For those of you with a lot more knowledge about the C&E process, is this thought way off, or is it close?
These things are so, I believe, in accordance to our Pre-mortal endowment . . . wherein we were promised temporal blessings according to our spiritual faithfulness. Such was the case with priesthood (Alma 13) and spiritual gifts.
