Family Night Field Trips: Part III

After talking about the Savior, his life and atonement, death and resurrection, we focused our third field trip on the doctrine of Christ:

Faith

Repentance

Baptism

The Gift of the Holy Ghost

We went to our church building and talked about the important ordinances that happen there, particularly baptism and the sacrament.  We talked about the word covenant. We talked about Jesus' invitation: "Come unto me and have everlasting life."   We talked about how we do that.

"Wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and the very points of his doctrine that they may know how to come unto him and be saved." (1 Nephi 15:14)

Faith
Repentance
Baptism
The Holy Ghost

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart...with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism—yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost."

We continued the conversation as we walked across the street to the temple grounds.  It was a beautiful evening.

"And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen."

And amen. =)
