*Did Joseph Smith join the Methodist, Presbyterian, or Baptist churches between 1820 and 1830&mdash;despite the claim made in his 1838 history that he was forbidden by Deity (during the 1820 First Vision experience) from joining any denomination?<ref>{{TS1|vol=3|num=9|date=1 March 1842|start=707}}</ref>

<!-- PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE -->
*Do Joseph's alleged actions argue strongly against the reality of any encounter he might have had with God in the Sacred Grove?
 
<!--*It is claimed that "at some point between 1821 and 1829," after the First Vision, that Joseph served as “a very passable exhorter” ''at Methodist camp meetings'' being held “away down in the woods, on the Vienna Road.” Since one could not be a licensed "exhorter" at such meetings unless one were a member of the Methodist church, critics therefore claim that this indicates that Joseph became a church member.-->
 
*Did Joseph became a member of Emma Hale Smith's Methodist congregation in 1828?

We turn now to the many sources (both friendly and hostile) that claim that Joseph had no formal affiliation with any religious denomination during this period.  Critics typically leave these sources safely unmentioned.
