So, Blaine, you don't believe that God was once a man and that we may assume His status one day? Even if it wasn't voted in as doctrine, do some Mormons believe this?
Blessings!

In several other cases, a sustaining vote did happen, as for instance, the doctrine that little children who die before reaching the age of accountability inherit the Kingdom of God. This doctrine now appears in the D&C, for the simple reason it was voted upon and sustained. MANY so-called "doctrines of the LDS Church" do not have this status. Another of these is the doctrine that men may become Gods and populate other worlds. Although it is widely believed, it is not in any standard work, nor has it been sustained as an official doctrine by the general membership. As I said, Kevin, Elvis died--trying to prove he is still alive is a lost cause, and only makes sense if you have some psycho/emotional investment in believing he lives on. :>)
