3 Nephi (part three) The Doctine of Christ


The prophet, Nephi, then came forward and kissed the feet of the Savior.  Jesus bade him rise and he did.  Jesus then gave him the power to baptize.  Next, Jesus gave Nephi the correct the baptismal prayers and then gave a strict charge to baptize by immersion:  that there would be no “disputations” among them from this time forward.  Jesus continued his instructions regarding his doctrine:

“And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom….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.
