TWENTY PRIESTHOOD LAWS AND EVIDENCES, Ch8 P2 of The Church and the Priesthood

Gifts and Powers of Priesthood

When the Gospel of Jesus Christ was restored in this dispensation, it brought back all the gifts, powers and blessings that had been enjoyed by the former-day Saints at the time of Christ. In the seventh Article of Faith, Joseph Smith claimed, “We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.” He also stated:

It is not to be wondered at that men should be ignorant, in a great measure, of the principles of salvation, and more especially of the nature, office, power, influence, gifts, and blessings of the gift of the Holy Ghost. (TPJS, p. 242)
