Summary

This heading should be brief and may include an outline of the passage. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →

The relationship of verses 6:1-9 to the rest of chapters 2-6 is discussed at Moroni 2-6. Verses 6:1-9 address two related concepts: baptism (verses 1-4), and shepherding members following their baptism (verses 5-9).


Discussion

This heading is for more detailed discussions of all or part of a passage. Discussion may include the meaning of a particular word, how a doctrinal point is developed throughout the passage, insights to be developed in the future, and other items. Contributions may range from polished paragraphs down to a single bullet point. The focus, however, should always be on understanding the scriptural text consistent with LDS doctrine.

  • The phrase "finisher of our faith" (v.4) comes from Heb 12:2. The term translated as finisher in the NT is the Greek noun teleiotes ("perfector") which comes from the Greek verb teleioo (to make perfect or complete, to accomplish or carry through completely, to add what is lacking to make something full).


Points to ponder

  • Is serving the Lord to the end (in verse 3) different from enduring to the end?
  • In practice what does it mean to require those getting baptized to have a determination to serve the Lord to the end? Is this still a precondition of baptism? If so, how does the Church today judge whether this condition has been met?
  • What does it mean to be "wrought upon" by the power of the Holy Ghost (verse 4)?
  • How is Christ the "finisher" of our faith (verse 4)?
  • At church we seem to talk a lot about concepts and programs, how much do we really talk about the "welfare" of our souls (verse 5)?


I have a question

This heading is for unanswered questions and is an important part of the continual effort to improve this wiki. Please do not be shy, as even a basic or "stupid" question can identify things that need to be improved on this page. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →

Notes

Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves, such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word. In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources are preferable to footnotes.
