|subject=The "burning in the bosom" in Mormonism as a method of determining truth
 
|summary=Critics complain that the LDS appeal to "revelation" or a "burning in the bosom" is subjective, emotion-based, and thus unreliable and susceptible to self-deception. Sectarian critics also belittle appeals to spiritual experiences, comparing them to "warm fuzzies," or merely something "felt by simply watching a Hollywood movie."
 
|sublink1=Question: Is a "burning in the bosom" simply a subjective, emotion-based, unreliable way to practice self-deception?
 
|sublink2=Dallin H. Oaks (1997): "Surely, the word “burning” in this scripture signifies a feeling of comfort and serenity. That is the witness many receive. That is the way revelation works."
 
|sublink3=Question: Why do critics of Mormonism who belong to other religions discount spiritual experiences?
 
|sublink4=Question: Can a person "feel the spirit" while watching movies?
 
|sublink5=Dr. Wendy Ulrich (2005): "How do the goosebumps and tearfulness I experience when someone speaks in a testimony meeting differ from the goosebumps and tearfulness I experience when the 4:00 parade begins at Disneyland?"
 
|sublink6=Question: Can someone feel the spirit when listening to stories of apostasy?
 
|sublink7="Recognizing the Voice of the Spirit" (Podcast): "How can I come to know that spiritual experience is not just a product of chemical processes in the brain?"

|summary=Critics charge that since LDS doctrine teaches that a body is required for exaltation, the Holy Ghost cannot be fully God, because he does not have a physical body.

|summary=I have heard a few claims about certain Church leaders saying that Joseph Smith is the Holy Ghost (or "held the office of Holy Ghost"). Are there quotes or citations supporting or alluding to this somewhere?

|link=Book of Mormon/Moroni's promise
 
|subject=Moroni's promise
 
|summary=Critics have made a variety of attacks Moroni's promise (Moroni 10:3–5): They claim that praying about the Book of Mormon is not an objective standard for determining if the book is true or not, and should therefore not be trusted. They claim that many people have read and prayed about the Book of Mormon and have either received no answer, or an answer from God that it is false.
 
|sublink1=Question: What is Moroni's promise?
 
|sublink2=Question: Is prayer the only element required in the determination of truth?
 
|sublink3=Question: What about those who pray and don't receive a confirmation the Book of Mormon is true?
 
|sublink4=Preach My Gospel: "As you pray for inspiration, you should also confirm your feelings...Certainly the Spirit of the Lord can bring strong emotional feelings, including tears, but that outward manifestation ought not to be confused with the presence of the Spirit itself"
 
|sublink5=Question: How can we tell if a modern revelation comes from God or Satan?
