    "Whenever the fulness of the gospel is on earth, the Lord has agents to whom he gives power to bind on earth and seal eternally in the heavens. (Matthew 16:19; 18:18; Helaman 10:3–10; D&C 132:46–49.) . . .


    The Prophet Joseph Smith said he was frequently asked the question, "‘Can we not be saved without going through with all those ordinances, etc?' I would answer, No, not the fullness of salvation. Jesus said, ‘There are many mansions in my Father's house, and I will go and prepare a place for you.' House here named should have been translated kingdom; and any person who is exalted to the highest mansion has to abide a celestial law, and the whole law too" (History of the Church, 6:184).

    "All things that are not sealed by this power have an end when men are dead. Unless a baptism has this enduring seal, it will not admit a person to the celestial kingdom; unless an eternal marriage covenant is sealed by this authority, it will not take the participating parties to an exaltation in the highest heaven within the celestial world.


    "All things gain enduring force and validity because of the sealing power. So comprehensive is this power that it embraces ordinances performed for the living and the dead, seals the children on earth up to their fathers who went before, and forms the enduring patriarchal chain that will exist eternally among exalted beings" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 2nd edition [1966], 683).


    In the Church we hold sufficient authority to perform all of the ordinances necessary to redeem and to exalt the whole human family. And, because we have the keys to the sealing power, what we bind in proper order here will be bound in heaven. Those keys—the keys to seal and bind on earth, and have it bound in heaven—represent the consummate gift from our God. With that authority we can baptize and bless, we can endow and seal, and the Lord will honor our commitments.

    I was given a vision of all of the levels of Heaven. The very top level is not like any of the others. It is not a place, it is an understanding and it is the point that all things are made. It is the oneness with God. At the top level you understand all things. You see the way the worlds are and you understand the Great plan. We are in School but if I told you want we are learning, most of you would not believe me. It is so wonderful that you will find it hard to understand. WE ARE LEARNING TO BE LIKE GOD. We are learning to take care of the small and weak by being small and weak. We are learn the power of love by needing love. We are learning the cost of sin by seening it's effects. The truth is that we are in the best School ever made. The Good new is that you are NOT taken to the top level when you die you are given time to learn more about God. He show you Himself in his works. All the level of Heaven have an order is one is soon to be put in order. I told you it was hard for you to understand. The answer creates questions.

    I’m not sure if “level” is the right term, but in short, life in the Celestial Kingdom requires one to accept the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in their fulness; and the fulness of the Gospel they have taught. This, of course, means relying wholly on the grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    For a more in-depth treatment, see §76 of the Church’s Doctrine and Covenants, especially vv.50-70 (http://tinyurl.com/554byq).

    HTH!
