"Mormon" Doctrine Plain and Simple; Or, Leaves from the Tree of Life
Penrose, Charles W. (Charles William)
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- Doctrines; Latter Day Saint churches -- Doctrines
Those who were not numbered with the Saints of God in the flesh, but
who received the gospel in the spirit; the good and honorable who were
led astray by the designing; the class not fitted for the crowning
glory of the celestial world nor worthy of the doom of the wicked,
will also receive their portion. They will not attain to the gifts of
increase and dominion and the fullness of the highest, but will enter
into their rest, which shall be glorious. And though they reach not
to the Father's fullness, they will receive the visits of the Son and
of His associates in the celestial world, and enjoy rich blessings
unspeakable in their greatness and perpetuity. They inherit the
terrestrial glory.
Those who were cast down to the depths for their sins, who rejected the
gospel of Jesus, who persecuted the saints, who reveled in iniquity,
who committed all manner of transgressions except the unpardonable
crime, will also come forth in the Lord's time, through the blood of
the Lamb and the ministry of His disciples and their own repentance and
willing acceptance of divine law, and enter into the various degrees of
glory and power and progress and light, according to their different
capacities and adaptabilities. They cannot go up into the society
of the Father nor receive of the presence of the Son, but will have
ministrations of messengers from the terrestrial world, and have joy
beyond all expectation and the conception of uninspired mortal minds.
They will all bow the knee to Christ and serve God the Father, and have
an eternity of usefulness and happiness in harmony with the higher
powers. They receive the telestial glory.
