Of all the major cults extant in the melting pot of religions called American, none is more subtle or dangerous to the unwary soul than The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the official name of Mormonism.

This stalwart organization is…active in zealously promoting the “revelations” of “Prophet” Joseph Smith and the indomitable Brigham Young.

Ruled by a first president and a supreme council ironically titled “The Twelve Apostles,” the Mormon religion stretches the length and breadth of our country and reaches even to numerous foreign mission fields throughout the world.

Indeed, with its tremendous wealth, growing prestige, and zeal for missionary programs, Mormonism constitutes an immense threat to the church of Jesus Christ of our era.

From Salt Lake City, Utah, the hub of the Mormon wheel of ever-expanding influence,…energetic Mormon missionaries travel each year two-by-two, even as the apostles of old, in order to carry one of the cleverest counterfeits of the true gospel yet devised, one which stands ready to ensnare the souls of a world rich in religion and bankrupt in the faith that saves.

Today Mormonism is powerful, its missionary program immense, and its inroads upon the Christian faith tragic…concerned Christian pastors, evangelists, and laymen everywhere [must] recognize the threat of Mormonism and the need for a definite plan of action to meet the growing challenge at home and abroad.

[A religion], which found its origin not in the inspired writings of the New Testament but in the mind of one Joseph Smith, Jr., in the year 1830. [1]
