During this time, people changed many gospel teachings. People also changed priesthood ordinances, such as baptism. Priesthood authority and the Church that Jesus had established were no longer on the earth.

False
What 4 promises do we make at baptism
be willing to take upon us the name of Christ, keep the commandments, serve God and others, & endure to the end
Why is it important that we extend invitations and commitments to those we teach?
Keeping commitments prepares people to make and keep sacred covenants.
They help people live the principles they learn so they feel the confirming witness of the Spirit.
Keeping commitments is one way people demonstrate repentance (see Doctrine and Covenants 20:37).
Repentance helps people experience the peace and joy of God’s forgiveness. They will also have increased help from God for their challenges.
You can show your love for people and your faith in God’s promises by helping people keep their commitments.
