“Abinadi, like Stephen in the New Testament, is so filled with the Holy Ghost that he has been transfigured. Of Stephen’s defense before a like council in the Old World we read: ‘All that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel’ (Acts 6:15). Those rejecting the testimony of Abinadi or Stephen are condemned by that which they have seen, that which they have heard, and that which they have felt within their souls” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 2:213).
