Formulas in the Book of Mormon

2 Nephi 31:13
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism—yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.


So-
follow the Son
+
full purpose of heart
+
acting no hypocrisy
+
no deception before God
+
real intent
+
repenting of your sins
+
being baptized
=
RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST,
SPEAK WITH THE TONGUE OF ANGELS

2 Nephi 31:20
Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.


press forward with a steadfastness in Christ
+
perfect brightness of hope
+
love of God and all men
+
another dose of pressing forward
+
feasting upon the word of Christ
+
endure to the end
=
YE SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE


Moroni 10:4

And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.


When you receive these things:

Ask God in the name of Christ, if these things are not true
+
ask with a sincere heart
+
real intent
+
having faith in Christ

God will manifest the truth of it unto you.
