The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints says this in their third article of faith:
- We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. http://www.mormon.org.uk/beliefs/articles-of-faith
I also found this statement while I was doing research into the subject:
As spirits, we will have an interim judgment which will determine whether our spirits go to Paradise (where the Savior went when his body was in the tomb) or to the Spirit Prison called Hell.
Is this Spirit Prison called Hell a place of eternal torment, or do those who have rejected Christ Jesus get a second chance to be saved?
On the subject of unrepentant sinners and the Telestial Kingdom, I found this quote:
The Telestial Kingdom will be populated with the unrepentant sinners who, in spite of the fact that they did ultimately acknowledge Jesus to be the Christ, refused to accept His teachings or His atoning sacrifice on their behalf. They were too proud or too rebellious to care to commit themselves to Him in any way, and were willing to accept the consequences for their refusal. They will spend eternity as “servants of the Most High but where God and Christ dwell they cannot come…” Doctrine & Covenants 76:112.
I would also be interested to find out if the beliefs of Latter Day Saints on this subject have any basis in the words of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament.
