In post 438 you said “Did you know eternal life is now because it's based on a faith relationship of who you know and not based upon performance?” Not me, I didn't say this.

Can you be saved in unrepented sin? If you repent, then sin again (without repenting), do you not have unrepented sin? If you repent, then keep all the commandments, which includes actions you are commanded to take, and continued repentance, are you working your way to heaven? Are you saved after all you can do? (Being commanded to do your best, so to keep that commandment you do everything you can, so that you are indeed repentant.) Again, not me

Exaltation and Eternal life cannot be earned, any more than gifts can be earned (if you earn it it’s a wage) Gifts like Eternal life and Exaltation can only be bestowed on the righteous,

Thanks for the definitions. So if God so chooses, the likes of Colofornian and I (colorcountry) will recieve exaltation even though what we deserve by the definitions found on lds.org is outer darkness. You don't have to do one thing, or partake of one ordinance in order to achieve exhaltation. YEAH, RIGHT!.....OH I see the qualifier there at the very end "by the righteous."

Please define righteous. ; )

>>Please define righteous. ; )

Being free from sin (Either by not sinning like Jesus Christ or through repentance, and faith in Jesus Christ).

Please start doing your own research ;)
