Beliefs & Doctrine

Sons of Perdition

  1. The very few who, having fully known God's power, openly rebel against Him — the only ones who receive no kingdom of glory but instead go to outer darkness.

Latter-day Saints teach that this fate is reserved for Satan and his followers and for the rare mortals who commit the "unpardonable sin" of denying the Holy Ghost after a perfect knowledge. It is understood to apply to almost no one.
