1 Nephi 11:5

5  And I said: Yea, thou knowest that I abelieve all the words of my father.
            -Nephi even seems a bit bewildered at this basic question.  He declares that the Spirit already knows of his stance and the answer to the question.  It is almost to say, “that is a silly question, you know that I do.”  This is reminiscent of the Savior’s questions to Peter, “Do you love me?” that were repeated three times.  Clearly there is something deeper in the asking of the question than just the answer.
