As the morning light of the Restoration broke forth upon the earth and the dark shadows of the Apostasy fled, the doctrines of the holy priesthood began to distill upon the first souls in the early Church “as the dews from heaven” (D&C 121:45).
After a person hath faith in Christ, repents of his sins, is baptized for the remission of his sins, and received the Holy Ghost (by the laying on of hands), which is the first Comforter, then let him continue to humble himself before God, hungering and thirsting after righteousness and living by every word of God. Thus, to make our calling and election sure is to receive a guarantee of exaltation in the celestial kingdom. LDS Talks. These talks, essays and articles are the most discussed documents in the Mormon Internet community.

Index to This Page: Introduction Perhaps no other doctrine in early Christianity and in modern Latter-day Saint theology is more controversial and more misunderstood today than the doctrine that humans have divine potential.
Vicious books and movies like "The God Makers" claim that Latter-day Saints deny the divinity of Christ and try to make ourselves into Gods, robbing the Father of His glory.
