In LDS doctrine and common belief do different people have better "access" than others to Heavenly Father? Some people think that a more spiritual or exalted person's prayer may somehow better get the divine attention than others.
Would the President's prayer be more readily answered than an apostle's?
An apostle's more than a stake president's?
The husband's more than his wife's? (And so on...)
Some things we know: only priesthood holders can administer blessings. (Right?) And they are members of the One True Church, right?
What about non-Mormons? I'm especially interested in what you believed when you subscribed to LDS teachings. What would a TBM think if a Baptist or Catholic said to her, "I'll pray for you."
Please, let's not get into rants about whether prayer works. Everybody's minds are made up on that. I'm interested in what might be identified as genuine doctrine, slippery as that is, and what active Mormons might believe, or have believed.
