Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ did personally appear to the prophet Joseph Smith. This event, called the "First Vision", is what set in motion the foundation of Mormonism and in fact is a cornerstone of many of the main points of Mormon doctrine. According to Joseph's records, Jesus appeared to him several times, giving him direction as he founded the church. Others also appeared to Joseph including Adam, Seth, Abraham, Jacob, Noah, Enoch, Moses, Elias, Elijah, John the Baptist, Peter, James, and John the Beloved. He also received visitations of Book of Mormon prophets Mormon, Moroni, and Nephi.
While other Mormons testified that they also saw Jesus and these other ancient prophets while with Joseph Smith, Most subsequent Mormon leaders have not publically discussed any personal visitations of the Savior. Lorenzo Snow, fifth president of the Church, showed his granddaughter a place in the corridor of the Salt Lake Temple where he said Jesus Christ appeared to him, and some others have alluded to either seeing or hearing the Savior. Some Mormons believe that Jesus Christ personally appears to or speaks to the leaders of the church today, while others believe that church leaders are lead by Jesus through the Spirit rather than direct manifestation.
