"Let Us Go On unto Perfection"

Hebrews 6:1; 1. The doctrine of Christ] The whole gospel plan, the whole system of salvation, the total arrangement whereby man can gain perfection and be like God is five things:1. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; 2. Repentance; 3. Baptism; 4. Receiving the Holy Ghost; and 5. Enduring in righteousness and devotion to the end. After setting this forth in detail, with especial emphasis upon pressing forward in steadfastness and devotion after baptism, Nephi says: "And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." (2 Nephi 31:21.)

Hebrews 6:1; Let us go on unto perfection] The goals of the saints are, finite perfection here and now, and infinite perfection in the mansions on high. See Commentary I, pp. 231-232.

Hebrews 6:2; 2. Baptisms] Of water and of the Spirit.
