We begin the process of being born again
through exercising faith in Christ, repenting of our sins,
and being baptized by immersion for the remission of sins
by one having priesthood authority.
Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death.
That like as Christ was raised up from the dead
by the glory of the father, even so we also
should walk in newness of life.
And after we come out of the waters of baptism,
our souls need to be continuously immersed
in and saturated with the truth and the light of the savior's
gospel.
Sporadic and shallow dipping in the doctrine of Christ,
and partial participation in his restored church,
cannot produce the spiritual transformation that enables us
to walk in a newness of life.
Rather fidelity to covenants, constancy of commitment,
and offering our whole soul unto God
are required if we are to receive
the blessings of eternity.
Total immersion in and saturation with the Savior's
gospel are essential steps in the process
of being born again.
