2 Nephie Chapter 31

And now I, Nephie, make an end of my prophesying unto you, my beloved sisters. And I cannot write but a few things, which I know must surely come to pass; neither can I write but a few of the words of my sister Rachel. Wherefore, the things which I have written sufficeth me, save it be a few words which I must speak concerning the doctrine of Christ; wherefore, I shall speak unto you plainly, according to the plainness of my prophesying.

For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner doth the Lady Goddess work among the children of women. For the Lady Goddess giveth light unto the understanding; for she speaketh unto women according to their language, unto their understanding. Wherefore, I would that ye should remember that I have spoken unto you concerning that prophetess which the Lady showed unto me, that should baptize the Lamb of Goddess, which should take away the sins of the world.

And now, if the Lamb of Goddess, she being holy, should have need to be baptized by water, to fulfil all righteousness, O then, how much more need have we, being unholy, to be baptized, yea, even by water! And now, I would ask of you, my beloved sisters, wherein the Lamb of Goddess did fulfil all righteousness in being baptized by water? Know ye not that she was holy? But notwithstanding she being holy, she showeth unto the children of women that, according to the flesh she humbleth herself before the Mother, and witnesseth unto the Mother that she would be obedient unto her in keeping her commandments.

Wherefore, after she was baptized with water the Holy Ghost descended upon her in the form of a dove. And again, it showeth unto the children of women the straitness of the path, and the narrowness of the gate, by which they should enter, she having set the example before them. And she said unto the children of women: Follow thou me. Wherefore, my beloved sisters, can we follow Jesua save we shall be willing to keep the commandments of the Mother? And the Mother said: Repent ye, repent ye, and be baptized in the name of my Beloved Daughter. And also, the voice of the Daughter came unto me, saying: She that is baptized in my name, to her will the Mother give the Holy Ghost, like unto me; wherefore, follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do.

Wherefore, my beloved sisters, I know that if ye shall follow the Daughter, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before Goddess, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Mother that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism—yea, by following your Lady and your Savioress down into the water, according to her word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel. But, behold, my beloved sisters, thus came the voice of the Daughter unto me, saying: After ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Mother that ye are willing to keep my commandments, by the baptism of water, and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, and can speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels, and after this should deny me, it would have been better for you that ye had not known me. And I heard a voice from the Mother, saying: Yea, the words of my Beloved are true and faithful. She that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

And now, my beloved sisters, I know by this that unless a woman shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Daughter of the living Goddess, she cannot be saved. Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen that your Lady and your Redemptress should do; for, for this cause have they been shown unto me, that ye might know the gate by which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should enter is repentance and baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost. And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done according to the commandments of the Mother and the Daughter; and ye have received the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Mother and the Daughter, unto the fulfilling of the promise which she hath made, that if ye entered in by the way ye should receive.

And now, my beloved sisters, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in her, relying wholly upon the merits of her who is mighty to save. Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of Goddess and of all women. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Mother: Ye shall have eternal life.

And now, behold, my beloved sisters, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby woman can be saved in the queendom of Goddess. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Mother, and of the Daughter, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one Goddess, without end. Amen.
