Hinckley says he's not worried that Joseph Smith's multiple versions of his First Vision. He dismisses these different versions of the vision without ever mentioning any differences in the accounts. His goal is calming members who have heard of these strange accounts, and hope they will not look at them.

"We have nothing to hide. Our history is an open book. They may find what they are looking for, but the fact is the history of the church is clear and open and leads to faith and strength and virtues." Gordon B. Hinckley, LDS Church President.

Other First Visions, Which are Not of This Fold

Similar experiences to the first vision that were actually published at the time - Joseph didn't even write his experience in his journal until 10 years after his alleged vision in 1820 and didn't record the official account until 18 years after.

Norris Stearns (1815), Elias Smith (1816), Charles Finney (1821), Asa Wild (1823)...
