We tend not to talk about stuff like this very much, but there's an interesting thought floating around the minds of at least some LDS believers out there, that once they get married in the temple, they're saved. it comes from D&C 132:26:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man marry a wife according to my word, and they are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, according to mine appointment, and he or she shall commit any sin or transgression of the new and everlasting covenant whatever, and all manner of blasphemies, and if they commit no murder wherein they shed innocent blood, yet they shall come forth in the first resurrection, and enter into their exaltation;
In other words, they quietly claim, once they get sealed in the temple, they're saved. I should point out that as far as I know, those in positions to declare Church doctrine have not made that claim. This seems to be more of a cultural belief than an official one. Which is good, because as I see it, it completely misinterprets scripture. For instance, John 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
You don't have eternal life until you know God. Period. Which kinda helps explain what the "Holy Spirit of Promise" might mean.
