25 And some have asked concerning the baptism of Adam, which record is contained in the book called the Pearl of Great Price.

26 And behold, it is because of the hardness of their hearts that they ask this, for they seek to find fault with the word that ye have received.

27 And they are like unto Laman and Lemuel and seek to find excuses not to accept My word through thee that they may discredit thee and excuse themselves from living all My commandments.

28 Yet I will explain this to them that perhaps they will see the pit the adversary has prepared for them and repent.

29 For I say unto you, that it was not the Holy Ghost that lifted him up and baptized him, but it was My Spirit or power that did this thing that he fulfill all righteousness.

30 It was preparatory to his being ordained to the office of the Holy Ghost which fell upon him at that time, which ordination he received from his Father who performed this responsibility upon the earth where he dwelt. Even so, Amen.
