Our Heavenly Father visited the School of the Prophets, amazing confirmation of the First Vision

[kirtland r.m.]

As confirmation of the First Vision, at the School of the Prophets, over twenty brethren saw not only the Savior, but were visited by God The Father. This was the quote given to them by the Prophet Joseph Smith after this experience. “Brethren, now you are prepared to be the apostles of Jesus Christ, for you have seen both the Father and the Son and know that they exist and that they are two separate personages.”…
Here is a description of that event, Coltrin's story was also backed up years after this event by another who was there, John Murdock.https://www.lds.org/study/ensign/1993/0 ... n?lang=eng

Zebedee Coltrin, a member of the School of the Prophets records:
Zebedee Coltrin 1804-1877
At one of these meetings after the organization of the school, (the school being organized on the 23rd of January, 1833) when we were all together, Joseph having given instructions, and while engaged in silent prayer, kneeling, with our hands uplifted each one praying in silence, no one whispered above his breath, a personage walked through the room from east to west, and Joseph asked if we saw him. I saw him and suppose the others did and Joseph answered “that is Jesus, the Son of God, our elder brother.” Afterward Joseph told us to resume our former position in prayer, which we did. Another person came through; he was surrounded as with a flame of fire. experienced a sensation that it might destroy the tabernacle as it was of consuming fire of great brightness. The Prophet Joseph said this was the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I saw Him.
[When asked about the kind of clothing the Father had on, Brother Coltrin said:] I did not discover his clothing for he was surrounded as with a flame of fire, which was so brilliant that I could not discover anything else but his person. I saw his hands, his legs, his feet, his eyes, nose, mouth, head and body in the shape and form of a perfect man. He sat in a chair as a man would sit in a chair, but this appearance was so grand and overwhelming that it seemed I should melt down in his presence, and the sensation was so powerful that it thrilled through my whole system and I felt it in the marrow of my bones. The Prophet Joseph said: “Brethren, now you are prepared to be the apostles of Jesus Christ, for you have seen both the Father and the Son and know that they exist and that they are two separate personages.”…

Also, I would highly, highly recommend listening to this, it's pure gold. In this classic talk, Floyd Weston recounts the extraordinary experience of five college friends. Using only the New Testament as their guide, Floyd and four of his friends from college identified the key doctrines and organization of the Church established by Christ. Separated by the events of World War II and the pursuits of careers and families, the friends re-unite and discover that in their individual quests to find the true church, as described in the New Testament, each had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTk-LebVUO8

Haha. I get what you're saying there. I've always thought the opposite though. I've wondered if at the time of resurrection, those not endowed with priesthood clothing and all that, will actually be the ones to find themselves naked, and then feel the shame of Adam and Eve at the time they fell. But in reverse order as they are restored to immortality.
