Blainer) Glenn, DaveH is too nice to you. I am telling you the truth--you are going to hell if you do not A. Allow Mormon missionaries into your house, plus feed them and offer them your car to drive around, B. Read twenty pages from the BoM nightly, C. Attend a Mormon meeting in the near future, D. Send me twenty bucks for telling you the truth.
Just kidding (:>) Seriously, DaveH was right, you ARE a brother in Christ, and you will probably not go to hell at all provided you remain on the straight and narrow path you seem to have chosen. You seem to be an honorable and decent person. You will likely "receive of the presence of the Son," just as you expect. But you may miss "the fullness of the Father." I am trying not to be judgemental--this is not Mormon spin. I believe this. Here is the scripture I am basing this on--it is about those who come forth in the resurrection of the Just, who are Christ's at his coming: "These are they who were honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men." "These are they who receive of His glory, but not of His fulness." "These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fullness of the Father." "Wherefore, they are bodies Terrestrial, and not bodies Celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun." Docrine and Covenants Section 76:75-78 I think "craftiness" refers to the spin of the "Bible-is-the-only-word-of-God" crowd, who tell you the BoM is a bust and the Mormon church is a cult . There is a third category of reward--the Telestial Kingdom, the glory of which is represented by the stars--and just as one star differs from another in glory, so shall the inhabitants of this kingdom differ in glory one from another. But the BIG difference is that they must pay their dues in Hell first, before becoming resurrected. These are the very, very wicked, as in murderers, adulterers, whoremongers, liars, etc. Those who inherit the upper two kingdoms (Terrestrial and Celestial) do not have to do this--go to hell, that is-- because of their acceptance of Christ as their savior.
