Seeker, I like your comments on time. When the Millennium comes, maybe it will be more accurate to say, "Telestial time is no longer."

RedMint, we may be dealing with semantics here, but "the gift of the holy ghost" as defined in the Gospel Principles manual (page 121) and as identified as the second of (at least) 3 phases of the Light of Christ by Marion G. Romney in 4/1977 Conference would seem to indicate that "the gift of the holy ghost" is not quite the end of our potential spiritual journey.

I like how Joseph F. Smith has referred to it as "the presentation of the Holy Ghost" (Gospel Doctrine, 60-1).

Perhaps slight variations to your statement could include:

The fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the full reception of the Holy Ghost.
The fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ is to become a Holy Ghost clothed in a celestial body.
The fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ is to become one with the Holy Ghost, the Son, and the Father.

There were some earlier comments about Nephi seeing "the Spirit of the Lord" in 1 Nephi 11:11. "I beheld that he was in the form of a man." Although some think he saw the Holy Ghost, my own opinion is that he saw the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ (Jehovah). If this opinion is correct, I wonder if maybe that partially explains why the Spirit of the Lord leaves, and Nephi is then accompanied by an angel when he sees Christ's mortal ministry in vision--maybe seeing double would be too much for Nephi's mind?
