Thanks for exploring the application of Kline’s insights about delocutives to the Nephite texts. The essential covenantal dimensions of repentance and baptism has been clear, but your analysis now shows how believing in Christ may be understood as a third piece in the same doctrinal package. You have given us a lot to think about. Thanks for your careful scholarship with the Hebrew Bible focus.
Noel, thanks for your comments. I sincerely appreciate the research that others have conducted that allowed me to observe the connections.
Fascinating! Thank you.
Thanks Brett. Happy you enjoyed the article.
