Why would he make such a statement if they didn't have authority to perform this ordinance which is clearly part of the Law of Moses under the Aaronic Priesthood.


I am left to conclude, then that baptism was common among King Benjamin's people. Probably, all the people were baptized at the age of eight as part of the culture. Why, then, did they need to enter into a new covenant? First they state they are willing to take the name of Christ upon them, then King Benjamin gives them the name of Christ as a people, and they become Christians. (As suggested, I will start a new post about Taking the Name of Christ)
