Harold B. Lee
"There are many who profess to be religious and speak of themselves as Christians, and, according to one such, ‘as accepting the scriptures only as sources of inspiration and moral truth’, and then ask in their smugness: ’Do the revelations of God give us a handrail to the kingdom of God, as the Lord’s messenger told Lehi, or merely a compass?’
"Unfortunately, some are among us who claim to be Church members but are somewhat like the scoffers in Lehi’s vision—standing aloof and seemingly inclined to hold in derision the faithful who choose to accept Church authorities as God’s special witnesses of the gospel and His agents in directing the affairs of the Church.
"There are those in the Church who speak of themselves as liberals who, as one of our former presidents has said, ’read by the lamp of their own conceit.’ (Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine, p. 373.) One time I asked one of our Church educational leaders how he would define a liberal in the Church. He answered in one sentence: ’A liberal in the Church is merely one who does not have a testimony.’ (Stand Ye In Holy Places, p. 352-3)
