4th Article of Faith Song

Can't miss out on using 1,2,3,and 4 as the central theme of this song.  We are going to use the following movement:

We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are:  Stand Still

First:  Extend 1 finger

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ:  Point heavenward on the phrase beginning "Lord"

Second:  Extend 2 fingers

Repentance:  Since repentance is a change or turning around we will extend both hand palms forward on the second syllable "pent" and then turn the hands around, palms facing yourself on the "ance".

Third:  Extend 3 fingers

Baptism by immersion:  arm is brought forward bent at elbow with hand pointing upward, palm facing sideways (the other hand is under the elbow giving support).  Then on the word immersion the arm rotates sideways at the elbow downward and then upward to represent immersion.

for the remission of sins:  since remission wipes away our sins, both arms are crossed and sweep outward to designate the wiping away of sins

Fourth:  Extend 4 fingers

Laying on of hands:  both hands are set on head

for the gift of the Holy Ghost.  Just keep hands on head the whole time.
