1. What did we do as Gods in the premortal world?
Quote:And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell; - Abraham 3:24
Quote:And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, - Revelation 12:7
These show me we could and did affect the physical world, and we fought with one another, meaning we could make choices, and some chose to act against the will of God.
I have other theories about what we may have done prior to this life, but reincarnation is a different topic, discussed in a different thread.
2. What gifts and powers did we have then?
As shown above, we had the power to change the physical world, to make an earth. We also had some means to injure each other, or so the word 'war' suggests to me. For if there was nothing I could do to a fellow spirit, it would be a discussion, not a war.
Someone in the pre-existence had the ability to take intelligences and form them into spirit children. Was this exclusive to God, or did we have this ability as well?
3. Do our glorified spirits continue to have these same gifts and powers?
Can you please define a 'glorified spirit'? I am familiar with a glorified being, having both spirit and body, but a glorified spirit? Is this during our time on earth, or in the spirit world before resurrection?
4. Can we relearn to use these gifts and powers as spiritual beings having a physical experience?
Some of the abilities which we possessed in our prior life depended upon authority to act. So it is now. There is nothing which a spirit could do without a body which a righteous priesthood holder cannot do when his actions are the will of God.
In addition, there are some abilities, such as speaking with the tongue of angels, astral projection, and some of the other 'psychic' abilities which can be relearned, even when rejecting God as a participant.
