Tonight, during our Family Scripture study, we read stories that reminded us that personal revelation is just that: Personal. We can get answers from the Holy Ghost, independent from the church, but those answers can only apply to us and those within our stewardship, not for others. Outside of church leadership and other authoritative roles, we can each only get revelation for ourselves. A lack of understanding of this principle lead to some confusion in the early church, but it doesn't need to confuse us anymore. We know how the church is organised. We know who can receive revelation for whom. And that includes most of us receiving revelation for ourselves, and only for ourselves.
