When John A. Tvedtnes, for instance, asked Apostle Harold B. Lee in a Salt Lake Temple missionary question-and-answer session, if the "second endowment" existed and, "if so, what connection does it have with the Holy Spirit of Promise, and who receives it and why and how?", Lee answered, "You don't have to worry. You've received all the ordinances necessary for exaltation. .. . It is a special blessing given by the President of the Church to men who have been called. It is not necessary to receive it, however. You have all the endowment you need to be exalted." John A. Tvedtnes, Journal, 30 June 1961; recounted by permission.
