Moroni moves to the next important question: what happens after baptism?
The person who has been baptized is “numbered among the people of the church of Christ.” This means that they have entered into the community of Christ. They are considered part of that community, and are partakers of communal benefits and obligations. What is interesting is that entry into the church of the newly baptized is characterized by the obligations of those who are in the church already. The newly baptized are to be cared for “that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ.”
