Moroni 6
Chapter 6
Moroni 6:1 1 And now I speak concerning baptism.
Behold, elders, priests,
and teachers were baptized; and they were not baptized
save they
brought forth fruit meet that they were worthy of
it.
Moroni 6:2 2 Neither did they receive any unto baptism
save they came forth
with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and witnessed
unto the
church that they truly repented of all their sins.
Moroni 6:3 3 And none were received unto baptism
save they took upon them
the name of Christ, having a determination to serve
him to the
end.
Moroni 6:4 4 And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.
Moroni 6:5 5 And the church did meet together oft,
to fast and to pray, and
to speak one with another concerning the welfare of
their souls.
Moroni 6:6 6 And they did meet together oft to partake
of bread and wine,
in remembrance of the Lord Jesus.
Moroni 6:7 7 And they were strict to observe that there should be no iniquity among them; and whoso was found to commit iniquity, and three witnesses of the church did condemn them before the elders, and if they repented not, and confessed not, their names were blotted out, and they were not numbered among the people of Christ.
Moroni 6:8 8 But as oft as they repented and sought
forgiveness, with real
intent, they were forgiven.
Moroni 6:9 9 And their meetings were conducted by
the church after the
manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power
of the
Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led
them whether
to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate,
or to
sing, even so it was done.

Chapter 7
Moroni 7:1 1 And now I, Moroni, write a few of the
words of my father
Mormon, which he spake concerning faith, hope, and
charity; for
after this manner did he speak unto the people, as
he taught them
in the synagogue which they had built for the place
of worship.
Moroni 7:2 2 And now I, Mormon, speak unto you,
my beloved brethren; and it
is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus
Christ, and
his holy will, because of the gift of his calling
unto me, that I
am permitted to speak unto you at this time.
Moroni 7:3 3 Wherefore, I would speak unto you that
are of the church, that
are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have
obtained a
sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest
of the Lord,
from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with
him in heaven.
