Asbestosman, I think you are thinking of something different, but I have a question as well about your comment:
[snip]
Is the 'new name' alluded to here, the same as the new name one recieves in the temple? It doesn't seem so from this description, so are there two "new names" one should recieve, the second being given on actual admittance to the Celestial Kingdom (along with a side of peepstone)? If so, then why does one need one for the reasons given in verse 10 "whereby things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known," since presumably in the Celestial Kingdom one will have this knowledge already. Verse 10 makes the "white stone with new name" sound like something needed in earth more than in heaven...
Please forgive me for not commenting much further on the matter. Looking back I think my scripture was only tangentially related to Celestial Kingdom's question as I think most here agree.
No problem.
But I'm kind of still wondering about the new name business anyway...
