In my faith the Lord has a plan to cleanse His restored Gentile church. It will be done with His power. Our part is to live close to God and not sustain leaders, even the highest church leaders, when evidences and the Spirit guide us. And thus live by this principle:
"Therefore, let **EVERY MAN** stand or fall, by himself, and not for another; or not trusting another.... And if thine EYE which seeth for thee, him that is appointed to watch over thee to show thee light [a Prophet], become a transgressor and offend thee, pluck him out." --see JST Mark 9:40-48
This is similar to what Joseph warned about:
"Prest. J. Smith rose, read the 14th chap. of ezekiel— said the lord had declar’d by the prophet that the people should each one stand for himself and depend on no man or men in that state of corruption of the jewish church— that righteous persons could only deliver their own souls— Applied it to the present state of the church of latter-day saints— said if the people departed from the lord, they must fall—
they were DEPENDING ON THE PROPHET hence were darkened in their minds from neglect of themselves— …" 26 may 1842
The Lord will set his House in order in a coming Year of cleansing:
