50:00 I say it was Heavenly Father that baptized Adam. And I'm only saying that because, of all the members of the Godhead, Heavenly Father had a body, and as we know it, only those with a body can perform this ordinance. Now, Richard says that because Adam was cast out of His presence, therefore because the Atonement hadn't been wrought yet, Adam couldn't have overcome that spiritual death and abided the Father's presence. And I see where he's getting at, but at the same time, Adam had entered into a covenant relationship with the savior and had become reborn thousands of years before the meridian of time and the saviors sacrifice, so if he's made holy and clean because of the Atonement of Christ, it's not too far out to see that Adam could then come into the Father's presence for that particular ordinance. And yes, I am speculating, just for the record.
