===Church of Christ (Temple Lot)=== The [[Church of Christ (Temple Lot)]], a branch with 7,000 adherents, rejects many of Smith's post-1832 revelations.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.churchofchrist-tl.org/history.html |title=History of the Church of Christ |work=churchofchrist-tl.org |publisher=[[Church of Christ (Temple Lot)]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080421070901/http://www.churchofchrist-tl.org/history.html |archive-date=2008-04-21}}</ref> Nevertheless, the church uses several elements of the 1842 account of the First Vision, including Smith's desire to know which church he should join, his reading of James 1:5, his prayer in the grove, the appearance of God the Father and Jesus Christ, the statement by Jesus that all existing churches were corrupt, and the instruction that Smith should join none of them.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.churchofchrist-tl.org/mormon.html#how |title=Book of Mormon: How did we get it |publisher=Church of Christ (Temple Lot) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080420182348/http://www.churchofchrist-tl.org/mormon.html#how |archive-date=2008-04-20 }}</ref>
