Not true.
We believe that every person who has lived and died -- man, woman, or child -- will be resurrected. It is a free and unconditional gift from God, and cannot be withheld by anyone else.
Not true as the LDS religion states? If you’re LDS you might want to check your “sacred books” ...
We believe that every person who has lived and died -- man, woman, or child -- will be resurrected. It is a free and unconditional gift from God, and cannot be withheld by anyone else.
BUT..."But obedience to the commandments of God is requisite if one is to be resurrected with a celestial body. Laws leading to celestial glory will be discussed at this conference. Our challenge is to learn them and abide by them."
So what about the whole truth, Logophile?
This great priesthood power of resurrection is vested in the Lord of this world. He taught that all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth (Matt. 28:18). Though he supplicated his Father for aid at the eleventh hour, the final victory over death was earned by the Son. These are his words:
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father (John 10:1718).
This power he subtly proclaimed when he said unto the Jews:
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. But he spake of the temple of his body (John 2:1921).
The keys of the Resurrection repose securely with our Lord and Master. He said:
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die (John 11:2526).
But obedience to the commandments of God is requisite if one is to be resurrected with a celestial body. Laws leading to celestial glory will be discussed at this conference. Our challenge is to learn them and abide by them.
I thank God for his Son, Jesus Christ, for his mission in mortality, and for his ministry as the resurrected Lord. He brought about his own resurrection. Testimonies of thousands, from ancient and modern times, attest to the truth that the resurrected Jesus is the Savior of mankind. He brought about a universal resurrection: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive (1 Cor. 15:22; see also Mosiah 3:16).
His sacrifice and his glory assure that the spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time
We believe that every person who has lived and died — man, woman, or child — will be resurrected. It is a free and unconditional gift from God, and cannot be withheld by anyone else.

This is what Mormons mean when they say they believed they are ‘saved by grace’. Saved to Mormons = resurrection. Getting back into the presence of God the Father requires works and LDS church membership.
The husbands are still the ones who call their wives forth, that is the point of him calling her through the veil at the temple (at least prior to the 1990 changes).
Well big deal...
...who DON'T?
It's IN THE BIBLE!
