Talk:Afterlife
"The Articles of Faith also considered the question of the movement from one kingdom of glory to another after death. In the first edition "eternal progression" included not only "advancement from grade to grade within any kingdom" but also movement "from kingdom to kingdom." "

Franklin D. Richards, “Words of the Prophets,” pg. 24, Church Historians Office. (This is a small booklet kept by Brother Richards of the statements made by Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith.): “Hiram [Smith] said Aug 1st. Those of the Terrestrial Glory either advance to the Celestial or reced to the Teletial or else the moon would not be a type, [because] it ‘waxes and wanes.’”

It is said that those of the terrestrial glory will be ministered unto by those of the Celestial; and those of the telestial will be ministered unto by those of the terrestrial–that is, those of the higher glory minister to those of a lesser order of glory. We can conceive of no reason for all this administration of the higher to the lower, unless it be for the purpose of advancing our Father’s children along the lines of eternal progression.” (Brigham H. Roberts, Outlines of Ecclesiastical History, 4th Ed. (Salt Lake City, 1925), pg. 415-416, emphasis mine)
