John Taylor (1882) on the Universal Beliefs Held by All Peoples

  

Amongst these ideas or principles we will mention a few that were so general that they might almost be called universal:

 

1st. The belief in one great father God.

 

2d. The expectation of the coming of His Son to dwell in the flesh and redeem mankind.

 

3d. The belief in a resurrection, and in future rewards and punishments for acts done in this life.

 

4th. The observance of the rite of sacrifice.

 

5th. The doctrine of repentance, and in certain cases the ordinance of baptism. (John Taylor, An Examination into and an Elucidation of the Great Principle of the Mediation and Atonement of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ [Salt Lake City: Deseret News, 1882], 197)
