Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed.
I see no faults in the Church, and therefore let me be resurrected with the Saints, whether I ascend to heaven or descend to hell, or go to any other place. And if we go to hell, we will turn the devils out of doors and make a heaven of it.
No one can ever enter the celestial kingdom unless he is strictly honest.
