>Actually, this is basically true<
.
So is it also "basically false"?
.
>Now hit us with your bombshell, which you have maneuvered us into<
.
I wasn't aware that I had any bombshells - now or ever. All I've ever tried to do on AB is present evidence and challenge Mormon claims that seem at odds with that evidence via the best scholarship that I'm capable of at any given time.
.
However, I'm not sure if you've really answered this question.
.
Never-the-less, here are +6 courtesy points.
.
However, I would appreciate it if you would fix your answer so that your stance is more concrete.
.
And, knock me over with a feather - not a bit of dogma spewing or testimony bearing in your answer! Just straight reporting of facts - now THAT's odd . . .
.
Are you feeling well Whew? If you keep this up we're going to have to shelf your "Dogma Spew Whew" nickname permanently!
(and we can't have that!)

Question on this:
.
"It is True that it is believed that people must be baptized to enter the highest degree of glory but it is not pertinent that such an ordinance be performed in this life. It is believed all of mankind will be given oppurtunity eventually."
.
Isn't Celestial Marriage also required per D&C 132:1-4 which says:
.
Doctrine & Covenants 132
1 In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
2 And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];
3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase.

Yes it is true that celestial marriage is believed to be required like baptisim though it need not be obtained in this life.
