American Prophet The Story of Joseph Smith - 1999 was released on:
USA: 26 November 1999
Joseph Smith had dreams of salamanders that he claimed was an angel. He's not a prophet, and he's buried in the ground like most people :)
Joseph Smith Jr. son of Joseph Smith Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith.
The prophet Joseph in The Bible was simply named Joseph, they didn't really have last names back then. Although he might be called Joseph son of Jacob, to distinguish him from others with the same name. Within Mormonism, there is another 'Prophet Joseph', Joseph Smith, Jr.
Lucy Smith has written: 'Biographical sketches of Joseph Smith, the prophet' -- subject(s): Family
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) celebrate Joseph Smith as a prophet of God.
There is no official answer for when exactly Joseph Smith was considered a prophet. Some, citing the Jeremiah 1:5 ("...before thou camest forth from the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."), would consider Joseph Smith to have always been a prophet, and say that he was ordained to that position by God before his mortal birth. Others might consider Joseph Smith a prophet from the age of fourteen, when he received his first vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ, and learned that his mission was to restore true Christianity to the earth. Others might consider him a prophet from the time he received the plates and began translating the Book of Mormon. Others still could consider him a prophet from the day the Church was organized, April 6, 1830, or from the time that he was sustained as the president, prophet, seer, and revelator of the Church.
Upon his birth, Joseph Smith was named Joseph Smith. Throughout his life he was called Joseph Smith, Jr. because his father's name is also Joseph Smith. His son was named Joseph Smith, III. His enemies often referred to him as Joe Smith. This was intended to be very disrespectful, and it was often offensive.
Joseph B. Smith was an Executive Navy officer who died during the American Civil War. His father was a Commodore named Joseph Smith.
Muslims say that Muhammad was a prophet after Jesus. Mormons say that Joseph Smith was a prophet after Jesus, as has been each of Smith's successors. And so on, so the answer really comes down to faith.
Yes. This is not something that is commonly preached or taught during Mormon services, but it is a Mormon belief preached by Joseph Smith. The Church-published Guide to the Scriptures says "The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that Noah is the Angel Gabriel" and "The Prophet Jospeh Smith indicated that Gabriel is the Old Testament prophet Noah."
John Smith had nothing to do with Mormonism. Perhaps you are thinking of Joseph Smith, who founded Mormonism, and whom Mormons consider to be a prophet.
