"There is a definite relationship between knowing the 'true points of doctrine' and 'having many revelations daily'. Knowledge alone is not a barometer of righteousness, but certain knowledge, when learned and lived, points one toward that redemption which is in Christ and the abundant life that is available to the true disciple. In addition, those who know the doctrines of salvation teach the doctrines of salvation. There is strength in their testimony and power in their words. 'Those who preach by the power of the Holy Ghost,' Elder Bruce R. McConkie has written, 'use the scriptures as their basic source of knowledge and doctrine. They begin with what the Lord has before revealed to other inspired men. But it is the practice of the Lord to give added knowledge to those upon whose hearts the true meanings and intents of the scriptures have been impressed. Many great doctrinal revelations come to those who preach from the scriptures. When they are in tune with the Infinite, the Lord lets them know, first, the full and complete meaning of the scriptures they are expounding, and then he ofttimes expands their views so that new truths flood in upon them, and they learn added things that those who do not follow such a course can never know.' (Promised Messiah, pp. 515-16.)" (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, vol. 3, p. 391)

"The living God can give much operational revelation to the living Church just as he is doing in the true and living Church today. We read of how, during a strife-filled period of time around 12 B.C., leaders and some of their brethren 'who knew concerning the true points of doctrine' were 'having many revelations daily, therefore they did preach unto the people, insomuch that they did put an end to their strife in that same year.' (Helaman 11:23. Italics added.) The quantity of revelations was obviously very great, though we do not at this point know much concerning their content, and they were sufficient unto the needs of their day.
"Doctrinal revelation is more occasional, since the great foundation of the doctrine has been laid in the early days of this dispensation and before." (Things As They Really Are, p. 63)
