Hey, that’s alright, I’m still waiting for restornu to show me the scriptural reference(s) outlining the temple rites and how they are essential for salvation (not exaltation)...
***
I never said that I would outline the rite don’t get carried away with yourself...
and never said how they are essential for salvation all are saved my friend where one will reside is the question??
In one of the 3 degrees of glory or outer darkness...
John 14:2
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
What I was looking for was why it is important and seems you really are not that serious.
Why then, is it essential to promote and conduct proxy baptisms for the dead in the mormon temples if the rituals aren’t essential for salvation? According to mormon teachings, baptisms for the dead must be accomplished so that they can be “taught” the gospel while in the spirit prison, giving them a second chance at salvation.
This is why so much emphasis on geneaology, tithing and temple recommends is placed on the members. The geneaology thing is even spoken of in the Bible...says not to, you don’t have the time to waste on the dead...their judgement is coming, regardless of what you may try to do here on earth for them.
So what you’re saying then is that since the LdS temple rites don’t exist in any scripture that they are man made rituals...traditions of men...
One of the primary reasons I left mormonism...
Just think:
