Robert Millet spoke to a group of prospective Mormon missionaries and stated:
"As Latter-day saints, you already know more about God and Christ and the plan of salvation than anyone who will attack you. Take my word for that; you already know more than your attackers will ever know."
"Avoid the spirit of contention."
"We do not argue. We do not debate. We testify."
"...if everything we teach and believe is in the Bible, we wouldn't have needed a Joseph Smith, a Book of Mormon, a Doctrines & Covenants or a restoration!"
Millet said that the single most important issue is was Joseph Smith called of God, and that most doctrines that are distinctive to the Latter-day Saints are not from the Bible, but by revelation, through modern apostles and prophets.
Millet encouraged the BYU students that while on their mission, answer the questions not directly, but in a manner the questions should have been asked in the first place.
