Mosiah 25:14 14 And now it came to pass that when
Mosiah had made an end of
speaking and reading to the people, he desired that
Alma should
also speak to the people.
Mosiah 25:15 15 And Alma did speak unto them, when
they were assembled
together in large bodies, and he went from one body
to another,
preaching unto the people repentance and faith on
the Lord.
Mosiah 25:16 16 And he did exhort the people of
Limhi and his brethren, all
those that had been delivered out of bondage, that
they should
remember that it was the Lord that did deliver them.
Mosiah 25:17 17 And it came to pass that after Alma
had taught the people
many things, and had made an end of speaking to them,
that king
Limhi was desirous that he might be baptized; and
all his people
were desirous that they might be baptized also.
Mosiah 25:18 18 Therefore, Alma did go forth into the water and did baptize them; yea, he did baptize them after the manner he did his brethren in the waters of Mormon; yea, and as many as he did baptize did belong to the church of God; and this because of their belief on the words of Alma.
Mosiah 25:19 19 And it came to pass that king Mosiah
granted unto Alma that
he might establish churches throughout all the land
of Zarahemla;
and gave him power to ordain priests and teachers
over every
church.
Mosiah 25:20 20 Now this was done because there
were so many people that they
could not all be governed by one teacher; neither
could they all
hear the word of God in one assembly;
Mosiah 25:21 21 Therefore they did assemble themselves
together in different
bodies, being called churches; every church having
their priests
and their teachers, and every priest preaching the
word according
as it was delivered to him by the mouth of Alma.
Mosiah 25:22 22 And thus, notwithstanding there
being many churches they were
all one church, yea, even the church of God; for there
was
nothing preached in all the churches except it were
repentance
and faith in God.
Mosiah 25:23 23 And now there were seven churches
in the land of Zarahemla.
And it came to pass that whosoever were desirous
to take upon
them the name of Christ, or of God, they did join
the churches of
God;
Mosiah 25:24 24 And they were called the people
of God. And the Lord did
pour out his Spirit upon them, and they were blessed,
and
prospered in the land.
Mosiah 26
Chapter 26
Mosiah 26:1 1 Now it came to pass that there were
many of the rising
generation that could not understand the words of
king Benjamin,
being little children at the time he spake unto his
people; and
they did not believe the tradition of their fathers.
Mosiah 26:2 2 They did not believe what had been
said concerning the
resurrection of the dead, neither did they believe
concerning the
coming of Christ.
