Blaine, do you not see how you put confidence in the arm of the flesh with such a statement? Aren't you making the same mistake as Judaism who thought that only those who were circumcised and approached God through the Temple and the Aaronic priesthood and such could have a covenant with God? I can tell you, Blaine, that I have had none of these things. I have not had the Mormon priesthood conferred upon me, nor have I been baptized by those authorized within that priesthood. Despite this, I have a covenant with God through Jesus Christ, and I have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. So what do you do with me? Do you call me a liar and a messenger of Satan, or is something wrong with your understanding of God's covenants? Would you like to talk about this? Peace be with you.
