===View of The Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite)=== [[The Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite)]], a [[Rigdonite]] branch with 15,000 members headquartered in Pennsylvania, has had an independent history since the 1844 [[succession crisis (Latter Day Saints)|succession crisis]]. The church refers to the vision obliquely in a lengthy excerpt from Smith's 1842 account included in its official literature, in which the date "1820" and "a personage" (singular, not plural) are mentioned in paraphrases.<ref>{{citation |first1=Timothy Dom |last1=Bucci |year=1952 |title=Apostasy and Restoration |location=Monongahela, Pa |publisher=Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonites) |oclc=34452615}}. The reference quotes the 1842 account as found in the LDS Church Pearl of Great Price, with some exceptions including the following paraphrases: 1) "As the light shown down on him, a personage appeared...." (2, 6) "This was in the year 1820" (6). The summary following the excerpt (10) emphasizes the importance of the Book of Mormon, but makes no additional comment about the First Vision.</ref>
