Does faith in Christ mean no fear of death? Alma 27:28
Ammon's converts are called by this really long name: the Anti-Nephi-Lehites. They are about to be attacked by the Amalekites. The Lord commands Ammon to lead the Anit-Nephi-Lehites out of there to safety, because they made a covenant to never again raise up their swords, not even in self-defense. They had made a covenant to avoid bloodshed, and it was going to be to their own destruction except that Ammon leads them away to join with the Nephites, who give them an entire section of their land to live on.
The reason why these people covenanted with God to avoid raising up arms was because they were completely disgusted with themselves for having done so in the past, and also because, "they never did look upon death with any degree of terror, for their hope and views of Christ and the resurrection; therefore death was swallowed up to them by the victory of Christ over it." They would rather suffer the most obscene, painful, hideous death than cause somebody else harm by their own hand.
Answer:
Yes.
