I, Alma, having been consecrated by my father, Alma,

to be a high priest over the church of God,

he having power and authority from God to do these things,

behold, I say unto you

that he began to establish a church in the land

which was in the borders of Nephi;

yea, the land which was called the land of Mormon;

yea, and he did baptize his brethren in the waters of Mormon.

Alma 5:5

And behold, after that, they were brought into bondage

by the hands of the Lamanites in the wilderness;

yea, I say unto you, they were in captivity,

and again the Lord did deliver them out of bondage by the power of his word;

and we were brought into this land,

and here we began to establish the church of God throughout this land also.
