God does not assign us to heaven or hell. President Dallin H. Oaks (
) taught that Final Judgement "is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts—what we have done. It is based on the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become." EVERY HUMAN BEING will be saved and resurrected through Jesus Christ. EVERY HUMAN BEING will be exalted if they choose to live by God's celestial laws. This is simple and straightforward. God honors our agency. We determine the blessings we receive through our actions. God has a place for us depending on the actions we take. The Kingdoms of Glory that God prepared for us, and Paul spoke of, is the plan that allows EVERY HUMAN BEING to receive what they choose to receive. This understanding of the after-life is far more reflective of the human experience and Jesus Christ's teachings than simply being assigned to heaven or hell based on belief alone.
