Benjamin Brown's Vision of Two Nephite Apostles

“As I found it stated that the three Nephites had power to show themselves to any persons they might wish, Jews or Gentiles, I asked the Lord to allow me to see them for a witness and testimony of the truth of the Book of Mormon, and I covenanted with him, if he complied with my request, that I would preach it even at the expense of my life, should it be necessary. I had not long to wait for an answer. One day, while I was at work, two men came to me. They were dressed as I should think, any other men would be dressed, so that I could not tell them from any other men, except through the influence of the Spirit. They commenced a conversation with each other, and made remarks to me respecting the gospel and the work of God, which I knew were true, and which I felt were of the Lord. One spoke to me for some time, and reproved me sharply on account of my behavior at the time when I first attended the meeting of the Saints, and treated so lightly the gift of tongues. This personage spoke in the Nephite language, but I understood, by the Spirit which accompanied him, every word as plainly as if he had spoken in English. How these men went, I do not know, but directly they were gone, the Spirit of the Lord said to me, "Now, you know for yourself! If you now fall away, there is no forgiveness for you." Surely I did, and I do now, as surely as I know that I live.”
