Baptismal Regeneration in the Proclamation of the Twelve, April 6, 1845

Taken from:


“1845 Proclamation of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” (from vol. 1 of Messages of the First Presidency)

 

In order to meet this great event there must needs be a preparation.

 

Therefore we send unto you with authority from on high, and command you all to repent and humble yourselves as little children, before the majesty of the Holy One; and come unto Jesus with a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and be baptized in his name, for the remission of sins (that is, be buried in the water in the likeness of his burial and rise again to newness of life, in the likeness of his resurrection), and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, through the laying on of the hands of the Apostles and elders, of this great and last dispensation of mercy to man.
