When we are willing to take His name upon us, that could mean that we're willing to act as He would act. That means giving all that we have, or consecration. <BR/><BR/>I agree that it also means you are willing to keep moving forward, that you'll take what you've learned and continue to apply it toward returning to Him.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522246792771832214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757705433187574833.post-51817422762539626802009-03-11T17:56:00.000-06:002009-03-11T17:56:00.000-06:00I believe it is simply that when you are baptized ...I believe it is simply that when you are baptized you promise that you <B>WILL</B> take His name upon you. As you continue your gospel progression and journey, the first gate of baptism, leads to the gate of the temple. It is in the temple that you receive His name.<BR/>IMHO The willingness to take His name upon you at Baptism is simply the promise or covenant you make to keep moving forward. <BR/>This is one of my most favorite talks by Elder Oaks, great choice to study.In The Doghousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168341244739209780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757705433187574833.post-91001038903764829972009-03-11T14:44:00.000-06:002009-03-11T14:44:00.000-06:00This is cool stuff.

I'm going to have to read and study it a little more, but I've always thought that this concept is closely tied to having "his image in your countenance."

You figuratively wear his name and look the part.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486223394459963669noreply@blogger.com
