Moroni 8:8 8 Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the whole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them; and the law of circumcision is done away in me.
Moroni 8:9 9 And after this manner did the Holy
Ghost manifest the word of
God unto me; wherefore, my beloved son, I know that
it is solemn
mockery before God, that ye should baptize little
children.
Moroni 8:10 10 Behold I say unto you that this thing shall ye teach—repentance and baptism unto those who are accountable and capable of committing sin; yea, teach parents that they must repent and be baptized, and humble themselves as their little children, and they shall all be saved with their little children.
Moroni 8:11 11 And their little children need no
repentance, neither
baptism. Behold, baptism is unto repentance
to the fulfilling
the commandments unto the remission of sins.
Moroni 8:12 12 But little children are alive in
Christ, even from the
foundation of the world; if not so, God is a partial
God, and
also a changeable God, and a respecter to persons;
for how many
little children have died without baptism!
Moroni 8:13 13 Wherefore, if little children could
not be saved without
baptism, these must have gone to an endless hell.
Moroni 8:14 14 Behold I say unto you, that he that supposeth that little children need baptism is in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity, for he hath neither faith, hope, nor charity; wherefore, should he be cut off while in the thought, he must go down to hell.
Moroni 8:15 15 For awful is the wickedness to suppose
that God saveth one
child because of baptism, and the other must perish
because he
hath no baptism.
Moroni 8:16 16 Wo be unto them that shall pervert
the ways of the Lord after
this manner, for they shall perish except they repent.
Behold, I
speak with boldness, having authority from God; and
I fear not
what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all
fear.
Moroni 8:17 17 And I am filled with charity, which
is everlasting love;
wherefore, all children are alike unto me; wherefore,
I love
little children with a perfect love; and they are
all alike and
partakers of salvation.
Moroni 8:18 18 For I know that God is not a partial
God, neither a
changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all
eternity to all
eternity.
Moroni 8:19 19 Little children cannot repent; wherefore,
it is awful
wickedness to deny the pure mercies of God unto them,
for they
are all alive in him because of his mercy.
Moroni 8:20 20 And he that saith that little children
need baptism denieth
the mercies of Christ, and setteth at naught the atonement
of him
and the power of his redemption.
