Is it easy to believe, in the highest celestial state, we can read each other minds at vast distances? -

What temples are special to you, and why?

No...I spoke about this and gave references already in the past year. At times, it is good for others to learn to use the search field in Google to aid in finding what is on the web. There is plenty of articles on web to help anyone to read and learn a great deal of what is already provided. The key words is the following: "KIRTLAND TEMPLE" VISITATION ANGELS SAVIOR GOD Hopefully that helps... This is personal opinion here: to all, take a close look at the geological area of Manti to Moroni within the valley area. In the times to come, when the Salt Lake valley becomes a destructible zone from calamities, Manti is an enclose area to control over three million souls until the Lord moves the church back Zion after that area is thoroughly cleans. Now, why would the Prophet Moroni blessed that spot in the first place unless there is a special need for it. Other sites Moroni blessed had others reasons due to the past location events occurred there. Example: Adam-ondi-Aham; Adam not only dwell there, blessed his righteous children, and died there. Kirtland Temple area was also blessed by Moroni and have great significance of a past event. That is why Joseph Smith was commanded to build the temple at that exact spot. Food for thought... -

No...it requires a membership number. Your number will be removed. Sorry to say this. However, I don't know if by Google search, it will bypass the user protocol. -

In this case, I will let you find them...plenty of old journals and church history to see the amount of visions, manifestations, that was seen in and around the Kirtland Temple. There are a few BYU articles talked about this and other temples but, it does not even compare the amount that was seen at this temple. I only suspect the amount of trials the members endured to build this temple that made it possible Pam. Also, being the first temple on the earth in quite some time may had a play in it. However, I will leave this: GOD was seen three times, the Savior nine-times (in and out of the temple), all of the dispensation prophets since Adam, other well known prophets, diver angels, four-destroyers (only three attended with the Lord) angels, and so forth. -
How would you spend large some of money?
Hemidakota replied to Hemidakota's topic in General Discussion
I thought of that last night if I had in the past done a certain specific thing where now, those who did, are either millionaires or billionaires today. For me, this temptation was too great and knowing my own weakness for toys (a lot of fast cars require an oversize 14-car garage and private Boeing Business Jet). We settle for the lesser life (Peter remark to Lucifer on his needs- Temple Endowment Session) and live/build the kingdom of GOD. My wife? She would gladly give it away to those who need it more… -

I am totally against "TITLE X. PROMOTING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE". Unless we provide it for every American, poor to rich, then no. -

Yes...I clearly remember "Swiss Family Robinson" where I stayed and watch it twice. Man...that was so cool. The flat rectangle cherry sticks were the old Jolly Ranchers. They cost around a nickle.

Here is the link: (PDF Fprmat) "How Do I Prepare People for Baptism and Confirmation?" http://www.lds.org/languages/additionalmanuals/preachgospel/PreachMyGospel___19_12_BaptismAndConfirmation__36617_eng_019.pdf

Apostle Boyd K. Packer stated on several occasions concerning Baptism: There is significant symbolism in baptism. Baptism must be by immersion, for it is symbolic of both the coming forth from temporal death, from the grave, and of the cleansing required for redemption from spiritual death. To complete the remission of sins, baptism is followed by the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. Under the plan, baptism is not just for entrance into the Church of Jesus Christ. It begins a spiritual rebirth that may eventually lead back into the presence of God. If we really understood what baptism signifies we could never consider it trivial, nor alter the form of this sacred ordinance. (84–05) Baptism is essential to obtain eternal life. There is an essential ordinance—baptism—standing as a gate through which every soul must pass if he would obtain eternal life. . . . Since baptism is essential, there must be an urgent concern to carry the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. That came as a commandment from Him. (75–06, p. 97) Only when children reach accountability is baptism essential. In the days of the prophet Mormon, some who did not understand that little children are "blameless before God"4 and are "alive in Christ"5 wanted to baptize little children. Mormon said they "[denied] the mercies of Christ, and [set] at naught the atonement of him and the power of his redemption." Mormon sternly rebuked them, saying: "He that supposeth that little children need baptism is in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity; for he hath neither faith, hope, nor charity; wherefore, should he be cut off while in the thought, he must go down to hell. . . . "Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God." Only when a child reaches that age of accountability, set by the Lord at eight years of age,8 is their baptism essential. Before that age, they are innocent. (02–03, p. 8) Keeping our baptismal covenants is essential. Generally we understand that, conditioned upon repentance, the ordinance of baptism washes our sins away. Some wonder if they were baptized too soon. If only they could be baptized now and have a clean start. But that is not necessary! Through the ordinance of the sacrament, you renew the covenants made at baptism. When you meet all of the conditions of repentance, however difficult, you may be forgiven and your transgressions will trouble your mind no more. (97–02, p. 10) Baptism is a call to lifelong service to Christ. Our baptism is a call to lifelong service to Christ. Like those at the waters of Mormon, we are "baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that [we] have entered into a covenant with him, that [we] will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon [us]." (97–04, p. 6) Baptism and confirmation must be tightly fixed together. Missionaries sometimes think they are only to do half the work; they are to teach and then baptize by water, and that concludes their work. In many cases the other half, the teaching about the baptism of fire, never really gets done. Put the two together so that you almost forbid yourself to say "baptism" without saying "confirmation"—that is baptism of the water and confirmation and the conferring of the gift of the Holy Ghost. Get that idea in your mind with those two fixed together so tightly that, as one, it becomes part of you. Then we will not have the first half done, as is often the case at present, and the other half left undone. . . . Missionaries—and parents as well—are to teach both halves: "Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins [and the] laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost."10 Make it one sentence. Fix it in the front of your minds so that when you say one, you say the other, and when you think one, you think the other. Then you will begin to feel and understand, and the promptings will come. (03–08, p. 50)

Baptismal Covenant When a person enters into a Latter-day Saint baptism, he or she makes a covenant with God. Baptism is a "sign…that we will do the will of God, and there is no other way beneath the heavens whereby God hath ordained for man to come to Him to be saved" (TPJS, p. 198). Candidates promise to "come into the fold of God, and to be called his people,…to bear one another's burdens,Â…to mourn with those that mourn, and…to stand as witnesses of God…even until death" (Mosiah 18:8-9). A person must enter this covenant with the proper attitudes of humility, repentance, and determination to keep the Lord's commandments, and serve God to the end (2 Ne. 31:6-17; Moro. 6:2-4; D&C 20:37). In turn, God promises remission of sins, redemption, and cleansing by the Holy Ghost (Acts 22:16; 3 Ne. 30:2). This covenant is made in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The baptized can renew this covenant at each Sacrament meeting by partaking of the Sacrament. This continual willingness to remember Christ and to keep his commandments brings the Lord's promise of his Spirit and produces the "fruits" (Gal. 5:22) and "gifts" (D&C 46) that lead to eternal life.
