After Baptism Comes the Holy Ghost

My beloved brethren, why do you wonder about what to do after you are baptized? Do you remember me telling you that after you received the Holy Ghost you could speak with the tongue of angels? Now, how could you do this unless it were by the Holy Ghost?

Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost, so they speak Christ’s words. This is why I told you to heed Christ’s words, which will tell you everything that you should do.

If you cannot understand what I have told you, it is because you do not ask God for the answer. If you do not ask, you will not come into the light, but will die spiritually in the dark. Again I tell you, if you are baptized and receive the Holy Ghost, He will tell you what to do at all times.

This is all I will say about Christ’s doctrine for now. More of His doctrine will be given when He comes to teach you Himself; doctrine that you should obey. The Spirit stops me from telling you any more. I can only sorrow because people are so stubborn and refuse to believe. They will not search out knowledge or understand great knowledge when it is given to them in plain words.

Brothers and sisters, I, Nephi, know that you are still wondering what to do. I am sorry to say that if you were listening to the Spirit, you would know that you must pray, for it is the evil spirit who teaches you not to pray. You must always pray, never forgetting to pray to the Father in the name of Christ before doing anything for the Lord. If you do this, He will bless all that you do, so that it will benefit your soul.
