“The Holy Spirit of Promise”
Doctrine and Covenants 88:3–5
3 Wherefore, I now send upon you another Comforter, even upon you my friends, that it may abide in your hearts, even the Holy Spirit of promise; which other Comforter is the same that I promised unto my disciples, as is recorded in the testimony of John.
4 This Comforter is the promise which I give unto you of eternal life, even the glory of the celestial kingdom;
5 Which glory is that of the church of the Firstborn, even of God, the holiest of all, through Jesus Christ his Son
President Joseph Fielding Smith said:
“The Holy Spirit of Promise is not the Second Comforter. The Holy Spirit of Promise is the Holy Ghost who places the stamp of approval upon every ordinance that is done righteously [see D&C 132:7]; and when covenants are broken He removes the seal.”
(Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1954–56], 1:55.)
