What many don’t understand is that we are living right now in the telestial world.
When christ comes again the the world is purified by a baptism of fire. This is literally the consuming of all telestial matter. Thus making the earth a terrestrial kingdom for the millennium.

If we ourselves have not recieved the baptism of fire and the baptism of the holy ghost we are thus still telestial beings. And as such we will be consumed in the fire as the earth is terrestrialized.

For when we recieve our baptism of fire and of the holy ghost we are made full blood sons and daughters of christ. Our blood is literally changed into blood of Isreal. The baptism of fire consumes the grosser telestial matter in us. And before or during this major physiological and spiritual event the natural man is lost. And we become newly born in christ. The remission of sins is not only to be forgiven but to have also had the desire to sin removed. We have then ascended to a new level. We can still sin but the type of sin changes. While we could still fall into a carnal sin, the main idea is recognizing that sin is failing to do the will of Father. So at this new level our sins are less carnal and more sins of omission by failures to act accordingly as the spirit has directed us to do something.

We do not recieve the baptism of fire and holy ghost at confirmation as a general rule.

We must seek this baptism of fire diligently and constantly till we prove ourselves faithful such that the lord pleads our case before Father so that He authorizes this ordinance.

You must have made yourself known to christ by your works.

3rd Nephi chapters 11 to 19 teach us this.
Helaman 5 is a great chapter that describes in the best detail we have in scripture what a baptism of fire and ghost experience is like.

You’d KNOW if you had that experience.
3rd Nephi 9:20 tells us how we start the journey and enter into the new and everlasting covenant. DC22 and 2nd Nephi 31 and 32 teach us in greater detail what the Doctrine of christ is and how we apply it.

The doctrine of christ is specifically entering into the new and everlasting covenant which we do between us and God individually. Then we seek by personal revelation those things the spirit requires so that we can prove to God our faithfulness.

Having faith with works is literally seeking after and acting on personal revelation.
As you re read the scriptures understanding faith this way, it unlocks the reason most if us haven’t recieved the promised blessings we read about. Because we have thought faith to mean a deeply strong held believe and trust.
But when we add in the works by revelation it is complete. Then it becomes more interactive as we will yield greater witnesses from heaven and fruits for our labors.
