Again we see the wisdom of Limhi. He could have assumed authority and baptized his people, but he understood that no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron (Heb 5:4). So many others in the history of mankind have not worried that they had no authority but started their own churches with their own authority, doctrines, ordinances, and wisdom. In essence, they were able to create churches with a form of godliness but they denied the power thereof (JS-H 1:19) because they were never based on proper authority from God.
