Best Answer

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) base their belief in the three kingdoms of heaven on 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 and 2 Corinthians 12:2 in the New Testament.

The doctrine of three kingdoms of heaven is explained in a revelation which Mormons believe was given by God to Joseph Smith. It is now contained in Doctrine and Covenants section 76.

You can read that revelation at the "Related Links" below.

Do Mormons believe in 3 separated gods?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not believe in the Trinity. They believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are three distinct and separate beings, united in purpose. These three are referred to as the "Godhead". A Mormon would not say that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three Gods, however. Only the Father is God. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Savior of the world. They believe in and worship only one God.

What is the highest degree of exaltation in Mormon religion?

While the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believes that most people will get to heaven, they believe in three levels (kingdoms or degrees) of heaven: the Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial. The highest kingdom is the Celestial, to which only faithful believers will go. Doctrine and Covenants section 131 also says that within the Celestial kingdom there are another three degrees, but little has been said about them. "The highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom" is considered the highest degree of exaltation. Section 131 says, "In the Celestial Glory there are three heavens or degrees; and in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the Priesthood (meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage); and if he does not, he cannot obtain it. He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
