D&C 112:29 · 3 Nephi 11:34
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
The believe-and-be-baptized formula runs through the corpus in a short and a long form, and the distribution is the whole ground of this pairing. The short form, whose negative half names belief only, stands at four verses in words identical apart from conjunctions: Mark 16:16, Mormon 9:23, Ether 4:18, and D&C 68:9 (that last paired with Mark at w6-dc68-believeth-baptized-mark16). Because those four are verbally interchangeable, none stands nearer to D&C 112:29 than the others. What breaks the tie is the clause 'and is not baptized', which none of the four carries and which 3 Nephi 11:34 carries exactly - these two are the corpus's only verses naming baptism on both sides of the sentence. Divergences reported: the record's verse names the object of belief ('believeth not in me') where the revelation does not, and the record splits the positive half into its own verse, 3 Nephi 11:33, where the revelation compresses both halves into one. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
