Summary

In Mosiah 18, Nephites living in King Noah's territory who want to listen to Alma's secret preaching gather to a place called the waters of Mormon.^[1] In the process of this preaching, Alma proceeds to invite the listeners to be baptized.^[2] Two hundred and four people are baptized, and Alma establishes a church.^[1]

Later in the Book of Mormon, Mosiah 5, Alma's son, also named Alma, gives a sermon in which he recapitulates the history of the Nephite church and tells his audience the baptisms in the waters of Mormon.^[3]
