A number of the original LDS Apostles and leaders were previously Cambellite Ministers
Obviously they brought some of their "Restorationist" Theology with them!
There is no such thing as a "Cambellite [sic] Minister." Only works salvationist Baptist's ever use this wording. That much of the thinking of Mormonism came from Restorationist thought cannot be denied. Oliver Cowdry had exposure with the Stone/Campbell Movement. In addition, Smith keyed on biblical issues of some mystery, such as baptism for the dead and the Psalmist's statement that we were all gods. Smith knew absolutely nothing of the biblical doctrine of grace and because of that failure, developed what I see as a transparently fraudulent religion. But that action was completed nearly 200 years ago. Those who have their faith _expression_ in this religion, today, are dealt with (by a God of grace) in much the same manner as the pagan Gentile of Romans, chapter 2, or the hundreds of civilizations that co-existed during Old Testament times. I have seen some changes in the Mormon Faith - perhaps indicating that the move of God effects even that fellowship.
