The Priesthood in Mormonsim

Mormonism has the authority of the power of God known as the Priesthood. There's two types with the Aaronic and Melchizedek. If you're a worthy Mormon you get the opportunity of wielding the Priesthood. In Mormonism it starts at the age of 12 with the Aaronic Priesthood. Mormonism refers to these 12 and 13 year old males as Deacons. At this age you serve the Sacrament to people during what is called Sacrament meeting. Once you turn 14 you become the Mormonism format of Teacher. This you gain the responsibility of doing what is called home teaching. In this process you get paired up with another male with a format of the Priesthood to visit families and keep up to date with them and deliver a select message. At the age of 16+ you become Mormonism's Priest. Still of the Aaronic Priesthood. At that you bless the Sacrament bread and water. You also get the ability to only baptize people. I mention "only" due to also having the gift of the Holy Ghost to give, but you're unable to give that unless you hold the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood. One of my friends had the chance to do that to one of his nephews. when he told me that I was surprised since I didn't know that then. I was happy for him as well. You have to be at least age 18 to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood authority. I hold this authority. Once you receive it you are now an Elder. That is when you are able to give the gift of the Holy Ghost. That's not the only thing you're able to do now. You're also able to give blessings in the form of helping people to recover sort of like Jesus. It's not as grand as he did, but helping like the ill to become better, but not instantaneously. It's more of when they're quite ill, or another format of infliction. Another format of blessing you are able to give is to give/ participate in a baby blessing. I got to participate in my nephew's baby blessing due to holding the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood. Mormonism then has a higher level of being a High Priest. This is required to be a Bishop, Stake President, Patriarch, part of the Quorum of the Seventy, Quorum of the Twelve, or one of the men from the First Presidency. Mormonism has what is called wards and the Bishop is the leader of that group. It is temporary. The Stake President is a leader as well, but this time what Mormonism calls a stake, or a perimeter of wards. A Patriarch in Mormonism is one that gives a select format of blessings that only those can give. Those blessings can only be given once to each person. Both of those are also a position in which you can be released. Then final one that you can be released from is being part of the Quorum of the Seventy. This is a higher position to be in. Then starting with the ones that the only way you are released is by death. The first is being part of the Quorum of the Twelve. These are ones that are to be the Prophet of Mormonism. The current are David A. Bednar, M. Russel Ballard, Boydd K. Packer, Russel M. Neilson, D. Todd Christopherson, David A. Cook, L. Tom Perry, Dallin H. Oaks, Richard G. Scott, Robert D. Hales. Jeffery R. Holland, and Neil L. Anderson. The First Presidency contains Thomas S. Monson as the Prophet and the President of Mormonism. Our first counselor is Henry B. Eyring and second counselor is Dieter F. Uchtdorf.
