Speaking of those who will inherit the Telestial Kingdom, we read:
But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore; And heard the voice of the Lord saying: These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him who sits upon the throne forever and ever; For they shall be judged according to their works, and every man shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion, in the mansions which are prepared; And they shall be servants of the Most High; but where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end. (D&C 76:109-112)
Elsewhere, we read:
For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever. (D&C 132:17)
It strikes me that these, and other texts, that speak of one’s inheritance in the hereafter to be fixed to refute the concept, popular in some circles, that there will be progression between the kingdoms of glory. While I would not go as far as Bruce McConkie in condemning such a view as a “heresy” (at least in the sense of something being damnable and resulting in one being, ipso facto, excommunicated in the eyes of God), it is a false doctrine (so “heresy” in that sense).
