My daughter is seven years old. We have been reading the Gospel Principles manual for a while now. Today, after reading the first part of Chapter 16: The Church of Jesus Christ in Former Times, there was a question to answer. Why does the Church of Jesus Christ need these six features? (Those features are, Revelation, Authority from God, the Church Organization, First Principles and Ordinances, Ordinances Performed for the Dead, and Spiritual Gifts.)
This was her answer:
Without spiritual gifts you would’t be able to have visions, prophesy, or perform miracles. Everything gets out of order without the Holy Ghost.
Without the Holy Ghost we wouldn’t know what to do. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit and you can’t have Spiritual gifts wihout the Holy Ghost.
If we never taught the spirits of the dead they’d never hear the Gospel and never get to accept the Gospel. How can you accept something you don’t know about? That’d be a little silly. It wouldn’t make sense.
If we didn’t have authority from God we wouldn’t have revelation or the church organization. It would be like we had nothing, no church.
