We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
I think this one is very straightforward, but essential in what set my religion apart from other religions. The ordinances discussed in the last post including baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost are not valid unless they are given by somebody who has the authority to give it. The only way to have to authority is to be given the authority from God. I know that the priesthood holders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints have the authority.
