Stace Webb joined the RLDS church as a child with no understanding of the fundamental teachings. As an adult he was called to the priesthood and served as a priest. While preaching a sermon one Sunday he felt he was just going through motions and asked himself the question, “Is this true Christianity?” This questioning led him to seek the answer and he subsequently left the church and accepted Christ as his Savior. This is his testimony.
I was raised in the RLDS Church due to the fact that my mother married my stepfather, Marion Smith who was RLDS and a graduate of Graceland College. Consequently, my mother, grandmother, two younger sisters and I joined the church. Since I was very young at the time I didn’t question the RLDS teachings. In 1971, I enlisted in the Navy, but before I left home I was called and ordained to the office of Priest in the Aaronic priesthood. After my Navy discharge I became active in the church and preached in a local RLDS church. When I moved from Wenatchee, Washington to Spokane, Washington, I was preaching in a local congregation and while giving the sermon I felt like I was an actor on a stage just going through the motions and asked myself the question, “is this true Christianity?”
A woman that I had been dating, urged me to talk to an uncle of hers who was really grounded in the Word of God. He was a strong Christian and a great counselor. He counseled with me and prayed for me and as a result I was led to the Lord. The day I accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior everything was brand new. PTL! Since that time in March, 1978, I have attended several church denominations – mostly Nazarene and Baptist.
Unfortunately, my family and many friends remain “unsaved.” As a Christian I feel it is my job is to tell them the Good News of the Christian gospel so that they can become united in Christ.16
