Can you make it to the Celestial kingdom without these ordinances performed by or for you?
Who is ignorant? Who is lying?


Mormons teach that baptism and accepting Christ as their Saviour is what is required, not the ceremonies you were referring to. Mormons believe that it is important to keep God’s commandments because they are God’s commandments. But Mormons believe we are saved by grace after all that we might do.

What is the Celestial Kingdom. What ordinances must be performed for someone to get there?

GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Salvation for the Dead
See also Book of Remembrance; Genealogy; Plan of Redemption; Salvation
The opportunity for those who have died without receiving the saving ordinances of the gospel to have these ordinances performed for them in temples by worthy living members of the Church. The dead are taught the gospel in the spirit world and may accept the ordinances performed for them in mortality.
Faithful members of the Church research and prepare family histories to determine the names and birth dates of ancestors so that the saving ordinances may be performed for them.

You aren’t being entirely truthful are you, billy?
