Wilford Woodruff writes to "President Daniel H. Wells:... You mentioned the name of Brother Lewis Anderson, assistant Recorder. I infer that he is a young man: I have felt impressed not to grant permission for this ordinance (2nd Anointing) to be administered to any but aged and faithful men, and if you can get along without administering this ordinance to him, it would be better.

This is a false ordinance not authorized by the Lord and not supported by the KJV and the BoM all the while fostering a class of people who feel that their blood is more noble than everyone else's.

Reference: Alma 51:17-21.
ReplyDeleteDevery Anderson's book came out after the advent adam website did. This source can also be read here: http://www.lds-mormon.com/second_anointing_part4.shtml
