We believe all righteous Gentiles have a place in the World to Come.

So do Mormons - kinda...




HEAVEN-The Mormon church teaches there are three levels of heaven (three "degrees of glory"):

Celestial - for Mormons who have kept ALL of the laws and ordinances of their church.                                                               (Where the Father lives.  Only about 15% of Mormons have a VALID TR card.)
Terrestrial - for religious people who aren't Mormons and for Mormons who have not met the requirements of the Church.     (Where approximately 85% 0f Mormons will end up)
Telestial - where unbelievers go


 
 
The Doctrine and Covenants
Section 76
 
 92 And thus we saw the glory of the celestial, which excels in all things—where God, even the Father, reigns upon his throne forever and ever;
 93 Before whose throne all things bow in humble reverence, and give him glory forever and ever.
 94 They who dwell in his presence are the church of the Firstborn; and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known, having received of his fulness and of his grace;
 95 And he makes them equal in power, and in might, and in dominion.
 
 
Those who inherit terrestrial glory will “receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father.   https://www.lds.org/topics/kingdoms-of-glory?lang=eng  (click view more)

True, but this classification is not as expansive as most have come to believe it to be.

The "righteous of the nations" (chasidei-'ummot-ha`olam) actually refers to non-Jews who have rejected all false religions and adhere to the Noachide Laws alone, and who keep all of them in all their details or else who achieve perfect repentance.

The notion that the Torah teaches that "all good people regardless of religion" have a place in the World to Come is liberal universalist nonsense.
