This quote is from Abinadi. He seems to be making the prophets, and all those that have believed in their words, equivalent to "all those that have kept the commandments of God," and they are the first resurrection.Mosiah 15:22 And now, the resurrection of all the prophets, and all those that have believed in their words, or all those that have kept the commandments of God, shall come forth in the first resurrection; therefore, they are the first resurrection.
It seems that to Abinadi, believing in the words of the prophets means obeying their words inasmuch as their words are the commandments of God. Apparently only the commandments of God matter to Abinadi, so if a prophet speaks something other than the commandments of God, their words don't matter (obedience thereto not required).
So:
1. Does believing in the words of the prophets mean obeying their words?
2. And if one does not obey their words, then one does not believe their words?
Abinadi had this to say also.
So, if one knows the commandments of God, and will not keep them, and dies in one's sins - and, remember, James 2:10 says that to offend in one point is to be guilty of the whole law (and James 2:9 says applying double standards to people is such an offense) - then one has no part in the first resurrection, and cannot be redeemed.Mosiah 15:26-27
26 But behold, and fear, and tremble before God, for ye ought to tremble; for the Lord redeemeth none such that rebel against him and die in their sins; yea, even all those that have perished in their sins ever since the world began, that have wilfully rebelled against God, that have known the commandments of God, and would not keep them; these are they that have no part in the first resurrection.
27 Therefore ought ye not to tremble? For salvation cometh to none such; for the Lord hath redeemed none such; yea, neither can the Lord redeem such; for he cannot deny himself; for he cannot deny justice when it has its claim.
3. Do you agree that if we do not obey all the commandments of God which come by the words of the prophets that we cannot be redeemed and shall not merit the first resurrection?
4. Do you agree that if we obey all the commandments of God which come by the words of the prophets that we will merit the first resurrection?
