ORDINANCES

    Baptism  Now these are the words that you must say, calling them by name, saying:

    Having authority given to me by Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
    Amen.


    And then you must immerse them under the water and bring them back out of the water. This is the way you must baptize in My name.

    (3 Nephi 5:8 CE)


    Sacrament  The way in which their elders and priests administered Christ’s flesh and blood to the congregation. They administered it according to Christ’s commandments, so we know that the way they did it is correct. The elder or priest administered it. They knelt down with the congregation and prayed to the Father in the name of Christ, saying:

    O God the Eternal Father, we ask You in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ to bless and sanctify this bread for the souls of all those who partake of it, so they can eat in remembrance of Your Son’s body and show to You, O God the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon themselves the name of Your Son, and always remember Him, and keep His commandments He has given them, so they can always have His Spirit to be with them.
    Amen.


    The way in which the wine was administered. They took the cup and said:

    O God the Eternal Father, we ask You in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ to bless and sanctify this wine for the souls of all those who drink of it, so they can do it in remembrance of Your Son’s blood, which was shed for them, so they can show to You, O God the Eternal Father, that they always remember Him, so they can have His Spirit to be with them.
    Amen.


    (Moroni 4:1 and 5:1 CE)
