In my opinion, Moroni 8:25-26 is one of the best descriptions of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's resonant even disconnected from the child baptism thing and I hope teachers make room for it in this lesson--maybe shortening the child baptism discussion to do so. It describes the gospel as a chain reaction and lifelong process and often gets overlooked in lieu of other gospel-defining passages in, say, 2 Nephi 31 or 3 Nephi 27.
I'm a new teacher and am slowly learning how teenagers think/respond, so thank you for your insights on getting them talking. I'm kind of surprised to hear that they might not have an answer ready about infant baptism! Mormon's stance seems like such a well-known doctrinal position that members really cling to.
@joshuachandler4292 I don't think it's necessarily that they don't know. It seems like it's usually social inhibitions or insecurities that hold them back rather than a lack of understanding.
