Ok I am being a bit more creative with my titles :)
5. The true church must claim Divine Authority!
Ok so what is Divine Authority?
It is the Priesthood which that means the Powers of Heaven or the authority from God to act in His name
Hebrews 5:4-10 Melchizedek Priesthood
1 Timothy 2:7 ordained a preacher
Acts 14:2
Acts 6:5-6 the laying on of hands
Acts 19:1-6 the laying on of hands to receive the Holy Ghost
There is a talk by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland called Our Most Distinguishing Feature and that feature is the Priesthood.
Elder David A. Bednar said, "The priesthood is the authority of God delegated to men on the earth to act in all things for the salvation of mankind. Priesthood is the means whereby the Lord acts through men to save souls. One of the defining features of the Church of Jesus Christ, both anciently and today, is His authority. There can be no true Church without divine authority."
The Priesthood is on the earth today and it is used just like Christ used it! We heal the sick and afflicted, baptize in Christ's name and serve others. Worthy men hold this authority. This ISN'T being sexist in any way! I was once told maybe one reason why woman don't hold the Priesthood is because then what would the men do? We the woman are more inclined to serve and help others so the men need an extra push or drive to help and serve those around them.
