I'm not going to get into the disagreements I have with what you have said.
I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true and full gospel on the earth. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet today. I know that all of the general authorities are prophets, seers, and revelators. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live. I know that the Holy Ghost testifies, comforts, and warns. I know that I can talk to my Father in Heaven through prayer. I know that he hears and answers my prayers. I know that families can be forever. I know that all scripture is given through God. I know that my hardships will be for my own good. I know that both baptism by water and by spirit are necessary to inherit the kingdom of God. I know that I will be judged according to my works (see Revelation 20:12-13).
I know that I will not be tempted above that which I am able and that my Father in Heaven will always provide a way for me to escape that temptation. I know that if I repent fully, I will be forgiven.
I know that Christ died to atone for the sins of man. I know that He will come again.
I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father, who loves me, and I love Him. I will stand as a witness of God at all times and in all things and in all places (Mosiah 18:9) as I strive to live the Young Women values, which are”
Faith
Divine Nature
Individual Worth
Knowledge
Choice and Accountability
Good Works
Integrity and
Virtue
I believe as I come to accept and act upon these values, I will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.
I say (type) this in the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wow! Thanks Barty for your comments. I would take quite a while to tackle some of those statements. Around 16 times you said "I know..."
I have a question for you. How do you know? Are you going based on a feeling or something else. How do you know Joseph Smith is a prophet of God when the Bible says he cannot? How do you know you're not being deceived?

I cannot speak for Barty, but if she is like all the other wonderful young women in the church she knows by receiving a witness form God that is very similar to the witness you received that the Bible is true. God will always provide a witness to his children when they humbly seek truth and are willing to act on the revelation they received.
She knows the same way I have come to know all of those things.
She knows the same way that Peter knew Jesus was the Son of God. "Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in Heaven." Matt 16:17. Peter didn’t gain a belief in Christ from the scriptures, but from God himself!
She knows the same way that thousands knew on the Day of Pentecost when the Spirit was poured out upon the people and they humbly asked Peter "what shall we do?" and he commanded them to, "repent and be baptized…” so they would “receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.” A gift that would continue to reveal truth to them throughout their lives. He didn’t command them to go read the scriptures; he wanted them to have a direct source to receiving truth in their lives.
She knows the same way over 13 million others around the world have come to know.
She knows because God told her so, and she is sincere in her desire to make the world a better place, to follow the values that will bring her joy in this life and eternal joy in the world to come.
Barty your testimony is true and bright and will serve to bless the lives of countless people throughout your life. Thank you for your courage. Truly you are a daughter of God!!

So, in summary, you know that the LDS church is true because God gave you a witness? Would that be correct? Let me ask you this? Where is this testimony? Where did you receive it? I assume your answer would be “in my heart”. Well, did you know that the Bible tells us not to trust our hearts?

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked;

My next question would be – Who bears witness of the truth? The Holy Ghost? No. The Holy Spirit bears witness of Jesus and Jesus sends the Holy Spirit.

John 15:26 - But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

So, since the Holy Spirit is sent from Jesus…Can a false Jesus send the true Holy Spirit? Of course the answer is no. My point is that only the true Jesus of the Bible can send the Holy Spirit. If you don’t have the true Jesus then you cannot have the true Holy Spirit, and your testimony is invalid.

The true Jesus of the Bible is worshipped, prayed to, and called God. He is not a created being. He is not the spirit brother of the devil. He has never been created, He is eternal. He is co-equal in nature, co-eternal in time with the Father. If you do not have the correct Jesus you will perish of the Day of Judgment. Are you willing to risk your eternal salvation on a feeling? Are you willing to risk your eternal destiny on what you can do or what Christ has done? Be sure that you know because once you cross over there is no going back.

Where did the people listening to Peter receive their witness? Where did you receive your witness? You read in the bible of thousands of people that were converted to the True Gospel of Jesus Christ with an experience that did not involve the bible.
In fact it says in Acts 2:37 "they were pricked in their heart."
In Romans 10:10 it says "with the heart man believeth unto righteousness"
In Luke 24:31-32 The resurrected Christ appears to two men and walks with them along a road. He eventually ends up breaking bread with them and they describe their experience like this, "their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?"
They realized their hearts burned "while he talked with [them] by the way" and "while he opened to [them] the scriptures."
Was the resurrected Lord deceiving their wicked hearts, or did the Holy Spirit witness to them through their HEART that he was the Savior
Are you willing to risk your eternal destiny on a scripture that you could be interrupting the wrong way?

How can I interpret this to mean anything but that there is one God? Not one for us but ONE GOD.

Isaiah 44:8 – You are my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.

Notice that God says he doesn’t even know of any other God. He is the only true God! Is that what Mormonism teaches? In Mormonism the Father is a god, Jesus is a god, the Holy Spirit is a god, God the Father had a god when he was a man, there is also a goddess mother. That is 5 gods, right? This doctrine clearly violates Scripture.

Joseph Smith said - "Hence, the doctrine of a plurality of Gods is as prominent in the Bible as any other doctrine. It is all over the face of the Bible . . . Paul says there are Gods many and Lords many . . . but to us there is but one God--that is pertaining to us; and he is in all and through all" (History of the Church, Vol. 6, page 474). "In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 5).

But the Bible says:

Isaiah 46:9 – Remember the former things of old. For I am God, and there is no other; I am God and there is none like Me.

You claim to serve and worship only one god, but Mormonism teaches the plurality of gods. This is a form of polytheism and is heresy. You MUST have the correct Jesus do be saved!

John 8:24 – Unless you believe I am, you will die in your sins.
