48 Yea, and they were baptized in the waters of Mormon, and were filled with the grace of God:

49 And they were called the church of God, or the church of Christ, from that time forward.

50 And it came to pass that whosoever was baptized by the power and authority of God, was added to his church.

51 And it came to pass that Alma, having authority from God, ordained priests; even one priest to every fifty of their number did he ordain to preach unto them, and to teach them concerning the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

52 And he commanded them that they should teach nothing save it were the things which he had taught, and which had been spoken by the mouth of the holy prophets.

53 Yea, even he commanded them that they should preach nothing save it were repentance and faith on the Lord, who had redeemed his people.

54 And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism; having their hearts knit together in unity and in love, one towards another.

55 And thus he commanded them to preach. And thus they became the children of God.

56 And he commanded them that they should observe the Sabbath day, and keep it holy, and also every day they should give thanks to the Lord their God.

57 And he also commanded them that the priests, whom he had ordained, should labor with their own hands for their support;

58 And there was one day in every week that was set apart that they should gather themselves together to teach the people, and to worship the Lord their God, and also as often as it was in their power, to assemble themselves together.
