After
a person has faith in Christ, repents of his sins, and is baptized for
the remission of his sins and receives the Holy Ghost, (by the laying
on of hands)...then let him continue to humble himself before God, hungering
and thirsting after righteousness, and living by every word of God,
and the Lord will soon say unto him, Son, thou shalt be exalted. When
the Lord has thoroughly proved him, and finds that the man is determined
to serve Him at all hazards, then the man will find his calling and
election made sure, then it will be his privilege to receive the other
comforter, which the Lord hath promised the Saints, as is recorded in
the testimony of St. John
