|title=FAIR Questions 1: Truth in other religions
|author=SteveDensleyJr
|date=10 August 2011
|link=http://blog.fairmormon.org/2011/08/10/fair-questions-1-truth-in-other-religions/
|summary=We accept truth where ever it is found. Others having truth is not a problem as we make no claim to be the sole repository or source of truth. What we do claim is that only in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can you find priesthood keys through which you can properly covenant with Heavenly Father so as to affect your return to His presence as a joint heir with Christ. We also claim to have that portion of light and knowledge necessary to affect the same, but this is NOT an exclusionary claim. So, do not be surprised to feel spiritual confirmations of truth from sources outside the Church, such as the Bhagavad Gita, as such confirmations in no way diminish the power of the priesthood keys you can only find here. There is nothing that says that God cannot speak to and influence peoples of all cultures.
|title2=FAIR Questions 2: Recognizing the Voice of the Spirit
|author2=SteveDensleyJr
|date2=28 August 2011
|link2=http://blog.fairmormon.org/2011/08/28/fair-questions-2-recognizing-the-voice-of-the-spirit/
|summary2=In order to put the various voices we hear to the test, it is first important to learn how the Spirit communicates with us. The Spirit can manifest itself in a number of ways. In the account of the two disciples who met the resurrected Savior on the way to Emmaus, one of the believers said, “Did not our heart burn within us?” (Luke 24:32.) We are all familiar with the counsel given to Oliver Cowdery as he attempted to translate the Book of Mormon. He was told that, after he studied it out in his mind, and prayed about it, he would experience a “burning in the bosom” if he was right, but a stupor of thought if not. (D&C 9:7–9.)
