Heber C. Kimball on Rebaptisms (October 19, 1856)

  

I speak of this, that you may understand that your re-baptisms must be agreeable to the order laid down. It is not simply a man's saying, 'Having been commissioned by Jesus Christ, I baptize you for the renewal of your covenant and remission of your sins,' but you must be subject to your brethren and fulfil the law of God. (Heber C. Kimball, “Discourse,” October 19, 1856, repr. The Deseret News 6, no. 44 [January 7, 1857]: 4)
