|H=Plural marriage as a requirement for exaltation
|S=Some Church leaders taught that plural marriage was a requirement for those wishing to enter the highest degree of the celestial kingdom. Because the Church does not currently practice plural marriage, some claim this means that either the leaders were wrong, or that current members are not destined for exaltation.
|L1=Doctrine and Covenants and Church History Seminary Teacher Manual: "Do not speculate about whether plural marriage is a requirement for the celestial kingdom"
|L2=Gospel Topics: "During the years that plural marriage was publicly taught, all Latter-day Saints were expected to accept the principle as a revelation from God"
|L3=Charles W. Penrose (Improvement Era): "it is not stated that plural marriage is thus essential"
|L4=Question: Did early Mormon leaders teach the plural marriage was a requirement for exaltation?
|L5=Question: Because Mormons do not currently practice plural marriage, does this mean that early leaders who taught that is was required were wrong?
|L6=Question: If early Church leaders taught that plural marriage was required, does this mean that current members are not capable of achieving exaltation?
|L7=Question: Does D&C 132 state that polygamy is required for our exaltation?
