After reading that an Apostle for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Russell M. Nelson, stated that the Lord had declared by revelation that this denomination was not to baptize children if their parents were in a same-sex relationship, regardless of worthiness, I inquired of the Lord.
2
Was this of God? And if so, what should the Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship do in light of this supposed revelation?
3
Upon prayer, and peaceful meditation, I received the following:
4
¶ My servant David, I see that thou are troubled as to the things of the flesh.
5
Behold, mine apostle, even Russell M. Nelson, has stated that I, the Lord his God and your God reject the children of polygamists and homosexuals;
6
But behold, this is not so, and this thing is of man and not of me; for did I not create all flesh?
7
And do I not see all flesh with no respecter of persons?
8
Yea, and did I not say unto my disciples, while in the flesh: Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones.
9
Yea, and when I visited the Children of Lehi and of Mulek and their peoples, after mine resurrection, I stated unto them: All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
10
Therefore, it is not of me, nor of my Father, nor of the Holy Spirit to reject children because of their parents.
11
¶ Behold, for this cause came I into the world: that all men and women might become as children and worship the Father in my name;
12
Therefore, ye shall teach those of my Fellowship to baptize their children at the age of accountability, even all they that desire to come unto me;
13
For these are the days of the probation of man, and in them shalt all men and women repent and come unto me,
14
And I will save mankind from their sins, even as many as will repent and strive to follow the Holy Spirit of God.
15
¶ Behold, my grace is sufficient to save all who will come unto me, being in the Church of Latter-day Saints or in the Fellowship of Jesus Christ or any other branch of the Church of Christ: for all these share in my holy priesthood;
16
Therefore, I say unto thee: Baptize all those that come unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit; for these are of me.
17
¶ Go forth and do my works and worry not what other men do; yea, preach mine gospel in my name, and bring those that would come unto me; this shall suffice.
18
Condemn not other branches of the Church of Christ, for contention is not of me; but build bridges that all may come and worship the Father in my name;
19
And this ye shall do, for it is my work, and ye shall do it in my name; So mote it be, Amen.
