Verse 12
- Who is this Helam, and why does he have the same name as the royal Mulekite and brother of Ammon sent later to inquire about the whereabouts of the Zeniff colony?
- Why does Alma pray like this before baptizing Helam? Is this just an example of praying before performing anything unto the LORD, or is there something else going on here?
[edit]
Verse 13
- Where did Alma get his power and authority to baptize?
- Why does this baptismal prayer differ from the one we use today?
- What does it mean for Christ to have been "prepared from the foundation fo the world"? What is the "foundation" of the world?
[edit]
Verse 14
- Why would Alma and Helam both be "buried in the water" in this baptism? Was Alma baptizing himself?
- What does it mean that they both "arose" after the baptism?
[edit]
Verse 15
- Why didn't Alma "bury himself again in the water" after the first baptism?
