"The seventh Article of Faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reads : 'We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.' All such heavenly endowments come as gifts of the Spirit-- that is, through the grace of God and the operation and power of the Holy Ghost. As prerequisites to obtaining such gifts, a person must receive the ordinances of baptism and the bestowal of the gift of the Holy Ghost from an authorized priesthood holder, must earnestly seek to obtain the gift or gifts, and must make sincere efforts to keep the Lord's commandments."
