“The Law Could Have No Power on Any Man for His Belief”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Although one could believe as one pleased, it appears that when one’s false teachings were translated into actions that violated the laws of society, such a person was liable to prosecution. See the episode with Korihor in Alma 30:18-21.
