CHAPTER 30

The latter-day Gentiles are commanded to repent, come unto Christ, and be numbered with the house of Israel. About A.D. 34–35.

  1 Hearken, O ye Gentiles, and hear the words of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, which he hath ^acommanded me that I should speak concerning you, for, behold he commandeth me that I should write, saying: Listen up! These are words from Christ to us! 
  2 Turn, all ye ^aGentiles, from your wicked ways; and ^brepent of your evil doings, of your ^clyings and deceivings, and of your whoredoms, and of your secret abominations, and your idolatries, and of your ^dmurders, and your ^epriestcrafts, and your ^fenvyings, and your strifes, and from all your wickedness and abominations, and come unto me, and be baptized in my name, that ye may receive a remission of your sins, and be filled with the Holy Ghost, that ye may be ^gnumbered with my people who are of the house of Israel. Ultimately, this is the message of every missionary in America, at least. Recognize your wicked ways and make a choice to turn away from them and choose something different. What wicked ways?

• evil doings
• lying
• deception
• whoredom
• secret abominations
• idolatries
• murder
• priestcraft
• envy
• strife
• all wickedness
• all abominations

Instead

• Come unto Christ
• be baptized in His name
• receive a remission of sins
• be filled with the Holy Ghost
• be numbered with the house of Israel

What if the Gentiles are even members of the church Gentiles? We've been baptized, but have we received a remission of our sins and been filled with the Holy Ghost? If we haven't is it saying we are not yet numbered with the house of Israel? Are we guilty of only "half a baptism" (as Joseph Smith warned)

“The gospel requires baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, which is the meaning of the word in the original language—namely, to bury or immerse. … I further believe in the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, [as evidenced] by Peter’s preaching on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:38. You might as well baptize a bag of sand as a man, if not done in view of the remission of sins and getting of the Holy Ghost. Baptism by water is but half a baptism, and is good for nothing without the other half—that is, the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The Savior says, ‘Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’ [John 3:5.]”
