When the hand penned version (there are MANY MANY versions, BTW) of his first visitation not being the LDS approved version of the tale means that if Joe Smith were alive today and a member of his church, he'd be excommunicated for believing the WRONG version. Belief in the 'correct' version being a requirement to be a Mormon in good standing.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
