LDS teaches that the "rock" is revelation -- no matter who it is receiving it. Of course in context of the scripture, it is speaking of the leaders of the Church. And we feel a leader cannot lead the Church if they don't have that 'rock'.


HiJolly
Joseph smith is not "the rock?" I thought he said of himself that he was a "rolling stone."

Really though, I was only making a comparison between Joseph and Peter, not declaring any sort of doctrine that "the rock" was Joseph Smith and not revelation.
