Doctrine and Covenants — Revelation to Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon…
“ Behold thou wast sent forth, even as John, to prepare the way before me, and before Elijah which should come, and thou knewest it not.5 Thou didst baptize by water unto repentance, but they received not the Holy Ghost;6 But now I give unto thee a commandment, that thou shalt baptize by water, and they shall receive the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, even as the apostles of old.7 And it shall come to pass that there shall be a great work in the land, even among the Gentiles, for their folly and their abominations shall be made manifest in the eyes of all people. ”
