  GIFTS AND PROMISES OF THE PRIESTHOOD P4 of CH5 of Holy Priesthood Volume 1  Decrease of Spiritual Gifts Commenting on the gifts of the Gospel, Joseph Smith said: . . . by quoting the commission given to the ancient Apostles in Mark, 16th chapter, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th verses, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” No matter who believeth, these signs, such as healing the sick, casting out devils, etc., should follow all that believe, whether male or female.
