Conversion: Part Deux The Anti-Nephi- Lehies

Reminder… Brethren, when my life is finished and the final services are concluding, I am going to rise up as I go by, look each of you in the eye, and say, 'How are we doing on retention?'

People of Ammon Alma 23: 5 And thousands were brought to the knowledge of the Lord… 6 … as many as believed, …or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, … and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away.

Question: How do we convert someone so deeply, so completely, that they never fall away?

Mormon’s Testimony Alma 23 6 And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, …, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth, as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away. For they became a righteous people;

How did Ammon Convert? Alma 23 6 And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to: 1)the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, 2)and the power of God working miracles in them

Lamoni’s Conversion Alma And it came to pass that (Lamoni) arose… and stretched forth his hand…and said: Blessed be the name of God, and blessed art thou. 13 For as sure as thou livest, behold, I have seen my Redeemer; and he shall come forth, and be born of a woman, and he shall redeem all mankind who believe on his name.

Conversion of Alma and the Sons of Mosiah Mosiah And it came to pass … the limbs of Alma received their strength, and he stood up and began to speak unto them, bidding them to be of good comfort: 24 For, said he, I have repented of my sins, and have been redeemed of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.

Question If understanding the Atonement and being born of the Spirit, are the Keys to deep-lasting conversion- What role does Joseph Smith The Restoration Modern Prophets The Temple The Church Welfare System, etc play in that process?

Savior’s Parable of the Sower Matthew 13 Should be the Parable of the Three Soils The Seed, in each case, is the Same The Soils are different The Results are different

President Benson President Benson We must know these essential truths (of the Gospel of Jesus Christ). Aaron and Ammon and their brethren in the Book of Mormon taught these same kinds of truths to the Lamanite people who were "in the darkest abyss" After accepting these eternal truths, the Book of Mormon states, those converted Lamanites never did fall away. If our children and grandchildren are taught and heed these same truths, will they fall away? We best instruct them in the Book of Mormon at our dinner table, by our firesides, at their bedsides, and in our letters and phone calls—in all of our goings and comings.
