Dr. Steven C. Harper shares why the Saints referred to this section as “The Vision” before the First Vision was shared widely, “The Vision” of the Three Degrees of Glory changed the soteriology of salvation. Dr. Harper explains how this series of visions and commentary was not only controversial, but how God has provided a way for most of His children to return. This expansive revelation changes the Saints’ view of grace and salvation forever.
