COUNT V TWEE AND DOCTRINES OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS jesua CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS i we believe in god the eternal father and in his hla son jesus christ and lu in the holy ghost who naho bears record of them for evar ever 1 wa we bel bei beliele lete letb that all mankind through the transgression of our first firel parents were brought 0 1 i under the curse and penalty of transgression but that through the sufferings rings death ani and atonement stone atone ment nent of jesus christ all are to be redeemed from any effects of original trans cres ereg egression ston slon that as they were placed under a penalty without any act of their own so 0 o they were delivered dei vered from it precisely on the same terms term for as by the offense offence of one judgment camo came upon all raea raca to condemnation even no 0 o by the righteousness of one the free kift gift came upon all men unto the justification of ilfe life rom v 18 we believe hat that little children are innocent and not under transgression that they are incapable of obeying any law not believing goo good or evil and jesus sayi ot kuchare buch such are the k kingdom ined ot heaven but thea then when they arrive at years of maturity and know knowd oa from evil and are capable of obeying or disobeying eb eying a law if they then transgress they will be condemned for breaking a law aya W believe belleve b that no mn man will be condemned for not obeying a law that he does not know and that consequently million millions of the human family who have never had the gospel are hetter better off than those who have lave had bad that privilege and disobeyed dit obeyed ir it that mankind will be judged according to what they have and not according to that they have hare not done according to the deed deeds dole in the body we believe that faith in god and in the Buffe sufferings rings death and atonement of our dur lord and saviour jesu christ and in his bia resurrection and ascension on high and in the holy ghost which is stiven coall to all ail who obey the dospel and is one of the first conditions that the next is to repent of to conte confes 9 and to turn away from their sins and make to all whom they have injured as tar ar as it is in their power that the third ia Is to be baptized by immersion in water in the name of the father son a and ad hily ghost for remission re of bins sins and that this thia ordinance must be performed by one having authority or otherwise it is of no ava avail il the fourth i to receive the laying conof on of hands in the name of jesus christ for the gitt of the holy ghatt and this thia ordin ordinance aiice atice must also alio be administered by the apostles or elders eiders whom the lord jesus has called to lay on a hanis hn la bor bar DOT then I 1 is I 1 it of any vantage advantage td except to those persons person who have comp complied lieg with the afore named three conditions condU loBi we believe that the holy ghost is the same ime nov now no v as it
