“The removal of the names of rebellious and unrepentant Church members from Church records is a formal measure reflecting a loss that has already taken place in the heart. King Benjamin taught that the name of Christ received by those who enter the gospel covenant ‘never shall be blotted out, except it be through transgression’ (Mosiah 1:12; cf. 5:7–8, 11)” (Largey, Book of Mormon Reference Companion, 98).
