(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 its 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. ; )
