TIME magazine reports a ninety-minute interview with President Spencer Kimball. The article reports that President Kimball's version of the process leading to the change [allowing Blacks to hold the priesthood] was much more "matter of fact" than the sensational speculations circulating in Salt Lake City: "I spent a good deal of time in the temple alone, praying for guidance, and there was a gradual and general development of the whole program, in connection with the Apostles." The article says that President Kimball "says flatly that Mormonism no longer holds to . . . a theory" that blacks had been denied the priesthood "because they somehow failed God during their pre-existence."

Only Jesus Christ our blessed Savior, Redeemer, and King had a pre-mortal existance. All others who lived on the earth had their souls or spirits created in the womb of their mothers at conception. See Zech.12:1, 1st Cor.15:46, and John 8:58.
