- “I go on to mention another revealed truth. We are told that God is no respecter of persons, and yet, in no other church of which I am aware, is provision made for those beyond the veil of death to receive every blessing which is afforded the living. The great doctrine of salvation for the dead is unique to this Church. The dead are given the same opportunity as the living. Again, what a glorious and wonderful provision the Almighty has made through His revelation to His Prophet.” Manual, Teachings of the President of the Church: Gordon B Hinckley, Chapter 1 Restoration of the Gospel the Dawning of a Brighter Day
