39 "And again I say unto you, Ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in My name, Or ye can in no wise receive these things!
40 "And again I say unto you, Ye must repent, and be baptized in My name, and become as a little child, Or ye can in no wise inherit the kingdom of God!
41 "Verily, verily I say unto you that this is My doctrine; And whoso buildeth upon this, buildeth upon My rock, And the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.
42 "And whoso shall declare more or less than this and establish it for My doctrine, The same cometh of evil and is not built upon My rock; But he buildeth upon a sandy foundation, And the gates of hell standeth open to receive such when the floods come and the winds beat upon them;
43 Therefore, go forth unto this people and declare the words which I have spoken unto the ends of the earth."
44 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spake these words unto Nephi and to those which had been called - now the number of them which had been called and received power and authority to baptize were twelve -
45 And behold, He stretched forth His hand unto the multitude and cried unto them, saying: "Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve which I have chosen from among you to minister unto you and to be your servants;
46 And unto them I have given power that they may baptize you with water; And after that ye are baptized with water, Behold, I will baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
47 "Therefore, blessed are ye if ye shall believe in Me and be baptized after that ye have seen Me and know that I Am.
48 "And again, more blessed are they which shall believe in your words because that ye shall testify that ye have seen Me and that ye know that I Am;
49 Yea, blessed are they which shall believe in your words and come down into the depths of humility and be baptized, For they shall be visited with fire and with the Holy Ghost and shall receive a remission of their sins.
