Question: Do Mormons believe that other religions can be inspired by God?
Latter-day Saints believe that the good in every religion is inspired of God
Latter-day Saints believe that other religions have portions of the truth. We believe that religion is instituted of God (D&C 134:4). We acknowledge that the good in every religion is inspired of God. Moroni 7꞉13 states:
But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.
Latter-day Saints do not claim that a spiritual manifestation to another Mormon is evidence for the truthfulness of the church, nor do we deny the experiences of others. The LDS message is that each person must receive the witness for himself and that only that person can judge the truth of what he has experienced.
