“Whoso Belongeth Not to the Church of the Lamb of God”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Jesus Christ is the name which is given of the Father, and there is none other name given whereby man can be saved; wherefore, all men must take upon them the name which is given of the Father, for in that name shall they be called at the last day; wherefore, if they know not the name by which they are called, they cannot have place in the kingdom of my Father (D&C 18:23-25).

Thus, with Alma the ask: “if ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd, of what fold are ye?” He answered: “Behold, I say unto you, that the devil is your shepherd, and ye are of his fold” (Alma 5:39). Christ made no pretense to being ecumenical; he and his seek alliance with none but the God of heaven and his truths.
