Jesus Christ Teaches and Gives Power to Baptize | 3 Nephi 11-12

Jesus Christ teaches people of the Americas and calls the prophet Nephi and other disciples by name, giving them power to baptize those who repent and believe in Him.
One by one, these disciples come forward and Jesus demonstrates in front of the people how those who believe in Him are to be immersed in the water and baptized.
Jesus also recites the baptismal prayer to be offered at baptism.
Jesus declares His doctrine and calls a child to stand before them. He teaches the multitude that they must repent, believe in Him, become as a little child and be baptized in His name.
3 Nephi 11: 13 -30
13 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying:
14 Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole dearth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
15 And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
16 And when they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry out with one accord, saying:
17 Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him.
18 And it came to pass that he spake unto Nephi (for Nephi was among the multitude) and he commanded him that he should come forth.
19 And Nephi arose and went forth, and bowed himself before the Lord and did kiss his feet.
20 And the Lord commanded him that he should arise. And he arose and stood before him.
21 And the Lord said unto him: I give unto you power that ye shall baptize this people when I am again ascended into heaven.
22 And again the Lord called others, and said unto them likewise; and he gave unto them power to baptize. And he said unto them: On this wise shall ye baptize; and there shall be no disputations among you.
23 Verily I say unto you, that whoso repenteth of his sins through your words, and desireth to be baptized in my name, on this wise shall ye baptize them-Behold, ye shall go down and stand in the water, and in my name shall ye baptize them.
24 And now behold, these are the words which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying:
25 Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
26 And then shall ye immerse them in the water, and come forth again out of the water.
27 And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one.
28 And according as I have commanded you thus shall ye baptize. And there shall be no disputations among you, as there have hitherto been; neither shall there be disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine, as there have hitherto been.
29 For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.
30 Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.
3 Nephi 11: 1 -2
1 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words unto Nephi, and to those who had been called, (now the number of them who had been called, and received power and authority to baptize, was twelve) and behold, he stretched forth his hand unto the multitude, and cried unto them, saying: Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve whom I have chosen from among you to minister unto you, and to be your servants; and unto them I have given power that they may baptize you with water; and after that ye are baptized with water, behold, I will baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost; therefore blessed are ye if ye shall believe in me and be baptized, after that ye have seen me and know that I am.
2 And again, more blessed are they who shall believe in your words because that ye shall testify that ye have seen me, and that ye know that I am. Yea, blessed are they who shall believe in your words, and come down into the depths of humility and be baptized, for they shall be visited with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and shall receive a remission of their sins.

Love it. Christ is so clear on the points of his gospel! Simply, we need to be baptized the way that He has instructed, and we need to follow the commandments and believe in Christ.

[@nashinajagielski4588]

Man, I love these videos. They bring to life all the treasured stories I've read so many times before. This episode felt almost like a trip to the Temple myself, shedding new light.

[@ZakkiLowe]

I absolutely love these Book of Mormon videos. Especially for helping my kids understand the scriptures.

[@bradman1984]

This video was released with perfect timing. I’m baptizing and confirming my daughter tomorrow ❤

[@BoMwarriorVlog]

Congrats! 😃😁

[@magaDi97]

The privilege to be call by name to serve him in any way possible.

[@duane9166]

This is so well done. I felt a very strong desire as I watched to draw closer to our Savior by renewing my baptismal covenant again. It’s so great I can do this. And I do make this promise again to Christ. I will love and serve Him and keep His commandments with a determination to do so until the end.

[@marthaabrahamson6813]

I love Jesus Christ

[@wdblackman]

I love how Christ knows us and identifies us by name. He knows us individually.

[@bharbertson]

I felt the exact same thing Doug. How wonderful that He knows us individually & perfectly!

[@kellysmithmarketing]

With so much turmoil in the world today we are blessed with these videos that bring us hope and truth and a desire to turn unto Him, our Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for making these! Thanks or spending the time and money and effort to help visualize the scriptures and make them come to life.

[@josephhill7160]

I absolutely love these videos, they have enhanced my testimony of the Gospel and especially of our Savior Jesus Christ. I have felt the power of His love as I have watched these videos. Truly His greatest attribute that we as members of God's family can incorporate into our lives is Charity, the pure love of Jesus Christ. We all need to learn to love Him and others the He loves. This is my testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. Brother Joseph (Josh) Hill

Love that intro music.

