AlmaChapter6
1 And now it came to pass that after Alma had made an end of speaking unto the people of the church, which was established in the city of Zarahemla, he ordained priests and elders, by laying on his hands according to the order of God, to preside and watch over the church.
2 And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who repented of their sins were baptized unto repentance, and were received into the church.
3 And it also came to pass that whosoever did belong to the church that did not repent of their wickedness and humble themselves before God—I mean those who were lifted up in the pride of their hearts—the same were rejected, and their names were blotted out, that their names were not numbered among those of the righteous.
4 And thus they began to establish the order of the church in the city of Zarahemla.
5 Now I would that ye should understand that the word of God was liberal unto all, that none were deprived of the privilege of assembling themselves together to hear the word of God.
6 Nevertheless the children of God were commanded that they should gather themselves together oft, and join in fasting and mighty prayer in behalf of the welfare of the souls of those who knew not God.
7 And now it came to pass that when Alma had made these regulations he departed from them, yea, from the church which was in the city of Zarahemla, and went over upon the east of the river Sidon, into the valley of Gideon, there having been a city built, which was called the city of Gideon, which was in the valley that was called Gideon, being called after the man who was slain by the hand of Nehor with the sword.
8 And Alma went and began to declare the word of God unto the church which was established in the valley of Gideon, according to the revelation of the truth of the word which had been spoken by his fathers, and according to the spirit of prophecy which was in him, according to the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who should come to redeem his people from their sins, and the holy order by which he was called. And thus it is written. Amen.
After Alma had finished speaking to the people of the church that was established in the city of Zarahemla, he ordained priests and elders by the laying on of his hands, according to the order of God, to preside and watch over the church.
All who did not belong to the church and repented of their sins were baptized in repentance and received into the church. But those who belonged to the church and did not repent of their wickedness and humble themselves before God — I mean those who were proud in their hearts — were rejected, and their names were blotted out, so that they were not counted among the names of the righteous. And so they began to establish the order of the church in the city of Zarahemla.
Now, I want you to understand that the word of God was given freely to all: no one was denied the privilege of gathering together to hear the word of God. Even so, the children of God were commanded to gather together often and to join in fasting and mighty prayer for the welfare of the souls of those who did not know God.
When Alma had made these regulations, he left the church in the city of Zarahemla and crossed to the east of the river Sidon, into the valley of Gideon. A city had been built there, called the city of Gideon, in the valley named after Gideon, the man who was killed by the hand of Nehor with the sword.
And Alma went and began to preach the word of God to the church established in the valley of Gideon. He preached according to the revelation of the truth of the word his fathers had spoken, and according to the spirit of prophecy that was in him. He preached according to the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who would come to redeem his people from their sins, and according to the holy order by which he was called. And so it is written. Amen.
