[Leonard Arrington]
Throughout the history of the Church there has been a continuous tension between two interpretations or applications of Mormonism: (1) Mormonism as a group phenomenon-corporate Mormonism-group salvation and exaltation-community of Saints-Kingdom of God; (2) Mormonism as a personal religion intent upon saving the individual and helping him with his problems.
