The name of the Church tells us who's church it is. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a different group than the Church of Jesus Christ of Former-day Saints.

Baptism and confirmation are the joining ordinances of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In a similar way, being sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise, (which means our calling and election has been made sure), is the joining ordinance of the Church of the Firstborn. When this sealing occurs, we become joint heirs with Christ as Firstborn Son's and Daughters of God and therefore members of the Church of the Firstborn.

Quote:

They are they who...are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true.
They are they who are the church of the Firstborn.
These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn. - D&C 76:51-54 & 67


In this way, receiving your calling and election made sure is the joining ordinance of the Spiritual Church of the Firstborn.

There are those who have already received their calling and election made sure, thereby joining the Spiritual Church of the Firstborn. There are those among the Church of the Firstborn who have been called & ordained to help others do the same. While translating the Revelations of John, Joseph Smith asked and received the following:
Quote:
Q. What are we to understand by sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel--twelve thousand out of every tribe?
A. We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests, ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel; for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn. - D&C 77:11


Notice that these are they who are "ordained by the angels" who have power over the nations of the earth. They are NOT ordained by men. There mission is "to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn."

If you have received your calling and election sure and have a desire or an ordination to bring others to the church of the Firstborn, then let's work together. Share your experiences with others who are seeking the same. Encourage, teach, uplift and enlighten.

Open your mouth and speak. This website has been created to connect you with seekers who hunger and thirst for what you have to share. We understand that you can't give anyone a personal testimony of the Book of Mormon or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the same way you can't make the Holy Spirit of Promise seal anyone to their exaltation. However, you can share your testimony in hopes that they will gain the same.

If there is anything we can add to this site that would help you or others to make their calling and election sure, please let us know.
