This week we are studying the article of faith number 4, “We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.”A principle is a truth that leads us back to Heavenly Father vs an ordinance which is an act that someone with the priesthood performs. These four principles and ordinances are the first we must live before we can grow in the gospel. D&C 20 verse 71 says "No one can be received into the church of Christ unless he has arrived unto the years of ac- countability before God, and is capable of repentance." This refers to baptism. The age of accountability the verse is talking about is 8 years old. I think this verse is cool because it shows baptism as being more than a one-time occurrence. baptism gives the ability to repent over and over. D&C 131 verse 2 says, "And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priest- hood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];" Men have to obtain the priesthood and women must marry to get into the highest kingdom. D&C 137 verse 10 says, "And I also beheld that all chil- dren who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven." Though we understand ordinances are necessary to enter the highest kingdom of heaven, god is merciful and doesn't hold children who aren't old enough and have died accountable. Word Count:
