Pregunta: ¿José Smith se convirtió en miembro bautizado de la Iglesia Bautista en 1822?
Fayette Lapham claimed to have learned this from Joseph Smith, Sr. 50 years after the First Vision had occurred
Fayette Lapham claimed to have interviewed Joseph Smith Sr. in 1829-30, and published a report forty years later. In it, he reported:
About this time [1822, perhaps as late as 1824] he [Joseph, Jr.] became concerned as to his future state of existence, and was baptized, becoming thus a member of the Baptist Church.[1]
There are no records to support the claim that Joseph joined the Baptist Church
The Lapham source is secondhand at best—putting forward information that reportedly came from the Prophet's father. There are no records beyond this late, second-hand recollection to support this claim.
