Discourse, 16 May 1841, as Reported by William Clayton

There are three independent principles— the spirit of God, the spirit of man, and the spirit of the devil. All men have power to resist the devil.

The doctrine of eternal judgment Acts 2— 41 Peter preached repent and be in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, &c; but in Acts 3— 19 he says "Repent and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the time of redemption shall come and he shall send Jesus," &c. Remission of sins by baptism was not to be preached to murderers. All the priests in Christendom might pray for a murderer on the scaffold forever, but could not avail so much as a gnat [p. 9]
