_III. Of Jesus Christ_.--The Almighty God gave his Only Begotten Son as a ransom for fallen man, as it is written of him in the scriptures. He suffered temptations, but gave no heed to them; he was crucified, died, and rose again the third day; he ascended into heaven to sit on the right hand of his Father, {302} to reign with almighty power according to the will of God. As many as believe on him and are baptized in his holy name--enduring in faith to the end--shall be saved. Not only those who believed after he came in the flesh; but all those who from the beginning believed in the words of the holy prophets, who testified of him in all things. _IV. Of the Holy Ghost and the Trinity_.--The Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and of the Son--is God's witness. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost constitute the Holy Trinity--one God or grand Presidency of heaven and earth, infinite, eternal. _V. Of Justification and Sanctification_.--Justification and sanctification come through the grace of God, and are just and true principles. That is, the grace of God supplies the means or conditions of justification and sanctification, and it is for man to apply those means of salvation. The means or conditions of justification and sanctification are that men love and serve God with all their might, mind, and strength. That would lead them to exercise faith in God, repentance of sin and baptism for the remission of sins, laying on of hands for the Holy Ghost, and the pursuit of a godly life and conversation--the old conditions of salvation.[29] _VI. Of Falling from Grace_.--It is possible for men to fall from grace and depart from the living God, therefore the saints are admonished to take heed and pray always, least they fall into temptation. Even those who are sanctified are cautioned to take heed. _VII. Of Baptism_.--All who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve Him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that {303} they have received of the spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins--shall be received by baptism into the church.[30] No person, however, can be received into the church of Christ, unless he has arrived unto the years of accountability[31] before God, and is capable of repentance. _VIII. Of the Manner of Baptism_.--The person who is called of God, and has authority from Jesus Christ to baptize, shall go into the water with the person who has presented him or herself for baptism, and shall say--calling him or her by name--"Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." [32] Then shall he immerse him or her, and come forth again out of the water.
