The doctrine known as the Plan of Salvation is a central teaching in
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
and explains where we came from, why we are here, and what happens after this life.
Many people are surprised to learn that LDS beliefs describe different degrees of glory in heaven, based on scriptures found in the Bible and the

LDS teaching:
• All people lived with God before being born on earth
• We existed as spirit children of Heavenly Father
• Earth life is part of a test to learn, grow, and choose good

This belief is based on verses such as Jeremiah 1:5 and Hebrews 12:9.
Earth Life and the Spirit World
According to LDS teaching:
• All people lived with God before being born on earth
• We existed as spirit children of Heavenly Father
• Earth life is part of a test to learn, grow, and choose good
This belief is based on verses such as Jeremiah 1:5 and Hebrews 12:9.

After death, LDS doctrine teaches that spirits go to the Spirit World:
• Spirit Paradise – for the righteous
• Spirit Prison – for those who did not accept the gospel yet
This teaching connects to 1 Peter 3:19–20, where Christ preached to spirits in prison.
The Three Degrees of Glory

LDS scripture teaches that after judgment, people inherit one of three kingdoms:
☀️ Celestial Kingdom
• Highest glory
• Those who fully accepted Christ
• Compared to the sun
🌙 Terrestrial Kingdom
• Honorable people who did not fully accept the gospel
• Compared to the moon
⭐ Telestial Kingdom
• Those who rejected truth but later accepted it
• Compared to the stars

This teaching comes from Doctrine and Covenants 76 and 1 Corinthians 15:40-42.

“In My Father’s House Are Many Mansions”
LDS members connect this doctrine to:
John 14:2 – In my Father’s house are many mansions.
The belief is that God prepared different levels of glory, not just one heaven or one hell.
