Degrees of glory

[tpblue123]

Hoping someone would be able to help me with this question. But with prove of scriptures not by guessing. I like to know who will be in the lowest glory, in the Celestial Kingdom, I already know who will be in the first one and in the second. I don' remember seen it not in D&C not in the Book of Mormon not in the Bible. I believe in the word of the authority of the LDS church. I want to know if it come from seventy apostle prophet.

Here is a breakdown of the different Kingdoms of Glory per Preach My Gospel and scripture

https://www.lds.org/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/lesson-2-the-plan-of-salvation?lang=eng

Celestial Kingdom

"During our mortal lives we make choices regarding good and evil. God rewards us according to our works and desires. Because God rewards everyone according to deeds done in the body, there are different kingdoms of glory to which we may be assigned after the Judgment.  Those who have repented of their sins and received the ordinances of the gospel and kept the associated covenants will be cleansed by the Atonement of Christ. They will receive exaltation in the highest kingdom, also known as the celestial kingdom. They will live in God’s presence, become like Him, and receive a fulness of joy. They will live together for eternity with those of their family who qualify. In the scriptures this kingdom is compared to the glory or brightness of the sun."

Terrestrial Kingdom

"People who do not accept the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ but live honorable lives will receive a place in the terrestrial kingdom. This kingdom is compared to the glory of the moon."  

Telestial Kingdom

"Those who continued in their sins and did not repent in this life will receive their reward in the lowest kingdom, which is called the telestial kingdom. This kingdom is compared to the glory of the stars." Doctrine and Covenants 76:103 further clarifies this to mean the "liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie."

Outer Darkness

Helaman 12:25-26. 25 And I would that all men might be saved. But we read that in the great and last day there are some who shall be cast out, yea, who shall be cast off from the presence of the Lord; 26 Yea, who shall be consigned to a state of endless misery

"We do not know much about who will inherit two of the three degrees within the celestial kingdom. However, much has been said about the highest level in the celestial kingdom, or exaltation, because that is where the Father wants all of His children to live (see Moses 1:39)."

- Elder B. Renato Maldonado

He them goes on to say nothing more about the other degrees, but only talks about the highest degree.

That is essentially what you will find.

Could you also specify where exactly you learned this? About there being 3 degrees in the celestial kingdom. I can't seem to find it

1 In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees; (D&C 131:1)

From another revelation to the Prophet Joseph, we learn that there are three degrees within the celestial kingdom. (LDS Topics - Kingdoms of Glory)

@tpblue123, there is no official doctrinal record about anything other than exaltation in the highest degree of the celestial kingdom.  Furthermore, many members interpret that Joseph Smith was speaking about heaven in general, and was referring to the already known 3 degrees of glory, rather than 3 previously unknown degrees inside the celestial kingdom (although the current teaching from Church resources is that there are in fact three degrees within the celestial kingdom itself). Here is an article detailing some random person's thoughts on that theory.

Quote

There is no scriptural explanation of those who go to the two lower categories of the Celestial Kingdom except that they "are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever," ministering servants who "remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity" (D&C 132:16-17).  (EOM - Degrees of Glory)

Section 76 of the doctrine and covenants is the revelation regarding the degrees of glory.

As far as attainments within the celestial kingdom, Joseph Smith mentioned them in the doctrine and covenants, and I can't recall which section.

Baptism is the requirement for the first attainment in the celestial kingdom, which is entrance therein. Eternal marriage is required for the highest and final attainment. It is the kind of life God lives, it is called Eternal life. And in a literal sense, you cannot live the life of God, a parent in a family, unless you yourself are married and sealed by proper authority.

1. 1. 

   The celestial kingdom is a kingdom of resplendent glory (see D&C 137:1–4).

2. 2. 

   Faithful members of the Church will come forth in the morning of the First Resurrection and receive a glorified, celestial body (see D&C 76:64–65; 88:28–29).

3. 3. 

   Those who inherit the celestial kingdom will dwell in the presence of God and Christ forever (see D&C 76:62).

4. 4. 

   Those in the celestial kingdom will minister to the inhabitants of the terrestrial kingdom (see D&C 76:86–87).

5. 5. 

   Those who inherit exaltation, the highest degree in the celestial kingdom, will become kings and priests unto God and members of the Church of the Firstborn (see D&C 76:54–57).

6. 6. 

   Through the Atonement and their own faithfulness, those who obtain exaltation become gods (see D&C 76:58; 132:19–20).
