Here is Yahweh’s conclusion: Those who will not repent are not numbered with the church and are not part of Yahweh’s covenant although they may still be part of the community. With the removal of the covenant from the community, those who do not repent are members of the community only and can no longer inherit the covenant.
Alma learns that there is a real division between the church and the rest of the community. While all may be under Mosiah’s rule, only those who accept the Atoning Messiah are part of the church and part of the covenant with Yahweh.
