Achieving Exaltation part 2

Lets break down part 2 now.

We are taught:

He commands us all to receive certain ordinances: The HE is God the father. Does HE really teach this in the Bible? We are taught HE teaches we must:


1. We must be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ.
2. We must receive the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
3. We must receive the temple endowment.
4. We must be married for time and eternity.

This is very simple on these 4 parts, Show me chapter and verse from the Bible where it teaches this.

Then we are taught
In addition to receiving the required ordinances, the Lord commands all of us to--

1. Love and worship God.
2. Love our neighbor.
3. Repent of our wrongdoings.
4. Live the law of chastity.
5. Pay honest tithes and offerings.
6. Be honest in our dealings with others and with the Lord.
7. Speak the truth always.
8. Obey the Word of Wisdom.
9. Search out our kindred dead and perform the saving ordinances of the gospel for them.
10. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
11. Attend our Church meetings as regularly as possible so we can renew our baptismal covenants by partaking of the sacrament.
12. Love our family members and strengthen them in the ways of the Lord.
13. Have family and individual prayers every day.
14. Honor our parents.
15. Teach the gospel to others by word and example.
16. Study the scriptures.
17. Listen to and obey the inspired words of the prophets of the Lord.

I've read the Bible Cover to cover many times, I do not recall ever reading these commandments:

4. Live the law of chastity. 8. Obey the Word of Wisdom.
9. Search out our kindred dead and perform the saving ordinances of the gospel for them. 11. Attend our Church meetings as regularly as possible so we can renew our baptismal covenants by partaking of the sacrament.
12. Love our family members and strengthen them in the ways of the Lord.
13. Have family and individual prayers every day.
17. Listen to and obey the inspired words of the prophets of the Lord.

If I must do these things in order to be saved or exalted please show me Chapter and verse. Seems pretty simple thing to ask. Then to say I must obey the sabbath, then let me ask this, Why did Jesus break the Sabbath many times over and give an example of How King David and his men did it, and how the High Priests in the OT did it every Sabbath. Jesus was Clear, the Sabbath is for man, not man for the Sabbath.

Then as far as these two goes,

15. Teach the gospel to others by word and example.
16. Study the scriptures.

What if your on your death bed and cannot do this? And the Bible only tells us to preach the Gospel, it does not say, do it by example. So please show me from the Scripture if I am wrong, if I am not wrong, then how can you be sure your view is correct if you cannot prove this from the Bible? Rick b
