In order to be born again to a spiritual life, people must have faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ, repent of their sins, and be baptized in water for the remission of their sins. Then—and not until then—can they be baptized with the Holy Ghost and be sanctified from their sins. This gift of the Holy Ghost is given only by the laying on of hands by those who have the proper authority, and it is given only to those who have been previously baptized of water … All four steps are necessary in order for people to be cleansed or sanctified from their sins and to be found worthy to regain the presence of God. Therefore, the Savior meant exactly what he said to Nicodemus: “Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5)Share
