Alma 30:53

But behold, the devil hath deceived me;

for he appeared unto me in the form of an angel, and said unto me:

Go and reclaim this people,

for they have all gone astray after an unknown God.

And he said unto me:

There is no God;

yea, and he taught me that which I should say.

And I have taught his words;

and I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind;

and I taught them, even until I had much success,

insomuch that I verily believed that they were true;

and for this cause I withstood the truth,

even until I have brought this great curse upon me.

therefore his heart was exceedingly sorrowful

because of the separation of the Zoramites from the Nephites.

Yea, in fine, they did pervert the ways of the Lord in very many instances;

therefore, for this cause, Alma and his brethren went into the land

to preach the word unto them.

is this faith?

Behold, I say unto you, Nay;

for if a man knoweth a thing he hath no cause to believe,

for he knoweth it.

Alma 32:19

And now, how much more cursed is he

that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not,

than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe,

and falleth into transgression?
