  • ·      If you’re a good Mormon in your lifetime you can become a God in the afterlife such as a God of the sea.
  • ·      There are 3 separate gods (The Father, The Son, and Holy Ghost)
  • ·      That there are three levels of Heaven (The Terrestrial, Telestial, and Celestial Heavens)
  • ·      If it had not been for Joseph Smith Jr. the founder of Mormonism there would be no salvation
  • ·      We all were first spirits in heaven then born on earth
  • ·      Good works are necessary for salvation such as volunteering and missionary works.
  • ·      Jesus sacrifice (Crucification) was not enough to cleanse us all (murders and repeated adulterers are exceptions)
