The facts are that the Lord took Moses up on a high mountain
and there revealed to him how the earth came into existence, and also told him
about our father Adam in the Garden of Eden, how he fell from grace, and
furthermore that the gospel that we are preaching here today, and in which we rejoice
at the present time, was preached to Adam in the beginning and did not come into
existence in the meridian of time. John was not the first man who baptized, but
Adam was taught the principle of baptism. The gospel, as we receive it now, and
as we understand it, was revealed to father Adam, was revealed to Enoch and
Noah, was preached to Abraham, and was known in part in the days of Moses. (A Voice in the Wilderness: The 1888-1930 General
Conference Sermons of Mormon Historian Andrew Jenson, ed. Reid L. Neilson
and Scott D. Marianno [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018], 255)
