“For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: the Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple
Alexander L. Baugh: Baptism for the Dead Outside Temples 47 “For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: The Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple Alexander L. Baugh The Elders’ Journal of July 1838, published in Far West, Missouri, includ- ed a series of twenty questions related to Mormonism. The answers to the questions bear the editorial pen of Joseph Smith. Question number sixteen posed the following query: “If the Mormon doctrine is true, what has become of all those who have died since the days of the apostles?” The Prophet answered, “All those who have not had an opportunity of hearing the gospel, and being administered to by an inspired man in the flesh, must have it hereafter before they can be finally judged.”1 The Prophet’s thought is clear—the dead must have someone in mortality administer the saving ordinances for them to be saved in the kingdom of God. Significantly, the answer given by the Prophet marks his first known statement concerning the doctrine of vicari- ous work for the dead. However, it was not until more than two years later that the principle was put into practice.2 On 15 August 1840, Joseph Smith preached the funeral sermon of Seymour Brunson during which time he declared for the first time the doc- trine of baptism for the dead.3 Unfortunately, there are no contemporary accounts of the Prophet’s discourse. However, Simon Baker was present at the funeral services and later stated that during the meeting the Prophet read extensively from 1 Corinthians 15, then noted a particular widow in the congregation whose son had died without baptism.

The Term “Endowment” Where Do We Get It?
1 The Term “Endowment” where do we get it? Question of the week: “I was wondering if you could do a study on what has been called by some as ‘the endowment’. What is the endowment? Will we be endowed with ‘powers’ after Christ returns? If so, what powers? Did the endowment already occur? Is the endowment only mentioned in various latter-day revelation (that may or may not be inspired)? If so, which revelations?” As alluded to, the English term “Endow” is not a very common word in the scriptures. It’s only found once in the Old Testament and it means to “obtain in exchange” “give a dowry”. “Endued” is found an additional 5 times in the scriptures and is used to convey that the Holy Spirit is given as a gift from God. As the questioner points out, purported revelations of Joseph Smith do mention they were to be endowed. To the point of one of the questions, during the time period when the Book of Mormon came forth the word “endowment” was used outside the church to reflect a gift or blessing by God. Key verse: Luke 24 : 49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you : but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued* with power from on high . Strong's G1746 - endyō Endued: array, clothe (with), endue, have (put) on. Endue definition , to invest or endow with some gift, quality, or faculty. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/endue Endowment: That which is given or bestowed on the person or mind by the creator ; Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828 .

TEMPLE RITUAL ALTERED Mormon Leaders Delete Some of the “Most Sacred” Parts of Ceremony
Salt Lake City Messenger UTAH LIGHTHOUSE MINISTRY Issue No. 75 PO BOX 1884, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84110 July 1990 TEMPLE RITUAL ALTERED Mormon Leaders Delete Some of the “Most Sacred” Parts of Ceremony In response to Fawn M. Brodie’s book, No Man Knows My History, the noted Mormon apologist Hugh Nibley declared: Yet of all churches in the world only this one has not found it necessary to readjust any part of its doctrine in the last hundred years. How does Brodie explain the fact that the doctrine which she claims was the haphazard outgrowth of complete opportunism remains the most stable on earth? (No Ma’am That’s Not History, 1946, pp. 46-47) Although most Mormons have always placed a great deal of weight in Dr. Nibley’s arguments, recent developments within the church itself will undoubtedly cause many to wonder about his claims concerning doctrinal stability. The New York Times gave this startling report in an article which begins on the first page of the issue dated May 3, 1990: The Mormon Church has changed some of its most sacred rituals, eliminating parts of the largely secret ceremonies that President Ezra Taft Benson have been viewed as offensive to women and to members of some other faiths. “Because the temple ceremony is sacred to us, we don’t Last month the church . quietly dropped from its speak about it except in the most general terms,” said Beverly temple rituals a vow in which women pledged obedience to Campbell, the East Coast director for public communications their husbands .

