The scripture D&C 93:1 "Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;"
This is the process of coming to know with perfect knowledge that Jesus does live.
There are four parts to having all of the blessings of C&E.
One is the above experience. Second would be to be filled with the power of the Holy Ghost and to hear the Father say unto you,"calling you by name, my son or daughter, thou shall have eternal life. Thou shall be exalted." This is what is called to have the Holy Spirit of Promise. Third is to have a person or angel who has the power to bind on earth and in heaven to lay hands upon your head and seal you up to eternal life. Fourth is to have the Second Comforter which is to have the Savior come to you on an ongoing basis to teach you personally face to face. These things can happen all at once - meaning that Christ comes to you personally and the Father then declares unto you at that time that you will have eternal life. And Christ would then lay His hands upon you and seal you up to eternal life. Then He would then return to you on an ongoing basis to teach you things beyond the things mentioned in the temple. These four events could be decades apart from each other as well. Everything happens in the Lord's own way and in the Lord's own time line. As an example, Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son in the grove of trees at fourteen years old, but did not receive his C&E until 1831 eleven years later.
