Jesus Christ is the First-Born Spirit Son of
Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother and the
Redeemer of All.
Joseph Smith is the Prophet of the Restoration of all things.
The Bible is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
The Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet of the whole world today.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true Church on the earth today.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
