And I quote ...
"Joseph (Smith, Jr.) insisted more than once that 'all who would follow the precepts of the Bible, whether Mormon or not, would assuredly be saved.'" |

Perhaps Elder McConkie's most stirring testimony was delivered in General Conference just days before his death:

"In answer to your inquiry in letter of February 15, 1968 addressed to President David O. McKay I am directed to tell you that the Church has never announced a definite doctrine on the point of progression from one kingdom to another after the resurrection. Some of the brethren have held the view that it was possible in the course of progression to advance from one glory to another, invoking the principle of eternal progression; others of the brethren have taken an opposite view. But, as stated, the Church has never announced a definite doctrine on this point." To this day, letter's on First Presidency Letterhead on this subject are very close to Anderson's wording. So since the Church has not adopted an official position on this subject, Elder McConkie was expressing his view, nothing more (and nothing less).
