1. “We believe in a God who is Himself progressive, whose majesty is intelligence; whose perfection consists in eternal advancement — a Being who has attained His exalted state by a path which now His children are permitted to follow, whose glory it is their heritage to share. In spite of the opposition of the sects, in face of direct charges of blasphemy, the Church proclaims the eternal truth: ‘As man is, God once was; as God is, man may be.’  ”
“Mormon prophets have continuously taught the sublime truth that God the Eternal Father was once a mortal man who passed through a school of earth life similar to that through which we are now passing. Remember that God our Heavenly Father was perhaps once a child, and mortal like we are, and rose step by step in the scale of progress in the school of advancement.”*
2. “No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter the celestial Kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith.”*
“There is no salvation outside  . . .  the Church [of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints].”*
