OK... This is what I was taught... It's all bull, but we know that.
Anyway... When we die, we don't get to go straight to our final Glories (Celestial, Telestial and Terrestrial, or outer darkness, where the party will be), we go to the "spirit world" where we wait for our turn at resurrection.
The good spirits go to the mormon version of spirit heaven, non-mormons go to spirit prison. Here in spirit prison, Missionaries from Mormon spirit Heaven travel to spirit prison to teach the truth to those who didn't get a chance to learn it in their life.
Apparently, even with overwhelming evidence, some will still turn it down. Why? our wishes and desires are even more hard to control without a body. If we were a devout Lutheran, it will be that much harder to convert afterwards... Nice, right? If you heard about the church at all, and then passed on it, the interview to have your baptism is really, really hard and you may have to go through some extra steps since you had a chance while you were alive. Some have said that ex-mo's like us are just plain out of luck.
Anyway, people still living here on Earth are working on doing baptisms for everyone who died (often more than once, got to be sure!). If you manage to overcome your spiritual stubbornness, and agree to convert, then the baptism will "stick", if not, then it doesn't stick and you don't get to go to the CK, no matter what, this is your last chance, really... Don't blow it, I mean Jesus is standing right there, why aren't you listening?
So, finally, you've accepted mormon's version of religion. Eventually, you get in line for resurrection and assignment into one of the kingdoms... Our own "anointedone" jumps to the front of the line and gets to go straight to the CK due to his 2nd anointing! Yay for him! If you made it to the CK, then you get assigned to one of the glories there.
It's unclear if someone who has posthumously converted can make it to the uppermost kingdom. Some say no, you had to hear it while you were alive the first time... Some say, that's not fair and God is nothing if not not fair (right?) and everyone gets a chance at becoming a God in their own right.
So, there you have it, if you want to wait to convert until after you die, it's best that you stop researching the church now, ignorance really is bliss when it comes to religion.