[@goblincamper2004]

It is great to watch these videos. I think that when Christ returns, the world will be a much better place. Christ certainly knows us better than we know ourselves.

Je sais que Jésus-Christ me connais personnellement j'ai le témoigne personnelle. Merveilleux son amour pour nous! 💕

[@JennyG.COW5]

Although I mostly view these videos with more of a mild observant attitude, when I heard the words of the the True Jesus Christ (through the voice of this actor), I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be present when the Real Jesus Christ comes again. What would it be like if I was sitting near Jesus Christ and hearing His words and voice when He comes again? What would it be like to be at Jesus' feet, listening to His Words and learning His Gospel? Thank you for helping me feel the Spirit and helping me feel closer to Jesus Christ. ❤️🙏🕊️✝️

The church is true.

[@staines888]

Latter-day saints are good people because they have deeper understanding of the mission of our Lord Jesus Christ that through his grace and mercy all mankind will be saved and will come back to the presence of our Heavenly Father. It says in the scripture "by their fruits you shall know them"

"The Father and I, and the Holy Ghost are one." Meaning in purpose.

So amazing

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Amen

[@DarwinTapayan]

Is it possible to have two set of living 12 Apostle at the same time like in this time where there were Apostles called in Jerusalem and another set in Americas? Jut wandering. Can you explain?

[@JAPTHECAT]

I think jesus christ did this so all of his children can hear his word. And be Baptized and come onto him.

[@aaronmann986]

Good question and the answer is no. The 12 that Christ called in the Book of Mormon were referred to as the 12 Disciples not Apostles.

[@whatdidujustsay2094]

Yes. Why not?

[@samuelthygerson6009]

The Jews had no knowledge of the Nephites and Lamanites in the Americas. The people in ancient America knew of the Jews, but did not have their word after the brass plates received in Jerusalem. I believe God knew the people of the Americas needed the power and authority to act according to His will. It is odd to think of 2 sets of the 12, but if it needed to be done to have the gospel in both lands, God made it work.

[@chischilisnez7811]

Jesus can have as many apostles as he chooses. Why not? Who would limit his decisions?

[@artloveranimation]

One cool detail left out, one of the apostles chosen, Jesus brought back from the dead.

[@janetjohnson7279]

🙏🙏😥😥🙏🙏

[@seekingparadise319]

3 Nephi 19:4 mentions all 12's apostles

[@jaimevarelaredmormon]

The OTHER 12 disciples.

[@corradohess6100]

Wehre is the Book of Helaman

[@jacquelinecampbell4525]

Book of Mormon, pages 368 to 406, between Alma and 3 Nephi.

[@cab9191]

Since this was before 1978, would Jesus have allowed any black skins people to get their saving ordinances or priesthood?

[@Terminatorguy34]

You misunderstand why that was happening, given the situation happening to our black brothers and sisters during that period in time.

[@ChristianRogersMoneyBruh]

Wasn't a policy until Brigham Young's time as President of The Church, so yes it would be allowed. Note: Africans have always been able to be baptised.

[@8missblue8]

Joseph Smith ordained black men to the priesthood. One even served in the 70 (a high ranking position) in the early days of the church. It was Brigham Young that changed that. But nobody is banned from salvation based on how they were born. It’s explicitly stated in the Book of Mormon in 1 Nephi 17:35 “the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one; He that is righteous is favored of God.” So, it’s our works and our hearts that God judges us by. In the Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 18:25 Jesus says, “And ye see that I have commanded that *none* of you should go away, but rather have commanded that ye should come unto me, that ye might feel and see; even so shall ye do unto the world, and whoso breaketh this commandment suffereth himself to be led into temptation.” People are flawed. But Christ and His love are perfect, and He will turn *no one* away who seeks Him.

Did I miss the "white and delightsome" part?

[@samuelthygerson6009]

In spirit, they were delightsome in spirit.

[@chischilisnez7811]

Ya shouln'ta blinked.

[@hollyodii5969]

White meaning the celestial color of white, of purity, not the modern day construct of a “white person”!

[@s.e.e455]

Let’s not attribute politics to truth. We should all be “white and delightsome” in our hearts, pure and clean in Christ, our Savior ❤
