There is nothing in the recorded preaching of Alma that directly supports Noah's contention that Alma was stirring up rebellion. Nevertheless, it was true in that what Alma preached was antithetical to the religious and political order of Noah and his priests. Even had Alma not preached open rebellion, the teachings themselves would have caused a schism, and some type of rebellion was inevitable. At this point, the only "rebellion" was the removal of some of Noah's people from Lehi-Nephi to Mormon as converts to the church.
