Everyone reaches their final resting place after Christ's Return, the Millennium, and then the Final Judgement. Not before. The act of getting dunked doesn't save anyone. But accepting Christ and taking on His name is part of being His disciple. He's taken to spirit paradise. A temporary...

Having out as spirits in either a temporary prison or paradise.

I believe the Final Judgement occurs after Christ's return and the Millennium.

There's nothing forbidding dancing at all. Like I used to teach Youth Group and we had dance instruction lesson, there's routine dances at the local college group, etc. My sister loves to salsa. I personally am just completely musically/dance challenged. Edit-- ok, nothing forbidding clean...

Haha! I know I can't dance. But i need to say: go watch some Latina dances (LDS or Baptist) before we make any final pronouncements there!

Bible cannons actually vary between 66 to 81 book counts. Good article on that: Books of the Bible - Wikipedia LDS use the 66 book Bible (KJV for English), but do not constrains God's words to just that. The Book of Mormon is also considered scripture, along with the Doctrine & Covenants, and...

(Addressing this out of order) I do believe you in that regard now. My earlier precaution was nothing personal just... the result of many bad experiences over the years. This real type of conversation is actually the type of thing I'm always hoping for (whether it's explaining my beliefs or...

Oh but marriage is about so much more than having babies!! Not in any way you or I think of as having babies (the whole 9 months embryo development and stuff). I also appreciate your answers. This has been a very enjoyable conversation.

That is unusual-- very refreshing actually. Thank you. For starters, the focus of the Sadducees question in Matthew 22:23-30, isn't actually about marriage in Heaven. The real underlying focus on the question is the Sadducees trying to show that the idea of a resurrection is ridiculous...

I have studied many beliefs, including of different Christian folds. I am very aware of the different views. In fact, if you want me to elaborate on any particular non-LDS view, I can very much do that. I'm also very familiar with the many different misunderstandings out there, for example...

Happy to help :)

Yes, as do Trinitarians (referring to the Athanasian Creed for Trinitarian beliefs). Three different persons (Father, Son, Spirit) are ONE God. There is a difference in belief how the three persons are one.

Yes, when the background being properly understood. I don't if you are probably understanding the background here, hence why I included the larger link and offered to explain any other questions.

ALL family bonds continue past this life-- they don't just go away like they're training wheels to be ditched later. These people and bonds will continue to exist past death: your bond with your parents, you children, your spouse etc. Yes these bonds continue onward to eternity, with/through...

*thumbs up* My apologies that my answer wasn't clear before. Yes, I do believe that each person has existed eternally before birth and will continue to exist eternally afterwards. And that my brain doesn't comprehend those scales. We don't know much about spirits, how the physics there work...

"Far older" = WAAAAAAAAAAAY than my little brain can comprehend. My internal measuring times scales does work past a century, let alone eternity in the past (before brith) or eternity in the future (resurrection, etc).

Heaven isn't Heaven without those we love. No one's spouse or child-parent bond is just "training wheels" to teach you what "real love" is (though they certainly do teach us a lot more about love). I fully hope to see all my loved ones in Heaven with God's presence, and these bonds indeed will...

There is a LOT in this question and a lot of background which I would need to even cover to adequately address things. I'm not completely sure which particular aspect here you're wanted addressed, so I'll attach this link to cover general bases: Chapter 46: The Final Judgment If you want me to...

Well naturally. We go out at 8 pm, dig up some corpses, dunked them, but then got to have them back by 10 before the graveyard keeper comes around. ^That is completely a joke. Baptisms for the dead doesn't involve any corpse or anything gross like that. Or any "making someone Mormon"...

(I'm going to rephrase your question slightly) When I hold a newborn baby, I do not believe that that person and their spirit has only exists for ~9 months. I just don't. Rather, I believe that this person is far older than that and this spirit was literally known by God before their...
