Though the Lds Church does not have a paid ministry, men who are called to positions of responsibility in the Church are given authority to preside. That authority is the priesthood. It is received by ordination, through the laying on of hands of those with authority. (Pearl of Great Price, A of F 1:5.) The priesthood is the power of God, delegated to men on earth, to act in all things for the salvation of men and women. It is divine authority, the authority Joseph Smith stated that he received in 1829 from John the Baptist and Peter, James, and John. Millet Mormon faith.Share
