Intent of our hearts vs. saving ordinances
If God knows the intent of our hearts, why would He require saving ordinances (baptism, confirmation, temple endowment, etc.) for anything? If mortals like them for their symbolism/added commitment, that's fine, but as a requirement from on high they make no sense to me.
No need to answer with "because the prophets have told us", we already know that, just asking for your thoughts.
