Beliefs & Doctrine

Spirit Prison

  1. The part of the postmortal spirit world for those who died without the gospel or who were disobedient, where they may still learn and accept it.

Less a place of torment than a state of waiting and learning. Spirits from paradise preach to those in spirit prison, and ordinances like baptism for the dead let them accept the gospel and move to paradise.
