This page is based on an answer to a question submitted to the FAIR web site, or a frequently asked question.
Is there progression between the three degrees of glory?
There is no official pronouncement on this question. Some leaders of the Church have, however, expressed deep skepticism about this idea.
Elder Bruce. R. McConkie made it one of his "Seven Deadly Heresies," concluding:
A major scriptural argument against this idea comes from the Doctrine and Covenants, speaking of the telestial kingdom:
This seems to suggest that for telestial residents, at least, there can be no advancement to terrestrial or celestial.
There is a further reference to the eternal state of those who do not reach a full celestial glory:
This scripture again seems to state that there can be no further progression for those who have not accepted all the necessary ordinances and covenants.