The Great Christian Doctrine: Original Sin
The Great Christian Doctrine: Original Sin By Paul Helm September 1, 2004: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-great-christian-doctrine This article appears as a chapter in A God-Entranced Vision of All Things. Piper, John and Justin Taylor. A God Entranced Vision of All Things: The Legacy of Jonathan Edwards. Wheaton: Crossway, 2004. 290 pages. This book can be purchased for $25.00 on Amazon.ca Introduction Jonathan Edwards was a tense, highly focused, and very intelligent man, a person of many parts. Ambitious too, while reserved and austere, as he himself recognized. Not just a preacher and revivalist, as he has come to be known to us through evangelical tradition, but a theologian, a philosopher, and a scientist. Part of the romance — or tragedy — of Edwards’s life is that he took it upon himself to play radically different roles at one and the same time. But he seems to have played each of these roles with characteristic thoroughness and commitment. So it was at Stockbridge (where he moved in 1751) during the years in which he composed The Great Christian Doctrine of Original Sin (page references provided in the main text are to volume 3 of The Works of Jonathan Edwards, [Yale University Press, 1970]) At the same time that he was still feuding with people from the Northampton church from which he had recently (in 1750) been dismissed, he was preaching to the Indians and fearfully preparing for war with other Indians (for a time Stockbridge became a stockade), while at the same time attempting to gain their confidence.

Handout 2: Saints Sacrificed to Help Each Other Receive the Endowment
LATTER-DAY SAINT HISTORY: 1815–1846 TEACHER MATERIAL—LESSON 28: THE SAINTS COMPLETE THE NAUVOO TEMPLE, AND MANY SAINTS ARE ENDOWED AND SEALED Handout 2: Saints Sacrificed to Help Each Other Receive the Endowment On November 30, 1845, Brigham Young dedicated the attic of the Nauvoo Temple, and on December 10, 1845, temple endowments began to be administered. Erastus Snow recalled: “On the twelfth of December, myself and [my] wife, Artimesia, received the first ordinance of endowments, and were called to labor and administer in the temple from that time forth; and I departed not from the temple, day or night, but continued in the labors and duties thereof—with the twelve and others selected for this purpose—about six weeks. Mrs Snow continued . about a month” (“From Nauvoo to Salt Lake in the Van of the Pioneers: The Original Diary of Erastus Snow,” ed. Moroni Snow, Improvement Era, Feb. 1911, 285). Elizabeth Ann Whitney wrote: “I gave myself, my time and attention to that mission. I worked in the Temple every day without cessation until it was closed” (“A Leaf from an Autobiography,” Woman’s Exponent, Feb. 15, 1879, 191). Mercy Fielding Thompson recorded that she “was called by President Young to take up my abode there [in the temple] to assist in the female department, which I did, laboring night and day, keeping my child with me” (in Matthew S. McBride, A House for the Most High: The Story of the Original Nauvoo Temple [2007], 285). President Brigham Young recalled: “Such was the anxiety manifested by the Saints to receive the ordinances of endowments, and no less on our part to have them [receive them], that I gave myself up entirely to the work of the Lord in the Temple.

'NOT to BE RITEN': the MORMON TEMPLE RITE AS ORAL CANON Kathleen Flake Abstract the Manner in Which the LDS Church Administers I
'NOT TO BE RITEN': THE MORMON TEMPLE RITE AS ORAL CANON Kathleen Flake Abstract The manner in which the LDS Church administers its temple rite constitutes a strategic use of the conventions of an oral tradition in a modern, literate society. Three effects of this strategy are con- sidered. First, refusing to make a text of the rite available and in- sisting that its specific content not be revealed or otherwise sub- jected to discursive thought sustains the rite's canonical authority as immutable truth, notwithstanding its periodic mutation. Secondly, the conventions of oral tradition structure the relation- ships created by the ritual and constitute a principal means by which the Church's historic separatism is maintained. Finally, these conventions when applied to the temple rite maximize ritu- al's capacity to adapt the canon to the needs of successive genera- tions of the faithful while minimizing skepticism and schism. By letter of June, 1842, one of Joseph Smith's closest associates in the for- mative days of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("LDS Church" or "the LDS") writes to another of the newly-received temple ceremony: I wish you was here so as to feel and hear for your Self, we have recieved some pressious things through the Prophet...that would cause your soul to rejoice I can not give them to you on paper fore they are not to be riten. (Heber C. Kimball to Parley P. Pratt, Gregory Prince [n.d.:39]). In the ensuing one hundred and fifty years, the LDS Church has not wavered from its earliest insistence that its temple rite is "not to be riten," but only to be experienced by the faithful who "feel and hear for" them- selves by participating in the ritual.
