As the New Testament makes clear, being a “Spirit-filled” Christian has nothing to do with uttering mindless gibberish, crashing to the carpet in a hypnotic trance, or any other mystical encounter of supposed ecstatic power. Rather, it has everything to do with submitting our hearts and minds to the Word of Christ, walking in the Spirit and not the flesh, and daily growing in love and affection for the Lord Jesus unto the service of His whole body, the church.

There are at least twenty three references in the Bible dealing with false prophets. Some of these references are specific tests to determine if the prophet is a true prophet of God. We will apply just two of these tests to Joseph Smith.

Because of his obedience and faithfulness and by the Law of Eternal Progression he was Exalted and became god.

If you know anything about Mormon doctrine you know that this is the god of Mormonism. His name is Eloheim (or Ahman) and he lives on a planet (or star) nearest the planet Kolob.
