And the way is prepared from the fall of man, and salvation is free. Quote for DiscussionBeheld in youth his glory:Samuel 1 Samuel 3:8, 10Mormon Mormon 1:15Joseph Smith JSH 1:7, 17 Salvation “free” and “not free” Unconditional or general salvation, that which comes by grace alone without obedience to gospel law, consists in the mere fact of being resurrected. In this sense salvation is synonymous with immortality; it is the inseparable connection of body and spirit so that the resurrected personage lives forever....Conditional or individual salvation, that which comes by grace coupled with gospel obedience, consists in receiving an inheritance in the celestial kingdom of God. This kind of salvation follows faith, repentance, baptism, receipt of the Holy Ghost, and continued righteousness to the end of one’s mortal probation. (D&C 20:29; 2 Ne. 9:23-24.)Bruce R.
