Progression from Telestial Kingdom
If we know we can progress from the Telestial Kingdom to the Terrestrial or Celestial and we know we can be sealed for all Eternity in the Telestial Kingdom, why do some think that's not possible in the Terrestrial Kingdom?

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
Where does it say you can progress from the telestial into the terrestrial or celestial? Who says you can be sealed in the telestial?

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
You are not actually sealed TO your wife. You are married to her, and you have had the blessings of Abraham Isaac and Jacob sealed upon each of you, and this is contingent upon your righteousness, of course. And then there is the Holy Spirit of Promise.....HappyCamper8 wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 1:25 pm The prophet. I was sealed to my wife in the temple.
The sealing ordinance of children to parents actually seals the children into the family unit. The marriage sealing ordinance does not say this. We all assume it does, but go do some proxy sealings, and listen carefully.

Also, any sealing ordinances done here on Earth are not valid in the eternities unless the person is worthy of the Celestial Kingdom, where the Family of Christ will reside.

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
False doctrine the LDS church is celestial as well as all the ordinances of salvation baptism receiving the HG and temple endowment and sealing. What is bound in earth is bound in heaven. Living in a telestrial world does not make any of the ordinances or commandments telestrial or terrestrial. Although we live in a telestrial state we are to live a celestial law.HappyCamper8 wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 1:25 pm The prophet. I was sealed to my wife in the temple.
This is a new worrying trend of false doctrine -the church is telestrial etc... and we are not given what is required to be saved.
When we die and the time of our resurrection comes we are resurrected with bodies celestial, telestrial or terrestrial - that is the final state of our bodies never to be acted upon again..
D&C 78:14 That through my providence, notwithstanding the tribulation which shall descend upon you, that the church may stand independent above all other creatures beneath the celestial world;

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
All the ordinances of salvation have to take place in mortality - the scriptures teach there is no marriage given in heaven. We are indeed sealed for time and all eternity on earth that is in force in the life to come.Lizzy60 wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 1:31 pmYou are not actually sealed TO your wife.

Here in England we are not permitted by law to legally marry in the temple. So we get married in the church or wherever, and go to the temple to be sealed.

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
HappyCamper8, let's see if I understand your reasoning correctly:
You are saying that since we now live in a telestial world and can later get into terrestrial or celestial kingdom, this implies that one can progress from telestial kingdom to a higher kingdom.
I think the problem is that even though we call this world where we live during our mortal probation telestial, it is not the Telestial kingdom. The Telestial kingdom is something much better than this mortal world:

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
Got it. I should have said united to my wife instead of sealed. Husband and wife are united when sealed in the temple as are children and parents. But still, not sure why people think that can't be done in the Terrestrial kingdom. Thanks.Lizzy60 wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 1:31 pmYou are not actually sealed TO your wife.

There is a part in the temple ceremony where it is announced that the lone and dreary world that we are now in is the telestial kingdom.
I would just like to know what we did to wind up here.

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
I disagree with your interpretation. I admit that we sometimes use the adjective telestial, when we refer to this world (as Holland did), but this world is not the telestial kingdom. Let me quote the same passage again, this time I include the next verse too:HappyCamper8 wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 2:00 pmNot true according to Elder Holland in general conference last October.inho wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 1:58 pm HappyCamper8, let's see if I understand your reasoning correctly:

One has to live a higher law than terrestrial in order to be worth to enter the temple and receive the sealing ordinances it cant be done under a terrestrial law.

I chose to follow the current brethren and not interpretations of people online. Those who say we are not in the telestial kingdom are saying so directly against an apostle.

Re: Progression from Telestial Kingdom
Exactly now you have figured it out. Christ came down to this earth in its fallen state and lived a perfect law - He lived celestial.

During the millennium the earth will be terrestrial but Christ will live personally on the earth - what law will he be living.
The temple is represents Gods house on earth ie celestial not any other kingdom and the ordinances thereof are celestial.
