“Who Believed Because of the Testimony of the Five”

"…back in prison, something marvelous is happening to the five men who were first accused of the murder. The Spirit of the Lord comes upon them and they are converted. And then in Helaman 9:39 it says: ’There were some of the Nephites who believed on the words of Nephi; and there were some also, who believed because of the testimony of the five, for they had been converted while they were in prison.’

“Now, don‘t ever think your testimony isn’t strong, because it is. Every testimony that’s born is not born of man, but born of God by the power of the Holy Ghost. When you bear testimony, it’s not you. It’s not me. It’s the Spirit of God, and that’s powerful.” (Ed J. Pinegar, Especially for Missionaries, vol. 4, chapter 2)
