Nephi...

Come forth.

I give unto you power that ye shall baptize this people when I am again ascended into heaven.

Timothy and Jonas. Come forth.

Likewise Mathoni and Mathonihah...

Kumen, and Kumenonhi,

and Jeremiah...

and Shemnon,

Jonas,

Zedekiah,

and Isaiah.

I give unto you power to baptize this people.

On this wise shall ye baptize; and there shall be no disputations among you.

Whoso repenteth of his sins through your words, and desireth to be baptized in my name, on this wise shall ye baptize them --

Behold, ye shall go down and stand in the water,

and in my name shall ye baptize them.

And now behold, these are the words which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying: Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

And then shall ye immerse them in the water, and come forth again out of the water.

And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name;

And according as I have commanded you...

there shall be no... disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine, as there have hitherto been.

He that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil.

But this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.

And this is my doctrine,

and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me;

and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me,

and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me;

and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere,

to repent and believe in me.

And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved;

and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And unto him will the Father bear record of me, for he will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost.

And thus will the Father bear record of me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and me; for the Father, and I, and the Holy Ghost are one.

And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child,

and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things.

This is my doctrine,

and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock,

and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.

Therefore, go forth, and declare the words which I have spoken, unto the ends of the earth.

Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve

whom I have chosen from among you to minister unto you,

and to be your servants;

And unto them I have given power that they may baptize you with water.

I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Therefore blessed are ye if ye shall believe in me and be baptized, after that ye have seen me and know that I am.

And again, more blessed are they who shall believe in your words

because that ye shall testify that ye have seen me, and that ye know that I am.

Yea, blessed are they who shall believe in your words, and come down into the depths of humility...and be baptized,

for they shall be visited with fire and with the Holy Ghost

and shall receive a remission of their sins.
