Maybe not by 2030 but here are some possibilities:

1. Homosexuality is a sin
2. Book of Abraham written by the hand of Abraham.
3. All references to skin color being a curse.
4. Women barred from the priesthood

#5 is a given. It continues to be taught expressly. Even GBH never implied it is not doctrine.

Yeah, GBH just didn't know about it


It's obvious he did.

"The only true church"

I don't think the first presidency will say that in public anymore.

The view that all other religions are an abomination is part of the LDS canon.

I agree, but, I think they are moving away from it. I haven't been really paying attention for the last couple of conferences but I think the last time someone from the first presidency said it was Eyring in 2008. I could be wrong.

Yes. And they don't have to recycle the Ensign articles - I'd mention one area which is well documented.
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco
- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei
