What makes this church different?

[Sec 26:3a] And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry;
[Sec 26:3b] and of the same things which I revealed unto them; unto whom I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times;
[Sec 26:3c] and for the fullness of times, in the which
I will gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven and which are on earth; and also with all those whom my Father hath given me out of the world;

[Sec 105:12a] For unto you (the Twelve), and those (the First Presidency), who are appointed with you, to be your counselors and your leaders, is the power of this priesthood given, for the last days and for the last time, in the which is the dispensation of the fullness of times,
[Sec 105:12b] which power you hold in connection with all those who have received a dispensation at any time from the beginning of the creation;
[Sec 105:12c] for verily I say unto you, The keys of the dispensation which ye have received, have come down from the fathers; and last of all, being sent down from heaven unto you.
