Rebellion is a good thing. In fact, the spirt of punk is about the spirit of rebellion. Unfortunately, people in 2018 don't really understand what rebellion is. Rebellion is simply going against what is popular. Mosiah didn't know that in our modern times, true rebellion would be obeying God, since no one seems to want to obey him today. Rebellion isn't always a good thing, and rebellion against God is something you probably want to avoid.
This passage says something interesting though. "Wo to those that know that he rebels against God." While it's fairly easy to find out what the word of God is in this time, not everyone agrees that this or that is the word of God. Ask yourself this-would a Catholic agree that the Book of Mormon is the word of God? Of course not. Would a Baptist say that the pope speaks the Word of God? Of course not.
You can't always know that you are rebelling against the word of God. Yes, sometimes you can, but not always. Rebelling against the word of God when you aren't sure what His word is isn't really rebellion.
