| + | '''Summary:''' Latter-day Saints affirm that they are "led by living prophets—inspired men called to speak for the Lord, as did Moses, Isaiah, Peter, Paul, Nephi, Mormon, and other prophets of the scriptures. . . . Like the prophets of old, prophets today testify of Jesus Christ and teach His gospel. They make known God’s will and true character. They speak boldly and clearly, denouncing sin and warning of its consequences. At times, they may be inspired to prophesy of future events for our benefit."<ref>[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/prophets?lang=eng "Prophets,"] Gospel Topics in Gospel Library.</ref> |

| |
| − | |subject=Destruction of New York, Albany, and Boston
| |
| − | |summary=Wilford made a prophecy that included the destruction of New York by earthquake, Albany by fire, and Boston by flood. Brigham Young confirmed this as a true revelation.

| − | |subject=President Thomas S. Monson doesn't bear witness of foundational doctrines
| |
| − | |summary=It is claimed that President Monson doesn't bear witness of such doctrines as Joseph Smith's First Vision, the Book of Mormon, etc. Some claim that this implies that he is either downplaying such doctrines or doesn't believe them. However, a review of his talks and addresses demonstrates that this claim is false.

| |
| − | |summary=Critics sometimes impose absolutist assumptions on the Church by holding inerrantist beliefs about scriptures or prophets, and assuming that the LDS have similar views. Critics therefore insist, based upon these assumptions, that any statement by any LDS Church leader represents LDS doctrine and is thus something that is secretly believed, or that should be believed, by Latter-day Saints.
