In a sense, when individuals deprive themselves through unworthiness and an unwillingness to repent, they experience damnation in that their spiritual progress is stopped and their blessings are forfeited. For this reason the apostle Paul taught that one who partakes of the sacrament unworthily “eateth and drinketh damnation to himself” (1 Corinthians 11:29; see also 3 Nephi 18:28–29). Likewise, the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith in this dispensation that “he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, . . . the same is damned” (D&C 58:29). Thus, escaping the effects of damnation, whether in mortal life or in eternity, requires faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance of sin, and obedience to the commandments, principles, and ordinances of the gospel.— LDS Beliefs
