The core of Mormon belief was a conviction about actual events. The test of faith was not adherence to a certain confession of faith but belief that Christ was resurrected, that Joseph Smith saw God, and the Book of Mormon was true history, and that Peter, James, and John restored the apostleship. Mormonism was history, not philosophy.
