The list of levels of testimony and knowledge about Jesus Christ bothers me. The first part says all about the church and how you should have this before you get baptized, but then it goes down and says that you're a prophet and you prophesy. - Fairy and Dragon

1. Telestial - Lowest Kingdom - Those here have No Revelation regarding Christ and so they do not have a Testimony of Christ from the spirit. But they do have various revelations from the Holy Ghost who governs here. With the revelations come prophecies and understanding. This is the power of the Holy Ghost to influence periodically. Are they prophets, Yes. Are they prophets of Jesus Christ? No. I believe that to say they have, "no Gift" is incorrect.
   
2. Terrestrial - Middle Kingdom - Receive a Testimony of Christ from the spirit. And have the oppertunity for the spirit to be with them always because they accepted it fully. The Millennial Earth is a Terrestrial kingdom and there will be many from other churches and religious and non-religious groups that are part of that kingdom. Having a testimony of Christ makes all the difference because you now have knowledge that enables your progression beyond that available to those who do not know the Christ.
   
3. Celestial - Highest Kingdom - Receive the Knowledge of Christ. And have the oppertunity for Christ to be with them always because they accepted him fully. They are now influenced in part by God. They know God and Jesus whom he has sent. If you know the one, then you know the other.

The prerequisite to baptism is a testimony of Jesus. This is also a prerequisite to receiving the gift of the holy ghost. These steps seem to show these are one and the same. - Fairy

Someone who has felt in their heart a witness of the truth of another person's words has a testimony of Jesus, but is far from prepared to prophesy about it. - Fairy

1. The same process of receiving revelation from the spirit is the same process by which we prophecy. If you can receive revelation from the Holy Ghost, then you can prophecy by that same spirit.
   
2. The revelation contains the seed of prophecy. For example, with the revelation of Airplanes comes the prophecy that people everywhere will fly from place to place. With the invention of the atom bomb come various prophecies. Non of which require a testimony of Jesus Christ.
