“Show Forth Signs Also and Did Do Some Miracles Among the People”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

There is no spiritual aristocracy. Those newly born to the faith are as entitled to the attentions and blessings of a loving Father as their older brothers and sisters.

True it is that those more mature in spiritual things may be entrusted with greater authority and power, but this is not to say, as was the case in this instance, that the newly converted are without the power to dream dreams, see visions, prophesy, work miracles, and generally enjoy those signs that naturally follow faith and obedience.
