Its been said over and over since I've been a member of the Church that we in these latter days are "elite" spirit children of God as is evident by our comming to the earth in this last and great dispensation. We are "elite" because this is "the fullness of times" where the Church was restored and re-established never to be taken away.
But, I've often wondered something. What about those souls who chose to keep their 1st estate and come to this earth to receave a body etc..during the "Dark Ages" or Middle Ages when there was absolutley no Pristhood Authority and the entire world was in a state of apostasy. Were those souls common or inferior or were they also "elite" but of a previous wave of elite spirits? I mean, its easy to jump into a fight your side is winning, but to get out there when your side is being stomped into the ground and all you have to go on is the "promise" that your side will be victorious in the end, that takes guts! (faith).
Im not saying I dont think this generation is elite, if the leaders of the Church say we are, then we are, but what about some other generations?
