PREPARING INVESTIGATORS FOR BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION

AS INVESTIGATORS COME UNTO CHRIST AND PREPARE TO BECOME CHURCH MEMBERS, THEY MUST UNDERSTAND THE COVENANTS ASSOCIATED WITH SAVING ORDINANCES AND BE WILLING TO MAKE AND KEEP SACRED OBLIGATIONS

D&C 20: 37

• Those who desire baptism shall be recieved by baptism into His church
• Those who come forth with a broken heart and a contrite spirit shall be baptized

D&C 45:9

• "every person who belongeth to the church of Christ, shall observe to keep all the commandments and covenants of the church."
• So that means every person who is preparing to become a member of the church and be baptized needs to keep all the commandments too if they want to be baptized and become a member of the church.
