2 Nephi 31:3

that should baptize the Lamb of God,

which should take away the sins of the world.

2 Nephi 31:5

to be baptized by water, to fulfil all righteousness,

to be baptized, yea, even by water!

wherein the Lamb of God did fulfil all righteousness in being baptized by water?

2 Nephi 31:13

Wherefore, my beloved brethren,

I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart,

acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent,

repenting of your sins,

witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing

to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism —

yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word,

behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost;

yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost;

and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels,

and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.

in following the example of the Son of the living God,

he cannot be saved.

2 Nephi 31:20

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ,

having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.

Wherefore, if ye shall press forward,

feasting upon the word of Christ,

and endure to the end,

behold, thus saith the Father:

Ye shall have eternal life.

2 Nephi 31:21

And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way;

and there is none other way nor name given under heaven

whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.

And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ,

and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,

which is one God, without end.

Amen.
