Ninety Five Thesis Topics 6-10

6. PERSONAL TESTIMONY

the time is coming when we will be mixed up in these now peaceful valleys to the extent that it will be difficult to tell the face of a saint from the face of an enemy against the people of God.
“Then is the time to look out for the great sieve, for there will be a great sifting time, and many will fall.
“For I say unto you there is a test, a Test, A TEST coming.” (J. Golden Kimball, p. 364)

7. PERSONAL WITNESSES

It is the privilege of every Elder to speak of the things of God; and could we all come together with one heart and one mind in perfect faith the veil might as well be rent today as next week or any other time ….” Joseph Smith (T.P.J.S. p. 9)

8. REVELATION

“When new revelation ceases to be given officers cease to be called of God.” (Orson Pratt’s Works, p. 40)

9. A PECULIAR PEOPLE

“When the children of Israel were chosen with Moses at their head, they were to be a peculiar people, among whom God should place His name;…” Joseph Smith (T.P.J.S., p. 252)

10. FASHIONS

“There was a time when we could walk up and down the streets and tell by the very countenances of men whether they were Latter-day Saints, or not; but can you do it now? You can not, unless you have greater discernment and more of the Spirit and power of God than I have. Why? Because many are trying as hard as they can to transform themselves into the very shape, character, and spirit of the world. Elders in Israel, young men, mothers and daughters in Israel are conforming to the world’s fashions, until their very countenances indicate its spirit and character. This course is to the shame and disgrace of those who are so unwise.” (Joseph F. Smith, J.D. 11:310)
