Journal of Discourses Volume Eighteen
PREFACE
Back to Reference Library |
"About this time came a revelation concerning
baptism for the dead. I know that in my traveling and preaching,
many a time, I have stopped by beautiful streams of clear, pure
water, and have said to myself, "How delightful it would
be to me to go into this, to be baptized for the remission of
my sins." When I got home Joseph told me it was my privilege.
At this time came a revelation, that the Saints could be baptized
and re-baptized when they chose, and then that we could be baptized
for our dear friends." (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses,
Volume 18:241) |
