"Confidence in
something or someone. As most often used in the scriptures, faith is
confidence and trust in Jesus Christ that lead a person to obey him.
Faith must be centered in Jesus Christ in order for it to lead a person
to salvation."
(Guide to the Scriptures,
Faith)
"A change of
mind and heart that brings a fresh attitude toward God, oneself, and
life in general. Repentance implies that a person turns away from evil
and turns his heart and will to God, submitting to God’s commandments
and desires and forsaking sin. True repentance comes from a love for
God and a sincere desire to obey his commandments. All accountable persons
have sinned and must repent in order to progress toward salvation. Only
through the atonement of Jesus Christ can our repentance become effective
and accepted by God." (Guide
to the Scriptures, Repent/Repentance)
"Baptism by immersion
in water by one having authority is the introductory ordinance of the
gospel and is necessary to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. It is preceded by faith in Jesus Christ and by
repentance. It must be followed by receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost
in order to be complete (2 NE 31: 13-14). Baptism by water and the Spirit
is necessary before a person can enter the celestial kingdom. Adam was
the first to be baptized (Moses 6: 64-65). Jesus also was baptized to
fulfill all righteousness and to show the way for all mankind (Matt.
3: 13-17; 2 NE 31: 5-12)."
(Guide to the Scriptures,
Baptism)
"The power of
the Holy Ghost can come upon a person before baptism and witness that
the gospel is true. But the right to have the constant companionship
of the Holy Ghost, whenever one is worthy, is a gift that can be received
only by the laying on of hands by a Melchizedek Priesthood holder after
authorized baptism into the true Church of Jesus Christ." (Guide
to the Scriptures, Holy Ghost)
"Sacred rites
and ceremonies. Ordinances consist of acts that have spiritual meanings.
Ordinances can also mean God’s laws and statutes." (Guide
to the Scriptures, Ordinances)
