save it be the shedding of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost?

Alma 39:12

Command thy children to do good,

Therefore, there is a time appointed unto men that they shall rise from the dead;

and there is a space between the time of death and the resurrection.

which I have inquired diligently of the Lord to know;

and this is the thing of which I do know.

Alma 40:13

And then shall it come to pass, that

the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil —

for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord;

for behold, they chose evil works rather than good;

therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them,

and take possession of their house —

and these shall be cast out into outer darkness;

there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth,

and this because of their own iniquity,

being led captive by the will of the devil.

Alma 41:7

These are they that are redeemed of the Lord;

for behold, they are their own judges,

whether to do good or do evil.

Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee.

For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden,

to till the ground, from whence they were taken —

yea, he drew out the man,

and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden, cherubim,

and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the tree of life —

and lest he should put forth his hand,

and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever,

the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword,

that he should not partake of the fruit —

if it were not for the plan of redemption, (laying it aside)

as soon as they were dead

their souls were miserable,

being cut off from the presence of the Lord.
