President Gordon B. Hinkley, like his predecessors, is a true prophet of God. He is the only prophet, seer, and revelator for this church. I know this for a fact. I love to hear him speak in meetings and General Conference. I know that what he says it true, and no one else can tell me otherwise.

For something so long, I doubt you would recieve much answers because people can't be bothered reading all that.
All I will say, is seen that, heard that, been there, done that, disregard that.

sorry to much to read but we must follow Jesus and look to him not false prophets which are still popping up all over.

Mormonism is not the true word of God. OT and NT warns people that rewriting and changing the Word has the worst punishment in hell.
Do you really believe you are a god?
Do you really believe lucifer is jesus's brother?
How do you explain all the freemasonic rituals and symbols in mormonism?
the all seeing eye of horus, the compass and square, the apron of the priests, the handshakes, and the fact that Joseph smith was a 33rd degree scottish rite freemason and treasure hunter, who dabbled in the occult to find treasure, and that mormons still cohort with spirits and demons.

A Time for Revival
Scripture:
“The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Timothy 4:3 4 NKJV
Paul prophesied that the time would come when people would not be willing to “endure sound doctrine.” They would have “itching ears.” They would refuse to recognize God’s messengers or believe that His Word is true. Instead of living according to God’s time tested, eternally true standards, they would live according to their own rules and find teachers to reinforce their own desires. Instead of accepting the Bible as God’s Word, they would reinterpret it to satisfy their own subjective opinions. They would set themselves up as gods and reject anything they don’t agree with or understand.
Today, the world is filled with people with “itching ears.” Christians are often accused of having foolish beliefs and being hopelessly out of date, and there can be great pressure to conform. But we cannot give in to worldly perspectives or concede defeat.
God calls each of us to a renewed commitment to His truth. He calls us to base our lives, our decisions, our thoughts, and our plans on His Word. He calls us to submit ourselves wholeheartedly to Him and seek His will. He calls us to listen to His voice and the leading of His Spirit. He calls us to obedience, trusting that He is God and that His Word is true!
Today, commit yourself anew to pleasing God and living according to His Word. Don’t compromise. Pray for a move of God’s Spirit around the world and a return to Godly standards. Pray for revival in our time.
Prayer:
Father, help me to resist the pressure to conform. I believe that Your Word is true, and I will base my life upon it. Bring revival to my nation and the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Title
THEY HAD BEEN WITH JESUS
by Derek Joseph Levendusky

A few years ago, I was praying for revival, and the Holy Spirit spoke to me, “If you’re going to see a revival of souls, first you need to see a revival of laborers.”
So my prayer changed. “Lord,” I cried, “send a revival of laborers who will fulfill the Great Commission!”
The Holy Spirit spoke to me again. “If you’re going to see a revival of laborers, first you need to see a revival of worshippers. If my children will love Me with all their heart, they’ll love the lost with all their heart.”
So my prayer changed again. Now I’m trusting God to fan the flames of a worship movement that will become a missions movement in this generation. Daniel 11:32 says, “They that know their God shall be strong and do great exploits.” Knowing God is the prerequisite for doing anything great for Him. Acts 4:13 says, “Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”
It is a great tragedy when men and women seek to fulfill the Great Commission to “go into all the world” (Matthew 28:19) without first fulfilling the Great Commandment to “love the Lord with all your heart” (Matthew 22:37). Paul said that even if we surrender our body to be burned, but have not love , we gain nothing! Oh, may we be moved by the love of God to reach the nations!
I believe God is raising up a generation that will be moved by His heart, and like Paul the Apostle, cry out before a lost world, “The love of Christ compels me!” (2 Corinthians 5:14) John Piper dedicated a whole book to this topic, which he titled Let the Nations Be Glad . He wrote, “Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak. Churches that are not centered on the exaltation of the majesty and beauty of God will scarcely kindle a fervent desire to ‘declare his glory among the nations’ (Psalm 96:3).”
He also wrote, “Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t.”
I have traveled all over the world ministering to youth, and have seen God birthing a worship movement among the nations. I believe the worship movement sweeping across the earth today will transform into a great missions movement. This is what God is doing in our day! As this young generation draws close to God, it is impossible for them not to be moved by what moves God. This movement will affect our own schools, our own campuses, our own cities, our own country, and will affect the foreign fields of the world.
For years my band Isaiah 6 and I would be invited to two different kinds of events: 1) worship events for youth, and 2) missions events. I would notice several things at these events. At worship events, I noticed that the average age is very young. The worship movement is very young, hip, and cool. It is full of life, but also potentially ingrown. At missions events, I would notice that the average age is very old, and I would find myself asking, “Where are the young people that are answering the call to go?”
Our prayer is that the worship movement and missions movement will collide at Beyond the Song. Imagine with me thousands of young men and women getting away from the world for three days, gathering together to worship God and listen to His heart. Imagine those young men and women crying out, like Isaiah, “Here am I. Send me!” Imagine them actually going to the nations of the world, full of the love, the Word, and the power of God. What would happen?
I believe that God is raising up this generation that has been with Jesus to reach this world for Christ. Prophet-musician Keith Green once said, “This generation of Christians is responsible for this generation of souls on the earth.”
By the grace of God and love of God, we will go and finish the job.
Derek Joseph Levendusky is the founder and director of Isaiah 6 Ministries and Beyond the Song.

I love President Hinckley! He is so wonderful and any person in tune with the spirit need only look at him and know that he is truly a prophet. His countenance is bright, happy and to me reflects the Savior.

I didn't bother to read the stuff after your first question. He is a false prophet, but he is honest though! The comments that I refer to are the ones he made at the annual conference about the God of Mormonism not being that of the Bible.

Okay, my personal testimony is that when I first saw a printed picture of him, I could see the love and light in his eyes, akin to that which I have seen in the eyes of true spiritual leaders like DT Suzuki, Dalai Lama, etc. Those weren't the eyes of Jim Baker, Osama Bin Laden or Kim Il Joong. So I felt inituitively that GBH is a Prophet, (not a punk band).
That being said, I have read his 'mundane' book on virtues and find his insight to bee keen and accurate. In one sense, we are all prophets, and have the full potential to be…because God can bestow this upon us if we simply ask with humble faith. So humility is a quality of a prophet, and GBH exemplifies this.
On a humorous level, if you were the head of a 12 million strong church, wouldn't you have to be prophet…otherwise what would keep you from going bonkers?
One thing I am concerned about is the romanticisation and proximal deification of the Prophet. Some folks treat him with the same reverence they hold for Christ. This includes the current prophet as well as Jos Smith. When LDS members say that GBH or Jos Smith are 'perfect', "flawless", or justify 'every' one of their actions as God-drected, then I smell religion, not spirituality. God is the ultimate authority, we are but trusted servants, to paraphrass Tradition 2 of NA.
Being a prophet subjects a person to harsh persecution (Daniel, Alma) death (Abinadi), deep spiritual trials (Ruth) and a need to completely throw out what they know about 'the Truth' (Habbukuk). And this is just in the Xian tradition. Go beyond this to prophets of Islam, Daoism, Hinduism, and all the New Religions and one finds that the world is quite crowded with prophets. To me, there is a reason why there is 100,000 saints in past/present. If you live by the premise that everything leads to God, then it makes sense to disperse the pathways as widely as possible.
Gordon Hinkley a prophet? Yes. Does he have insight into one of those paths? Yes. Does he commune directly with God? Yes. Can those who heed his prophetic ability and authority be brought to God? Yes.
This I believe.
