Alma 46:15, 18, 21

Alma 46:15

And those who did belong to the church were faithful;

yea, all those who were true believers in Christ

took upon them, gladly, the name of Christ,

or Christians as they were called,

because of their belief in Christ who should come.

Alma 46:18

And he said:

Surely God shall not suffer that we, who are despised

because we take upon us the name of Christ,

shall be trodden down and destroyed,

until we bring it upon us by our own transgressions.

Alma 46:21

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

with their armor girded about their loins,

rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,

that they would not forsake the Lord their God;

or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God,

or fall into transgression,

and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ,

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.
