| | MORMON CENTRAL - MORMON HISTORY - RESTORATION HISTORY - RESTORATION SCRIPTURES - JOSEPH SMITH - MORMONISM |
 | | As proof of their being led by continuous revelation, Mormons assert that their Church alone is governed by living apostles and prophets. | | | A final text bearing upon the question of continued revelation is Rev. 19:10, "for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." On the basis of this text Mormons hold that anyone who has a genuine testimony to Jesus also enjoys the "spirit of prophecy," which they then equate with modern revelation. | | | The Mormon belief in the possibility of contemporary revelation is not objectionable in itself. |

| | Reachout Trust - LDS Mormon - What about Continuing Revelation? |
| | Almost one hundred and fifty years without revelation in a church that claims to be, above all churches, "the only true church on the face of the earth, and led by a living prophet". | | | From the first vision to the present day continuing revelation is understood to be the lifeblood of the church. | | | In July of 1831, in a "revelation" beginning, "Hearken, O ye elders of my church, saith the Lord your God...", Missouri was identified as "the land which I have appointed and consecrated for the gathering of the saints", Zion (Doctrine and Covenants 57:1-2). |

God has an infinite number of ways to do this. | | | These precautions are not meant to imply that God ceases to enlarge the revelation of himself and spiritual truth to succeeding generations. | | | In Jesus of Nazareth he used both genetic-physical and spiritual means to bring revelation to us in the form of a person. |

| | Revelation |
| | Revelation was the phenomenal, awesome occurrence of the Divine interacting with the mortal world that He had created, and providing guidance and morality to a people who had just left a culture of immorality and strife. | | | Revelation created a deeper level of life for humanity, a partnership with God in love, trust, understanding, and most of all, faith. | | | It has been accepted by the American Jewish community that commandedness is not an issue, and that religion is a take-it-or-leave-it, come-as-you-are event, not the beauty and, as well, the responsibility of a diverse heritage, rich with blessings and curses alike. |

| | Bahá'ís believe that religious revelation is continuous and progressive and that, from the very beginning of human history, God has periodically sent divine educators to the world to guide mankind. | | | These divine educators - Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Abraham, Moses, Christ, Muhammad and, in our own age, the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh - have founded new religions, and yet none of these religions is really new; they are stages in the unfoldment of the same religious truth proceeding from the same God. |

| | Baha'i Apocalypticism: Progressive Revelation, file #5 |
| | This last sentence adds another aspect to the continuity of revelation in that the Manifestation of God is conscious of, and connected, with Manifestations of God in the past (the "predecessor") and of the future (the "successor"). | | | This variation in revelation is, however, not inherent in the Manifestations of God, but is attributed to various worldly, or human factors, and thus the various revelations must differ in their non-essential aspects. | | | Repudiating the claim of any religion to be the final revelation of God to man, disclaiming finality for His own Revelation, Baha'u'llah inculcates the basic principle of the relativity of religious truth, the continuity of Divine Revelation, the progressiveness of religious experience. |

| | The revelations of these ancient men, conveyed oft-times in language too rapt and spiritualised for the comprehension of those who sought them, impressed their ignorant and awe-struck listeners with the belief that they spoke the language of the gods and gave forth the edicts of the unknown beings whom they served. | | | Hence I believe that to the original intuitions of the soul religion is inevitable - religion is a part of self-consciousness, and expresses itself in the invariable forms of prayer, praise, faith, appeal, and worship. | | | The ages have yielded up one ceaseless revelation through chemistry, of the mystery (for such it was to ignorance) of the workmanship of the Creator in compounding these earths, and suns, and systems. |

| | The church was founded by revelation and the human head of the church is the living prophet who holds all the keys and authority that Peter had, and who is entitled to modern revelation from God. | | | Revelation is the rock - Since the church was built on continuous revelation and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it, the true church must be based on continuous revelation. | | | If we interpret the rock to mean revelation, Jesus, the testimony of Jesus, all of the apostles collectively (the apostolate) or Peter (as modern Roman Catholics do), the Mormon position can still be supported. |
