Adam was taught that repentance is a lifetime process, that “thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore” (Moses 5:8). “The Book of Mormon speaks repeatedly of being ‘baptized unto repentance.’ … The phrase appears in the Doctrine and Covenants as well (see D&C 35:5; 107:20). ‘Baptism of or unto repentance’ simply references the fact that baptism with its covenant of obedience is the capstone of repentance. With full repentance, including baptism, one is qualified for the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, and it is by the Holy Ghost that one receives the baptism of the Spirit (see John 3:5) and forgiveness of sins” (Christofferson, “Divine Gift of Repentance,” 41, and n. 2).
