An Examination into and an Elucidation of the Great Principle of the Mediation and Atonement of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

"But God hath made known unto our fathers that all men must repent.
And he called upon our father Adam by his own voice, saying, I am God:
I made the world, and men before they were in the flesh. And he also
said unto him, If thou wilt turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice,
and believe, and repent of all thy transgressions, and be baptized,
even in water, in the name of mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of
grace and truth, which is Jesus Christ, the only name which shall be
given under heaven, whereby salvation shall come unto the children of
men, ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, asking all things in
his name, and whatsoever ye shall ask, it shall be given you. And our
father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said, Why is it that men must
repent and be baptized in water? And the Lord said unto Adam, Behold,
I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden. Hence
came the saying abroad among the people, That the Son of God hath
atoned for original guilt, wherein the sins of the parents cannot be
answered upon the heads of the children, for they are whole from the
foundation of the world."--Ibid.
"Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must
repent, or they can in no wise inherit the kingdom of God, for no
unclean thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence; for, in the
language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name; and the name of his
Only Begotten, is the Son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous Judge
who shall come in the meridian of time. Therefore I give unto you a
commandment, to teach these things freely unto your children, saying,
That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth
death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and
blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a
living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven,
of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood
of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and
enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the
world to come, even immortal glory: For by the water ye keep the
commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are
sanctified; therefore it is given to abide in you; the record of
heaven; the Comforter; the peaceable things of immortal glory; the
truth of all things; that which quickeneth all things, which maketh
alive all things; that which knoweth all things, and hath all power,
according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and judgment. And now,
behold, I say unto you, This is the plan of salvation unto all men,
through the blood of mine Only Begotten, who shall come in the
meridian of time."--Ibid.
"And he gave unto me [Enoch] a commandment that I should baptize in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, who is full of grace and
truth, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of the' Father and the
Son."--Ibid.
