This paper will analyze the teachings of the Doctrine and Covenants on the conversion process in eight important areas:
the missionary the investigator the missionary message preparation, qualifications, and methods of missionaries and missionary work spiritual assistance in the conversion process the actual process of conversion blessings to missionaries the results of rejection
Over seventy sections and just under four hundred verses of the Doctrine and Covenants focus directly on these eight areas of gospel teaching, some on several of them, while many other sections and verses are closely related to missionary work. As they are interpreted by our living prophets, these revelations provide the most comprehensive guide to the conversion process we have in the Church today. [From the text]
