nor is it part of their official doctrine. The actual doctrine is that worthy members will inherit all that God has - which I believe is a fairly common Christian belief (Revelations 21 KJV "He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.&quot You can find references to people believing that means they will be gods in the next life with their own planets etc, but you would be pretty hard pressed to find anything about that in recognized cannon or doctrine (and no, the Discourse of Brigham Young are not, nor have they ever, been considered cannon or doctrine, see: http://www.fairlds.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/What_is_Mormon_Doctrine.pdf)
