  • “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.

  • Joseph Smith's Lessons on Leadership
    Education Week 2015 Prepare for “Joseph Smith’s Lessons on Leadership” Taught by Robert Spiel Retrieved from: http://josephsmith.net/article/leading-with-love?lang=eng Introduction Joseph Smith was a remarkable leader. He served as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; mayor of Nauvoo, one of the largest cities in Illinois; lieutenant-general of the Nauvoo Legion; and in 1844 he was a candidate for President of the United States. What set Joseph Smith apart from other dynamic leaders was the source of his teachings: the God of Heaven. "The best way to obtain truth 1 and wisdom," he taught, "is not to ask it from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching." 2 Joseph led with love. He recognized the worth of every soul as a child of God. When asked why so many followed him, he replied: "It is because I possess the principle of love. All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand." 3 The Prophet refused to place himself above others. Rather, as he humbly said, "I love to wait upon the Saints, and be a servant to all, hoping that I may be exalted in the due time of the Lord." 4 Bereft of pride, 5 Joseph personified the Lord's counsel: "Whosoever will be great among you, . shall be servant of all." 6 Joseph Smith Quotes Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin as to take them by the hand, and watch over them with tenderness.
