Shared words: take upon you the name of Christ

Second-person 'take upon you the name of Christ' occurs at five places corpus-wide: 2 Nephi 31:13, Mosiah 5:8, Alma 34:38, 3 Nephi 27:5, Mormon 8:38. The wider take-upon-the-name formula stands at twenty verses: 2 Nephi 31:13; Mosiah 5:8, 5:10, 6:2, 25:12, 25:23; Alma 1:19, 24:1, 34:38, 46:15, 46:18, 46:21, 51:6; Helaman 11:24; 3 Nephi 27:5; 3 Nephi 27:6 'whoso taketh upon him my name'; 4 Nephi 1:20 'taken upon them the name of Lamanites'; Mormon 8:38; and the two Moroni church-order legs — Moroni 4:3 ('willing to take upon them the name of thy Son', the fixed sacrament prayer) and Moroni 6:3 ('took upon them the name of Christ', the baptism intake rule). The second-person count of five is unchanged (Moroni's two are third-person). Difference reported as fact on page: 31:13 takes the name by baptism; Mosiah 5-6 by spoken covenant and written register (6:1-2), no baptism in the assembly account (a search finds no bapti- stem in Mosiah 1-6).
