 The LDS Church teaches that the often heated proceedings of such councils were evidence that the church was no longer led by revelation and divine authority.Indeed, the normative Christian view is that public revelation, or revelation having a binding on all Christians, concluded with the death of the last apostle, meaning that any doctrinal development after the apostolic era was not aided by revelation.As a result, LDS Church members refer to the "restitution of all things" mentioned in and believe that a restoration of all the original and primary doctrines and rites of Christianity was necessary.
