As a young boy, David learns of the Lord and makes covenants with him. Summer 1979 or 1980.
By the time I was six years of age, I had seen my angel friends numerous times; they had taught me, and answered many of my questions. I told practically no one of my experiences as I the very few people I tried to share my visions with mocked them, thinking they were the imaginations of a child; yet I knew them to be true.
A number of times I I had asked to see the Lord but was told I could not; I surmise now it was because I was too young to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, or simply not ready. But, in truth I do not know why I was not permitted to see Him. I know my faith allowed me to dream dreams, have visions, and visits from angels, but I fear that my lack of understanding as a child may have stood in the way of seeing the Lord for myself.
One day, I was sent up for nap time, and as usual, I did not sleep; I was playing when the angel of the Lord appeared and asked me if I would like to speak to the Lord. I answered in the affirmative and was told to go to the window, but that I could not open the curtain. My room was on the second story, so I surmised the Lord would be standing on the ground, but his voice was clearly just on the other side.
I asked the Lord if he was flying; He said, with a voice full of joy, that he was, in a manner. I had been told I was forbidden to touch the angels, and wondered if I could touch the Lord, so I asked him if I could give him a hug, to feel Him with my eyes closed; but the Lord saw through me, asking me if I would peek. I admitted that I would, He laughed with a joy I will never forget and we talked for some time.
He first answered all of my questions and then began to ask me questions; finally, he asked me if I would covenant to serve Him and I told him I would, as he made me happy. After the covenant was made, he left, but as he did so the joy of being in his presence left too. Wanting the Lord to return, I opened the curtains, expecting to see Him, asking him to come back; but he was gone.
I turned back to the angel who told me that once I was baptized and received the Holy Spirit, I could feel that joy all of the time; it was also explained to me that there would still be pain, trials, and hardship. The angel of the Lord told me that our time together would be over soon as he had little left to teach me. The angel said that I would still receive visions and revelations, particularly after I had received the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

David do you believe yourself to be a prophet??
Yes, everyone with a testimony of Christ is a prophet.
In order to be a prophet one must have authority given to him by God through the laying out of hands by those in authority. You say that you are a profit siren revelator given by keys through the laying on his hands from rough file of the archangel.. I tell you now rafael the archangel is an angel only never did he have all of the keys. Thereby he could not have given you the keys thereby you were deceived just as Joseph string was deceived by some Is spirit unknown be a good or evil. You thereby are a false prophet, and thereby are leading people astray. God strictly condemns those who practice homosexual and other lifestyle choices and livelihoods, the acts not the person. By you accepting them you are leading them astray they are not perfect they are impure in their acts and their acts must change if they desire to be sealed for time and all of eternity. You would know this if you had studied if you had done the research but clearly you have not you’ve never studied the voices of the prophets the words of the prophets the gospel which He leads. I myself have seen and spoken with God and his son Jesus Christ yet I claim not to be a prophet because I am not. I have spoken with angels and conversed with them and yet I am not a prophet. I have neither been called of God to be that nor been ordained and given those keys from those who are in authority that being the 12 apostles the prophet and the 1st presidency. You have also not had these things you’ve been deceived by a false spirit you left the church because you felt that what was said in the articles about same sex marriage children Was unfair. But it was not it was misunderstood by you and many others no one ever said that those children could not be baptized what was stated was specifically that in order to be baptized those children must understand the consequences and the knowledge that bi Bing baptized they denounce their parents actions their parents must also fully understand this in order for them to be baptized just as any non member family must understand That their child being baptized condemns certain actions in their lives. That was what was stated it was stated that it must be thoroughly vetted. But you would know this if you had done the research. Clearly you did not clearly you did not pray or ask you were misled by a evil conniving spirit the dark one the devil the father of all lies but unfortunately you can’t denote this or else you denote that your church is false and you are false there is 1 and only 1 true and living I emphasize living church. That church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!
This is a comment I left in response to a visitor to CJCCF.org:
The Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship welcomes all, regardless of denomination. You do not need to share all of my beliefs or anyone else’s to belong to the Fellowship of Christ. What’s import, as Christians, is that we believe the doctrine of Christ. Jesus gave us His doctrine in the Book of Mormon:
“Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you: I will declare unto you my doctrine: And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me; and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me; and whoso believeth in me and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.” -3 Nephi 5:32-34 RAV, 11:31-33 OPV
What many of us don’t realize is the simplicity of the Doctrine of Christ. Unfortunately, Satan takes advantage of this, and we drive people away from Christ as we argue over theologies. Reading Mark 9:38-41:
“And John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.”
And Jesus talks about this again in the Book of Mormon:
“For verily, verily, I say unto you: He that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention; and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger one with another; behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.” -3 Nephi 5:30-31 RAV, 11:29-30 OPV.
So lets not fight over theologies, but become one in Jesus Christ.
I wasn’t arguing over theology. I was stating a blatant part of the gospel. You state that you baptize those who are unworthy of baptism, those unrepentant for certain sins. To this Christ says, “For whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to his soul; therefore if ye know that a man is unworthy to eat and drink of my flesh and blood ye shall forbid him.
Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out from among you, but ye shall minister unto him and shall pray for him unto the Father, in my name; and if it so be that he repenteth and is baptized in my name, then shall ye receive him, and shall minister unto him of my flesh and blood.
But if he repent not he shall not be numbered among my people, that he may not destroy my people, for behold I know my sheep, and they are numbered.”
This scripture is in reference to the Sacrement, but since the Sacrement is a renewal of baptismal covenants the same applies to Baptism. And since God states, “And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” He is setting up marriage between a man and a woman ONLY. By you baptizing and sealing those participating in homosexual and other alternative lifestyle couples, the second which you don’t have the authority to do, is given the sacred to the unworthy. Which goes against Christ’s gospel. Telling people that they need to change to be worthy is what His gospel is all about. I not telling you to stop teaching his gospel. I am telling you to correct how you do it. I am calling you to repentance for your actions. This is what his gospel is all about. And no there is only one prophet seer and revelator on the earth at any given time. And only one with all the keys of the kingdom at any given time.
I speak not in a spirit of contention but in a spirit of chastisement. I am never desirous to fight or argue, I seek only to bring all back to the only true and everlasting gospel.
This is the very definition of arguing over theology. You are staying you opinion mingled with scripture. While I respect your opinion, it is merely one understanding. In the Fellowship of Christ we teach the Doctrine of Christ, as explained above. If you would like to know more about the Fellowship of Christ’s views on baptism please see Doctrines of the Saints Section 14a-14d, if you would like to learn more about our views on marriage, please see Sections 16-18a.
