Now obviously knowledge is the destroyer of ignorance, but knowledge is by definition empirical, provable and factual. This seems at odds with your post as a whole which seems to be in praise of faith rather than knowledge. You illustrate how Paul’s knowledge of scripture mislead him but his faith in his vision corrected him.
Faith is I believe the ability to trust in and rely upon the unproven and the unprovable abstracts such as the mysterious and unknown divine nature of God, is that a correct assessment in your opinion?
I don’t think you can claim faith in personal revelation as knowledge, because if so then anyone of any faith, or even of no faith who has the instinctive certainty of being right, whether they think it from God, Allah, Yahweh, Vishnu or subconscious instinct has an equal claim to moral or religious certainty.

Is that really what you meant to say?

I think firstly there is a difference between the full on vision of Paul and the internal witness that Mormons have felt. Also this by no means sets a biblical precident for an internal witness or even a vision to be the measure of truth contrary to scripture.

Acts 17 and 18 is an excellent place to look to see Pauls absolute reliance on and respect for the scriptures as a way of knowing what is true, in 17:11 we see the Bereans without any kind of vision going to the scriptures to test the validity of Pauls message, in 2 Timothy 3:16 we see that scripture is to be used for reproof and correction.

So while visions are one means by which God draws people to Himself even today none of this takes away from the need to judge all things against scripture which is where Mormonism heavily falls down. You saying you have felt the Spirit more in Mormonism is something many people have said for many religions past present and future to be fair including from mine, however this in itself is not a good guide for truth.

The video presented on this post is one of many, many cases of people leaving Mormonism as they dare to look deeper into its historical and biblical issues than just relying on their feelings.

You can only know that the Church of Jesus Christ is true by revelation from God. If you don’t receive that knowledge then you will walk in ignorance.

I was an evangelical Christian. Yes it’s great taking one or two verses out of Bishop Athansius’ collection of favourite books and pretending that you’re going to heaven because you said a prayer once or came forward to the altar. Yes we all loved Romans. 10:9 but weren’t so keen on Roman 2:6-7. I had never experienced the Holy Spirit until I met with the LDS missionaries. I had only witnessed Gods saved souls babbling manically with contorted faces and throwing thenselves on the floor. The holy, calm , powerful, sanctifying, intelligent spirit that accompanied the LDS missionaries was something entirely new to me.
