Sections 47-49

I feel kinda bad becuase I don't have that amzing deep thoughts for these sections.  There wasn't much that jumped out for me. 
But one thing that I did notice, that wont make me sound reptitive again in my postings is the forth artical of faith.

49:12-14 it lists the thing you need to have, the first principals and ordinces of the gosple.  Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Repentince, Baptism (for the remission of sins by emersion), recive the Holy Ghost (by the laying on of hands)

It is importent for them to be in this order.
How can you do the other three first without having a testimony in the Lord Jesus Christ, faith in him that he did once live and that he died for you.  If you do not believe that he did die for us, that he came and lived his life and blead in the garden and died and was risen from the dead FOR US, then you really wouldnt believe in the other steps.  So Therefor, without faith in the Lord Jesus christ then there wont be a testimony on the rest of the docterin of the church.

Then there is repentince.  To fully give yourself into the gosple repentince is importent.  You need to believe that the Lord will forgive you for all that is in your past.  I can't even tell you a number of how many times that the Book of Mormon and the D&C talk about repentince and the preching of repentince.  So it follows after Faith in Christ for a reason.  You can't really be baptised and not believe in the fact that you can be forgive can you ?  No you can't, sorry.

Repentince [X]

Third baptism by emersion for the remission of sins.  Most churchs do not believe in baptsim by emersion, and I really wish I had more to say and explain, I know I have been taught why, But I know that it is importent, like the whole body being submerged, kinda physicly being washed clean of all sin.

Baptism by embersion [X]

The laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This is the baptism by fire. After you have gone though it all, having faith, repenting, getting baptised, you can now recive the Holy Ghost, the great comforter.  I know I would be lost without it.  It is in my everyday life guiding me to where I am supposed to be, and reminding me who I need to be.

I am so sry this isnt that good of a post.  Maybe I shouldn't be writing these when  am really tired. 

anyways.  I know the church is true, and I have compleated all the steps and still try to live my life in accordince to the Lords commandments.  I still continually am repenting and trying to keep the spirit with me.

I am greatful for all my many blessings and for missionary work.

I love this church and the Book of Mormon and D&C are true!
