Alma 3:12 - Alma 3:22
12 Behold they were in the midst of darkness; nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word;
13 Yea, they were encircled about by the bands of death, and the chains of hell, and an everlasting destruction did await them.
14 And now I ask of you my brethren, Were they destroyed?
15 Behold, I say unto you, Nay, they were not.
16 And again I ask, Were the bands of death broken, and the chains of hell which encircled them about, were they loosed?
17 I say unto you, Yea, they were loosed, and their souls did expand, and they did sing redeeming love.
18 And I say unto you that they are saved.
19 And now I ask of you on what conditions are they saved? Yea, what grounds had they to hope for salvation?
20 What is the cause of their being loosed from the bands of death? Yea, and also, the chains of hell?
21 Behold, I can tell you: Did not my father Alma believe in the words which were delivered by the mouth of Abinadi? And was he not a holy prophet?
22 Did he not speak the words of God, and my father Alma believe them?
