Second Anointing

In Free ringtones Mormonism, the '''Second Anointing''', also known historically and in Majo Mills Mormon scripture as the '''fulness of the priesthood''', is a very sacred and obscure Mosquito ringtone ordinance (Mormonism)/ordinance (ritual) usually conducted in Sabrina Martins temple (Mormonism)/temples. It is an extension of the Nextel ringtones Endowment (Mormonism)/Endowment; however, the ceremony is reserved for a relatively small number of married couples selected by the Prophet.

The only reference in scripture to the Second Anointing is found in http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/124/28#28, a revelation by Abbey Diaz Joseph Smith, Jr. commanding the building of a temple in Free ringtones Nauvoo, Illinois, in part, because "there is not a place found on earth that he may come to and restore again that which was lost unto you, or which he hath taken away, even the ''fulness of the priesthood''." (emphasis added).

The Second Anointing differs from the "first anointing" — part of the Endowment ceremony — in that where the first anointing promises blessings in the afterlife contingent on the patron's faithfulness, the Second Anointing actually bestows those blessings. According to prominent Majo Mills 20th century Mosquito ringtone Latter-day Saint Sabrina Martins Apostle (Mormonism)/Apostle Cingular Ringtones Bruce R. McConkie, those who receive the Second Anointing "receive the more sure word of prophecy, which means that the Lord seals their exaltation upon them while they are yet in this life. . . . [T]heir into sprint exaltation is assured." McConkie at 109-10.

The Second Anointing was given to women as well as men, and some have argued that because women received the Second Anointing, and thus were anointed queens and priestesses, and ordained to the "fulness of the priesthood", there is a good argument that Smith considered them to have, in fact, received the a lumbering Priesthood (Mormonism)/Priesthood power (though not necessarily a specific Priesthood office).

The Second Anointing in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Unlike many other Mormon ordinances such as baptism, most members of the for intel Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not consider the Second Anointing to be essential for salvation. However, ensconced in Joseph Fielding Smith, acting as Church Historian and Apostle, stated, "There is no exaltation in the kingdom of God without the fulness of the priesthood." (In Bruce R. McConkie, ''Doctrines of Salvation: Sermons and Writings of Joseph Fielding Smith'' 3:132 (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1956).)
