“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall
follow the Son, with full purpose of heart acting no hypocrisy and no deception
before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the
Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism –
yea by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to
his word, behold then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost.” (2Nephi 31:13)
This is one of those scriptures that I have little to say
about. It is so clear and says it completely --
with full purpose of heart acting no hypocrisy and no deception…with
real intent, repenting, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take
upon you the name of Christ. Having done this then following through with
baptism showing that you are willing to make a public statement of what you
believe – walk the talk so to speak and make a commitment. When you are ready then ye shall receive the
Holy Spirit which shall be a guide, a comforter and teacher to you. (see John
14:16- 26)
What a sweet promise.
