You can also join the discussion in the Facebook Group 'Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me'.
Join us as we continue our study of the First Vision as we prepare for the special Bicentennial General Conference tomorrow. We focus on the actual event today and consider what principles we learn about revelation and the centrality of the Saviour in our faith.
Robert D Hales: The revealed truths of the restored gospel came through the pattern of seeking in prayer and then receiving and following the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Consider these examples: translating the Book of Mormon; the restoration of the priesthood and its ordinances, beginning with baptism; and the organization of the Church—to name a few. I testify that today, revelation from the Lord to the First Presidency and the Twelve comes according to this same sacred pattern. This is the same sacred pattern that allows personal revelation.
