“Instead of receiving the gospel to become the sons of God, my language would be—to receive the gospel that we may continue to be the sons of God. Are we not all sons of God when we are born into this world? Old Pharaoh, King of Egypt, was just as much a son of God as Moses and Aaron were His sons, with this difference—he rejected the word of the Lord, the true light, and they received it.”Brigham Young, November 17, 1867 · The Witness of the Spirit—How to Continue to Be Sons of God—Necessity of Prayer · JD 12:99-103
