3 For it shall come to pass in that day that the churches which are built up, and not unto the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other: BEHOLD, I, I AM THE LORD’S; and the others shall say: I, I AM THE LORD’S; and THUS SHALL EVERY ONE SAY THAT HATH BUILT UP CHURCHES, AND NOT UNTO THE LORD—(2 Nephi 28)
“To say that Satan sits in the place of God in Christianity after the time of the Apostles is not to say that all that is in it is satanic…Still, ‘the power of God unto salvation’ (Rom. 1:16) IS ABSENT FROM ALL BUT THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS, which the Lord himself has proclaimed to be ‘the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth’ (D&C 1:30).” (Kent P. Jackson, “Early Signs of the Apostasy,” Ensign, December 1984, p. 9)
