" AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL TRUE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO HAVE THE HOLY

GHOST AND ARE HUNGERING AND SEEKING AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS

Dear Reader:
This letter may apply or appeal to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints more than to other members of the Christian Community, but will serve as an official
notice of a course of action which will pertain to all who believe in Christ and are concerned
about there Eternal Salvation and Exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom of our Heavenly
Father!
It is a common experience among those who seek to be spiritually fed to not be able to find
that which satisfies the yearning of the soul for the personal contact they feel they need with
God! Truly it has been said in the Book of Isaiah, in the Holy Bible, that in the last days there
would be vomit on every table!
The vomit above referred to, among other things, is that which is being offered as spiritual
food to Church members which is not approved of by God, but which the ministers and
Priesthood tell the members is approved of God!
The Gospel of Jesus Christ was restored to the Earth in its fullness by the Prophet Joseph
Smith, Jr., and the Latter Day Church was organized on April 6, 1830. Radical and far
reaching changes have been made in both Church and the Priesthood, which are completely
out of order, as reference to what the Prophet Joseph Smith gave as the word of God, never
to be changed. Such changes are rank apostasy, if we are to believe the teachings of former
prophets of God.
Has there ever been any prophecy by the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr., which would indicate or
prophecy that such falling away would occur in the present day Church? Yes, more than one,
including the 101st section of the Doctrine and Covenants.
If you dear reader, have been wondering where the gifts of the Spirit and other blessings of
the Church, promised in the Scriptures to the faithful, have gone to, let it be known that they
have disappeared due to failure on the part of leaders and Church members alike to keep
alive the true principles, ordinances, and covenants of Christs true Church.
Christ has promised that the True Church of Christ would never fall again since it was
restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. If this is the case, then why is it falling into a state
of Apostasy as it did in the time of the Jews at Jerusalem and again after Christ established
His Church on the Earth in His time???
It is falling into apostasy because they have done what Isaiah said they would do; that is to
change the ordinances and break the everlasting covenants of the Lord!!!
What is God going to do about it? What has He done about it? What did He do in former
times when Apostasy set in?
At the time of Christ, God had Jesus Christ establish the Church of Jesus Christ on the True
foundation and rejected the ruling authorities of the Jews. Of course, the Jewish Church
excommunicated Jesus Christ and the twelve Apostles; but God did not; and the Church
gathered thousands into it from the Jewish Church and from the Gentiles. Within seven years
(approximately) the Apostles were all killed except John the Revelator, and the Church
started to go into darkness again. It remained an Apostate Church, consisting of the Catholic
Church and its break offs, until April 6, 1830.
Joseph Smith, Jr. was called of God to establish the True Church of Christ again (in 1830)
along side of the Apostate Churches of his time. Thus, it seems to be Gods way of setting
the Church of Christ in Order-to establish a Branch of His Church along side of the old
Apostate Church and, by so doing, provide a place for those of His people who are
hungering and thirsting after righteousness to worship Him in peace and in truth according to
Gods Holy will!!!
In answer as to WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO ABOUT THE APOSTASY OF THE CHURCH
IN OUR TIME, the following:
1- He is going to inform His people of the present Apostasy.
2- He is going to provide a Branch Church as Joseph Smith, Jr., originally set it up to function
to carry on the work of gathering the Saints of God, who will sanctify themselves and perform
the work God expects His Saints to do, in the final work of ushering in the Millennium.
3- He is not going to put New Wine in Old Bottles! He is not going to try to use the present
officers of the Church (Presidency, Apostles, etc.) inasmuch as it has never worked in the
past, nor will it work in the present. God will have those who will put the work of God to the
fore and sacrifice their all to the building up of the Kingdom of God on the Earth and the
Establishing of Zion!!!
4- This may shock some Mormons who have learned to worship their leaders regardless of
the changes they have made in Christs Church; but if they will truly humble themselves, as
the people in Christs time did, and get the Holy Ghost, they will truly know what they are
suppose to do.
5- It has been prophesied that the Church would split down the middle. Now is the time! God
has prophesied that out of the body of the Church he would call out a true group of people
who would put true principles to the fore; and upon these He would confer His greatest
blessings.
6- It has been stated in the Doctrine and Covenants that unless a person had the Holy Ghost
in our day; he or she would not be able to stand! NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE A STAND
FOR CHRIST! If you have the courage, the Faith in God to do it, and only if you have the
witness of the Holy Ghost that you are to do it, then you are called to come and assist in this,
our Heavenly Fathers last great work in preparing for Christs second coming in the clouds
of Heaven!
What has God already done to bring to pass those things spoken of above??? He has
established Christs Church, which is in the stages of spreading the good news about the
work of the Lord, which is in the process of organization as originally given.
He has given the full organizational details and function of the Church as it is supposed to be
organized and operated, with all its true ordinances, rites, covenants, gathering, etc.
He has revealed the full details of the economic organization which will be the temporal
salvation of both Gentile and Christian during these times of economic chaos which surround
us!!!
He has revealed the constitution for the Kingdom of God, soon to be established on the
Earth, to be operated under the direction and leadership of the resurrected Christ when He
comes in the clouds of Heaven.
He is also calling you to join an army of Saints to help in this great work before the time is
past.
This is a brief review of what is happening to fulfill the prophecies relative to the setting in
order of the Church and Kingdom of God in these last days, the Branch Church, which is
officially known as the CHURCH OF CHRIST, in the days of Joseph Smith, Jr., but now
known as CHRISTS CHURCH, because of the laws of the land in our time. The Book of
Mormon said it should be called after His name, and so it is!!!
Christs Church believes in all that Joseph Smith, Jr., the prophet, taught-including the Bible,
Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Also, in modern or
present day prophecy and revelation, gifts of the Spirit, which agrees with the Gospel in all
former times on the Earth, and DOES NOT CHANGE from President to President of the
Church.
May the Grace of God and His Holy Son, attend you forever
PEACE BE WITH YOU
Gerald W. Peterson Sr."
