3 And by the prayer of your faith ye shall receive my law, that ye may know how to govern my church and have all things right before me.
Here's a commandment for the chuch:
Gather together and agree about my word.
4 And I will be your ruler when I come; and behold, I come quickly, and ye shall see that my law is kept.

5 He that receiveth my law and doeth it, the same is my disciple; and he that saith he receiveth it and doeth it not, the same is not my disciple, and shall be cast out from among you;
Expel anyone who refuses to obey my law.
6 For it is not meet that the things which belong to the children of the kingdom should be given to them that are not worthy, or to dogs, or the pearls to be cast before swine.

Here's another commandment for you:
Make Edward Partridge a bishop

Amen.
