Moroni 8:5

For, if I have learned the truth,

there have been disputations among you

concerning the baptism of your little children.

Moroni 8:8

Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God.

Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance;

the whole need no physician, but they that are sick;

wherefore, little children are whole,

for they are not capable of committing sin;

wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me,

that it hath no power over them;

and the law of circumcision is done away in me.

Moroni 8:9

And after this manner did the Holy Ghost manifest the word of God unto me;

wherefore, my beloved son,

I know that it is solemn mockery before God,

that ye should baptize little children.

Moroni 8:10

Behold I say unto you that this thing shall ye teach —

repentance and baptism unto those

who are accountable and capable of committing sin;

yea, teach parents that they must repent and be baptized,

and humble themselves as their little children,

and they shall all be saved with their little children.

Moroni 8:11

And their little children need no repentance, neither baptism.

Behold, baptism is unto repentance

to the fulfilling the commandments unto the remission of sins.

Moroni 8:12

But little children are alive in Christ,

even from the foundation of the world;

if not so, God is a partial God,

and also a changeable God, and a respecter to persons;

for how many little children have died without baptism!

Moroni 8:13

Wherefore, if little children could not be saved without baptism,

these must have gone to an endless hell.

Moroni 8:14

Behold I say unto you,

that he that supposeth that little children need baptism

is in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity;

for he hath neither faith, hope, nor charity;

wherefore, should he be cut off while in the thought,

he must go down to hell.

Moroni 8:17

And I am filled with charity, which is everlasting love;

wherefore, all children are alike unto me;

wherefore, I love little children with a perfect love;

and they are all alike and partakers of salvation.

Moroni 8:19

little children cannot repent;

wherefore, it is awful wickedness

to deny the pure mercies of God unto them,

for they are all alive in him because of his mercy.

Moroni 8:20

And he that saith that little children need baptism

denieth the mercies of Christ,

and setteth at naught the atonement of him

and the power of his redemption.

Moroni 8:22

For behold that all little children are alive in Christ,

and also all they that are without the law.

For the power of redemption cometh on all them that have no law;

wherefore, he that is not condemned,

or he that is under no condemnation, cannot repent;

and unto such baptism availeth nothing —
