Saying that it is possible to receive a personal visitation from Jesus, is not saying that Person U received such in X place at Y time, and Z are the details of that appearance. Can you tell the difference?
the road to hana wrote: Yes, I can tell the difference. Apparently you cannot, since that's exactly what I've been saying all along. Possible to receive a personal visitation is something quite different from your original claim.
By the way, just for your information, records on who had or had not received the Second Anointing were available up until about the 1940's, and since that time, are no longer made available. Prior to that time, over 21,000 persons, living and dead, had received the ordinance. And for those who received the ordinance in earlier generations, it was discussed openly and recorded in journal entries.
And evidently you also cannot tell the difference between "did" and "does."
I don't know about smilies, but we definitely need a dead horse alert.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

What a monstrosity! 14,000 sq ft with an elevator, a full on theatre, and an in-laws cottage, all nestled on 1.5 acres of woodland on a private road in Rameumptonville. I bet Jesus could stay there for a month before actually running into anyone inside the home. Plus, its all mormonified, will soon be dedicated, and clearly endorsed by God because my friend cannot stop telling me how financially blessed they have been for paying a full tithe.
Yeah. And what is their business?
From whom do they really get their wealth?

I was thinking if Jesus went to the America's around 40 years after his ressurection, then wouldn't that be the secon coming? Is it then ok to say the second coming has already came?

Jesus is God. Not God the Father. God the Son.
When we talk about The Second Coming, this is His coming glory and appearing to the whole world. So, no, it isn't correct to say that Second Coming has already happened.
Jesus IS NOT God!!!!!! He might well be A God when we are Judged and he is exalted to Godhood. But in the mean time whilst we exist on earth Jesus is NOT God.
Or a God of any kind for that matter. He is and was a MAN.

So I suppose that limits his lodging options to LDS temples, LDS ward or stake centers, Marriott Hotels, or Utah McMansions. I suppose there won't be any "Motel 6" quality places left for him.
You are so wrong. All the good men of the earth will still be here. That will include a lot of non-LDS.
This idea that only LDS will survive the endtimes destruction is a common lie told about the teachings of the Church to try to make other people misunderstand and hate us.
Now, that just sounds paranoid. I've never heard that story anyway, much less that is was "to try to make other people misunderstand and hate us."
The idea that members of any one religion will be the only ones less is not limited to the LDS folks (if it is even thought about that way). The Jehovah's Witnesses think they are the 144,000 of the Book Of Revelation.
