13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. -Romans 10:13 Bible, King James Version
Simply calling upon the Name of the Lord is not enough to gain Salvation in the Kingdom of Heaven for Eternity.
The Doctrine and Covenants
Section 131:6
Instructions by Joseph Smith the Prophet, given at Ramus, Illinois, May 16 and 17, 1843.
6 It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.
As is taught by the Mormon Church, it
is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance. They try to get
around this by practicing proxy marriages and baptisms for the dead but
this will not be enough to gain the Ascension. This means that these
spirits will have to re-embody in order to receive the Teachings of the
Ascended Masters so they can attain the Ascension in that future
embodiment.
Pistis Sophia translated by G. S. R. Mead
CHAPTER 102
JESUS
continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: "When I
shall have gone into the Light, then herald it unto the whole world and
say unto them: Cease not to seek day and night and remit not yourselves
until ye find the mysteries of the Light-kingdom, which will purify you
and make you into refined light and lead you into the Light-kingdom... |258. "Say unto them: Renounce the doctrines of error, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the Light...
CHAPTER 103
|263.
"But amēn, amēn, I say unto you: Even if a righteous man hath committed
no sins at all, he cannot possibly be brought into the Light-kingdom,
because the sign of the kingdom of the mysteries is not with him. In a
word, it is impossible to bring souls into the Light without the
mysteries of the Light-kingdom."
CHAPTER 111
When
then the disciples had said this, the Saviour continued again and said
unto his disciples: "If ye go into cities or kingdoms or countries,
proclaim first unto them, saying: Search ever and cease not, until ye
find the mysteries of the Light which will lead you into the
Light-kingdom. Say unto them: Beware of the doctrines of error. For many
will come in my name... and they will lead many astray. Now, therefore,
unto all men who come unto you and have faith in you and hearken unto
your words and do what is worthy of the mysteries of the Light, give the
mysteries of the Light and hide them not from them. And unto him who is
worthy of the higher mysteries, give them, and to him who is worthy of
the lower mysteries, give them, and hide not anything from any one...
CHAPTER 125
Mary
continued again and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, if the faith and
the mysteries shall have revealed themselves, -now, therefore, if souls
come into the world in many circuits [or changes of the body] and are
neglectful of receiving mysteries, hoping that, if they come into the
world at any other circuit, they will receive them, will they not then
be in danger |317. of not succeeding in receiving the mysteries?"
The
Saviour answered and said unto his disciples: "Herald unto the whole
world and say unto men: Strive thereafter that ye may receive the
mysteries of the Light in this time... and enter into the Light-kingdom.
Join not one day to another, or one circuit to another, hoping that ye
may succeed in receiving the mysteries if ye come into the world in
another circuit...
|318... "At
that time then the faith will reveal itself still more and the
mysteries in those days. And many souls will come by means of the
circuits of the changes of the body... coming back into the world...
CHAPTER 133
The
Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn, I say unto you: All which
is appointed unto every one... whether all good or all sins... cometh
unto them. For this cause, therefore, have I brought |351.
the keys of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; otherwise no flesh
in the world would be saved. For without mysteries no one will enter
into the Light-kingdom, be he a righteous or a sinner... |352...
"For this cause, therefore, I have not hidden it, but I have cried it
aloud clearly. And I have not separated the sinners, but I have cried it
aloud and said it unto all men, unto sinners and righteous, saying:
'Seek that ye may find, knock that it may be opened unto you; for every
one who seeketh in truth, will find, and who knocketh, to him it will be
opened.' For I have said unto all men: They are to seek the mysteries
of the Light-kingdom which shall purify them and make them refined and
lead them into the Light. For this cause, therefore, hath John the
Baptizer prophesied concerning me, saying: 'I indeed have baptized you
with water unto repentance for forgiveness of your sins. He who cometh
after me, is stronger than me. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
purify his floor. The chaff indeed he will consume with unquenchable
fire, but the wheat he will gather into his barn.' The power in John
hath prophesied concerning me, knowing that I would bring the mysteries
into the world and purify the sins of the sinners who shall have faith
in me and hearken unto me, and make them into refined light and lead
them into the Light."
Mighty Victory teaches us: "...the masses of mankind, until they are taught this Law, do not have permanent Victory! ...Like a pendulum they swing and swing and swing, and never stabilize anywhere; because they cannot, until they know That Glorious Word "I AM"; understand where the "Mighty I AM Presence" is; what It is and what It can do for them. Only then can they see, know and accept the Reality of the Mighty Ascended Masters; the Great Cosmic Beings... Until they know the "Beloved Mighty I AM Presence" and Its Cosmic Law, they are not stabilized within Permanent Happiness nor Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1951 June p28-29)
