FairMormon, "Spencer’s Visions of Glory"
Gregory L. Smith, FairMormon, (2013)[1] Visions of Glory’s portrayal of Jesus Christ and His method of interacting with the Saints is not consistent with scripture. [2] Visions of Glory teaches doctrines that contradict LDS scripture and prophets. [3] Prophets and apostles have repeatedly taught that it is inappropriate for members to publicize such material without permission from the President of the Church. [4] Spencer claims he will receive authority independent of the Church and its leaders. [5] Anonymous accounts cannot be verified.
Readers of Visions of Glory may wish to compare LDS teachings and doctrines that differ from the book’s teachings.
