No but the need for direct revelation was emphasized...something too easily forgotten.


What direct revelations have come about through this realization?

You'd have to ask the people who received them. I only know of a few.

Help me understand, are you saying that most new converts are also Lamanites?

No, though most Hispanic converts are and where I live they make up around 60% of our converts.

Nehor, is there a need for Lamanites to be of direct Jewish heritage, or can they simply be adopted into the tribe of Laman? I suppose either way that would make them chosen.

There is no tribe of Laman.
