Words of the Risen Lord
After this manner shall ye baptize in my name… Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. — 3 Nephi 11:24–25
The Moment
After declaring His doctrine, the Risen Lord taught the Nephites the sacred ordinance of baptism. He gave exact words, leaving no ambiguity:
“After this manner shall ye baptize in my name…” (3 Nephi 11:24)
He also clarified that **authority was essential**: the person must be ordained and act in His name. Baptism was not symbolic only—it was a binding covenant performed with divine approval.
Insights from Scripture and Prophets
Christ’s instruction shows that baptism is both sacred and orderly. It is not just an act of faith, but a covenant entered into with power and precision.
President Dallin H. Oaks explained:
“The ordinance of baptism must be performed by one who holds the proper priesthood authority and who follows the divinely prescribed procedure.”
— President Dallin H. Oaks, October 2011 General Conference
In a world filled with religious variation, the Savior emphasized clarity. He gave His church one doctrine, one baptism, and one authorized way to receive it.
