_2. Scripture Proof of the Trinity:_ In four separate ways is this made apparent: (1) at the baptism of Jesus. As Jesus, who is God, the Son, came forth from his baptism at the hands of John, a manifestation of the presence of God the Holy Ghost, was given in the sign of the Dove, which rested upon Jesus; while, lo, a voice from heaven, the voice of God, the Father, was heard, saying---"This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased";[A] (2) in the commission given to the apostles to teach all nations: "and Jesus came and spake unto them saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."[B] (3) in the vision of Stephen; the mob rushed upon Stephen--"But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked steadfastly into heaven, and saw the Glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God."[C] (4) in the apostolic benediction, viz., "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all."[D] [Footnote A: Matt. iii:16, 17.] [Footnote B: Matt. xxviii:18, 19.] [Footnote C: Acts vii:55, 56.] [Footnote D: II Cor. xiii:14.] This Godhead of three divine persons is emphatically proclaimed in the Book of Mormon: They shall be "arraigned before the bar of Christ, the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works."[A] "And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name [this after giving the baptismal formula--I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, see context], for verily I say unto you, that the Father and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one"--Jesus.[B] "The Father, and I and the Holy Ghost are one."--Jesus.[C] [Footnote A: Alma xi:44.] [Footnote B: II Nephi xi:24, 27.] [Footnote C: Ibid ver. 36.
