==Stephen H. Webb: Joseph Smith lehnt ''nicht'' die Effizienz oder die Notwendigkeit der Gnade ab==

Born in 1961 he grew up at Englewood Christian Church, an evangelical church.  He joined the Disciples of Christ during  He was briefly a Lutheran, and on Easter Sunday, 2007, he officially came into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church."</ref>
<blockquote>
Two corrections of common misrepresentations of Smith’s theology need to be made at this point. First, Mormons are often charged with denying the efficacy of grace and thus making salvation dependent upon the exercise of the individual’s free will. All theologians use the language of effort, reform, and growth, so this is not a fair charge.... In any case, Smith describes the process of sanctification as being “from grace to grace.” Rather than replicating Pelagianism, Smith is siding with that aspect of the Christian tradition best represented by Thomas Aquinas, which says we can and must cooperate with divine grace in order to permit it to actualize our potential for divinization. <ref name="webbBook">{{BYUS|author=Stephen H.
