President Joseph Fielding Smith
“In the resurrection there will be different kinds of
bodies; they will not all be alike. The body a man receives will determine his
place hereafter. There will be celestial bodies, terrestrial bodies, and
telestial bodies. …
“… Some will gain celestial bodies with all the powers of
exaltation and eternal increase. These bodies will shine like the sun as our
Savior’s does. … Those who enter the terrestrial kingdom will have terrestrial
bodies, and they will not shine like the sun, but they will be more glorious
than the bodies of those who receive the telestial glory” (Doctrines of
Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1954–56], 2:286, 287).
