| Are prophets needed and functioning on the earth
today? Different churches have different answers to that significant
question. For Catholics and Protestants the answer is “No.”
But the Mormons—members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints—believe the answer is “Yes,” and claim
that modern-day prophets have been called of God to guide their
church today.
This tape examines the scriptural basis for their
belief. It explains the unchangeable nature of God and shows that
He ministered to his people through prophets in both Old Testament
and New Testament times. It tells how the Bible prophesies of future
prophets who will minister in the last days, and reasons that God‘s
church today should be led by prophets.
The speaker goes further,
showing that the existence and acceptance of prophets is a test
by which one may identify the true Church of Jesus Christ today.
He also focuses on the need for authority, showing from the scriptures
that true priesthood authority is necessary for men to perform ordinances
which are acceptable to God, and that those ordinances are essential
for salvation. He builds a strong scriptural case which cannot be
ignored by sincere seekers after religious truth.
