“In the First Place”

Church Educational System

Alma says that those ‘ordained unto the high priesthood of the holy order of God’ were ‘in the first place, ’ that is in pre-existence, ‘on the same standing with their brethren, ’ meaning that initially all had equal opportunity to progress through righteousness.
