‍Biblical Support Checkpoint #2

Chapters 7–20 Review

At this point, we have examined doctrines involving priesthood authority, revelation, ordinances, spiritual gifts, temple themes, salvation, exaltation, and the post-mortal life.

Many of these teachings are often dismissed as uniquely “Mormon.” But the real question is:

Are they actually found in the Bible?

Checkpoint Reflection

By now, a pattern should be emerging.

Some teachings may still be debated.

Others may challenge long-held traditions.

But the central question remains unchanged:

Are these teachings truly absent from the Bible—or have they simply been overlooked, minimized, or rejected over time?

As you continue to the final Biblical Support Challenge, compare carefully:

• scripture,

• doctrine,

• and tradition.

Because according to the Bible itself, truth matters—and so does how we respond to it.
