that today, it would immediately violate the "House of Order" Law and would overthrow everything He has been carefully building for the last 2 centuries. You clearly have been reading too many scriptures without proper supervision if you think this is the way God would operate.
