This connection's citations are checked against the source text.

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.

Book of Mormon Mosiah 27:25
"must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 5:2
"the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts"

The only shared lexeme is 'change' / 'changed' - no distinctive shared phrase, so thematic/interpretive. The thematic case: the rising generation 'could not understand the words of king Benjamin' (26:1); the Lord's word through Alma universalizes the change Benjamin's people experienced. Supporting contact: Mosiah 5:7 'ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters' vs 27:25 'becoming his sons and daughters'.
