“[N]o man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith … every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are.”
Brigham Young – 9 October 1859, Journal of Discourses – Volume 7 (Liverpool, England: Amasa Lyman, 1860), 289.
