Frederick Volcansek: May, 2014
Frederick said
"I explained carefully that
our definition of faith today more closely resembles belief, and that
when one
has faith, one should expect to see the fruits of it in the form of
conversing
with angels and seeing various miracles, as well as receiving
revelations and
dreams, etc... " The first councilor rejected this doctrine, though
new members seemed to understand it better than him. The councilor said
"I
taught nothing wrong, that I stuck to the scriptures, and that I didn't
even
offer personal interpretation. He also complemented me for being a great
teacher. But, he said the material was too much. He said we only teach
what the
brethren teach and nothing more... the material is too much for church."
He taught a missionary about the Second Comforter as taught by Joseph
who
became the highest baptizing missionary because he would teach converts
that
they too could "know the savior in this life." Mission president
outlawed all teachings about the second comforter sending an email out
to the
mission.
He was bishop and was surprised released, the
members were shocked and felt it should not have happened. The Stake Presidency
kept trying to meet with him to find a reason to excommunicate him for teaching
from the scriptures. He said instead of meeting the last few times he was led
to resign.
