100 And thus, notwithstanding there being many churches they were all one church; yea, even the church of God:
101 For there was nothing preached in all the churches except it were repentance and faith in God.
102 And now there were seven churches in the land of Zarahemla.
103 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; and they were called the people of God.
104 And the Lord did pour out his Spirit upon them, and they were blessed, and prospered in the land.
105 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.
106 They did not believe what had been said concerning the resurrection of the dead; neither did they believe concerning the coming of Christ.
107 And now because of their unbelief, they could not understand the word of God; and their hearts were hardened.
108 And they would not be baptized; neither would they join the church.
109 And they were a separate people as to their faith, and remained so ever after, even in their carnal and sinful state; for they would not call upon the Lord their God.
110 And now in the reign of Mosiah, they were not half so numerous as the people of God; but because of the dissensions among the brethren, they became more numerous.
