As man cannot be smart enough to see things himself he needs someone called of God like Joseph Smith to translate the word to us lay people.
As if God is going to allow his simple plan to be lost for over one thousand years and all the people during that time to be lost because they did not follow this plan of salvation to the letter as three steppers do.
IMHO all the things UPCI has made salvational are only things God reveled to us to bring us to a closer understanding of him to give us a close walk with him. They are not salvational.
Why do we have the put pouring of the spirit in the early 1900's? Because a group of (saved) bible students fasted and prayed because they wanted more of God and wanted the power that the early church had. From this came a better understanding of Jesus name and the oneness of the Godhead.
But oneness people made it a salvational issue thus bringing a division into the kingdom of God. Which God is mending today if we will let it.
