Three Degrees of Glory: A Discourse. E-book. Formato PDF Melvin Joseph Ballard   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

I recognize the fact that no man will get all the way to the end of the road and gain a fullness of salvation in the Celestial King dom of God unless he complies with all the terms and all the conditions of salvation in the Celestial Kingdom of God unless he said, Straight is the gate and narrow is the waywhich leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. I discover in my reading of ancient and modern scriptures that the great majority of our Father's children will only go a part of the way toward that great goal and end because they will not comply with all the terms and conditions. They will get one third of the way, we will say, and find themselves in the Telestial Kingdom. An other group will go a little farther on the right road but they won't comply with all the terms and conditions and will not reach the end of that journey. They may go, per haps, two-thirds of the way to the Terrestrial Glory. And few there be who will comply and find the way by which they may make the entire journey, complying with all the terms, all the conditions and ultimately reaching the end of the road, entering into the Celestial Kingdom of God; they shall obtain Celestial Glory.
