I was not prepared for the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost. How can you be lest some wise man gives you some of his wisdom. There was no such a pastor for me.
Here is what I'm doing. Aspire to be your best. Your best thoughts and desires come from God. I have a long way to go towards being my best, but I'll let you know where I get there.
Please PM me any particulars of you actual experience if you would like. Thanks.

He and his wife, Leonora, joined the Church in 1836. Two years later, he became an Apostle and enjoyed close association with Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

mokska, certain as I am that this reply is trite, possibly clever if not altogether amusing, and fully insincere yet it fails me to know what. Unless perhaps those are wines. Then I would say sitting on the hillside of Sugar House Park observing The Apocalrock while winebibbing would be a fine afternoon for a winebibber. Alas I think you would have to brown bag your bottle as drinking in the park if forbidden. I think so.

Yes, I just looked back and found your question. I meant a revealed religion form God. When I studied many other Christian religions, I found that in almost all cases, the founder of that particular religion did not even claim to be a prophet.
