Question: Is priesthood authority not needed to perform baptisms?
The scriptures and Joseph Smith repeatedly teach that an authorized priesthood holder is necessary for ordinances, including baptism
- A man can do nothing for himself unless God direct him in the right way; and the priesthood is for that purpose.[1]
