Our
lesson this past Sunday was on Baptism. We learned that baptism by
immersion is in similitude of birth, death, and resurrection. Baptism
is, first, the means by which the repentant individual obtains remission
of sins. Second, it is the gateway into the kingdom of God. Little
children who have not reached the years of accountability ( age 8 ) do
not need baptism because they are redeemed through the Atonement of
Jesus Christ. Every person who is baptized into the Church has made a
covenant with the Lord. After baptism, to gain the full blessings of
the gospel, we must continue to be humble, repentant, and obedient.
