In reply to the discussion: Does Mitt Romney believe in Polygamy? Does he have, or has he ever had, another Wife? [View all]FreeState
(10,613 posts)48. When it comes to polygamy and exaltation you never know
Exaltation is the LDS term for becoming Gods.
Most members if you ask them about either of these issues will say they are uncertain exactly what will happen, they take it in faith regardless of how uncomfortable these two issues make them. Its common to be told "it will all be worked out in the next life, why worry about it now".
So in short, even though those are LDS doctrines, it does not mean a member believes it on face value, many just follow along with faith.
