You have asked whether the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really believes that the only way to heaven is by having a personal relationship with Jesus. I am happy to tell you that this is exactly what we believe. The scriptures that you mentioned from John 3:16-17 couldn’t be clearer. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we talk of Christ, we preach of Christ, and we teach our children that He is the only source by which they may gain eternal life. We love His teachings and strive to emulate them even though we are not perfect. We strive to take upon ourselves His name by the way we live our lives and by the way we treat our fellowmen.
You asked if we believe that when we die we get our own planet and whether we would be a god on that planet. To that I would say when we die, like all men and women, we will receive glory, immortality, and eternal life if we have been righteous and faithful to the things that we know to be true and in keeping all of God’s commandments. Our Savior has said, "In my Father’s house are many mansions." We do believe that we will inherit such celestial residence since He promised it on condition of faithfulness. We believe in eternal progression and we believe that some day through the eons of time, we will have gained more and more knowledge. I presume that when that day comes that it will be our privilege to participate in the creation of "other worlds." This is something that we will learn in the eternities.
Sincerely,
Donny Osmond
