| | First Vision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The first recorded allusion to a first vision separate from the purported appearance of Moroni was in the "Articles and Covenants of the Church of Christ". | | | Because of this, Smith may have seen the First Vision, his crystallomancy abilities via the seer stone and the call to translate the Book of Mormon and establish the Church as unconnected events until the Kirtland Temple period or later. | | | Smith participated in recording at least four accounts of the First Vision, the first of which was recorded in 1831 or 1832 (after the Church of Christ was officially organized in 1830). |

| | LDS teaching is, in the words of Stephen L. Richards (a former councilor in the First Presidency), "steeped in the verity of the First Vision." It undergirds the doctrine of an anthropomorphic God and theomorphic man, of the relationships of the persons of the Godhead, and of continual revelation. | | | The First Vision of the Prophet Joseph Smith is the beginning point, the fountainhead, of the restoration of the gospel in this dispensation. | | | It renews the witness of the Hebrew prophets that visions are not the least but the most reliable mortal access to the divine; that the majesty, glory, and power of God are "beyond description"; that the biblical record of face-to-face communion with God is more than a strained metaphor. |

| | First Vision |
| | With all the scriptural evidence against what is stated in the First Vision, "If this First Vision was but a figment of Joseph Smith's imagination, then the Mormon Church is what its detractors declare it to be - a wicked and deliberate imposture." Mormons are worshipping a false God and another Jesus Christ. | | | The real problem is whether or not Joseph Smith actually had a "First Vision" or if he came up with his own "perfect religion" out of his head, as well as trying to come up with some kind of story to cover himself. | | | Mormon Apostle Hugh B. Brown declared: "The First Vision of the Prophet Joseph Smith constitutes the groundwork of the Church which was later organized. |

| | The First Vision |
| | In answer, God Himself and the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to Smith in a vision in the early spring of 1820, telling Smith that none of the churches were right, that Christendom was in apostasy. | | | One problem that Mormon historians admit is that Smith never told any story about a First Vision until at least 1832, twelve years after it supposedly occurred, and then told very contradictory accounts until 1838 when he came up with what is now accepted as the official version. | | | In the official account, Smith notes that his mother and some siblings joined the Presbyterian church, and in accounts given later by Smith's mother and one of his brothers they remembered the names of the Methodist and Presbyterian ministers leading the joint revival effort, Reverends George Lane and Benjamin Stockton, respectively. |

| | THE FIRST VISION |
| | The First Vision is one of the major historical and doctrinal events in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. | | | It was while he was living near Manchester in the spring of 1820, when he was fourteen years of age, that he experienced his first vision, in which he was visited in person by God, the Eternal Father, and his Son Jesus Christ. | | | A professor then, by the first definition, in the context of JS-H 1:19, 22 and 75, is one who accepts (professes belief in) the creeds that were allegedly an abomination in God's sight. |

| | The First Vision |
| | The foundation of the LDS Church, which President McKay says is Joseph's First Vision, is indeed very shaky. | | | On this premise, that the LDS Church is built on the foundation of Joseph Smith's First Vision, we present this information for consideration in the form of a quilt display: | | | The additional questions of why one account was suppressed by the LDS Church for over 130 years, why the discrepancy between known historical dates and the various years to which the revival was assigned, and why there are no traces of a "reformed Egyptian" language, add further to the confusion. |

| | The major portion of that part of the manuscript which relates to the First Vision is in the handwriting of Joseph Smith. | | | It contains an analysis of four accounts of Joseph Smith's First Vision which were produced by William Smith, younger brother of the Prophet. | | | It is, however, possible to derive a great deal of useful information from them, even to the point of being able to correct an important error which has been incorporated into an official history of the Church, but which should now be discarded. |

| | First vision accounts - MormonWiki.org |
| | As Joseph's theology related to the character of God evolved near the end of his life, the first vision became important because it then seemed like evidence to support what Joseph came to believe about God's nature (anthropomorphic; physical body; etc.). | | | In one case, six people signed affidavits testifying that they saw the angel Gabrielle (I think) standing on the roof of a house in front of them in broad daylight, and that he commissioned them to do some things that related to the founding of their church... | | | "The first vision does not seem to have been of much importance to early Church members. |
