For example, [[prophets]] were foreordained to be the Lord's servants (see Jeremiah 1:5), all who receive the [[Priesthood (Latter Day Saints)|priesthood]] were foreordained to that calling, and Jesus was foreordained to enact the [[Atonement in Christianity|atonement]]. However, all such persons foreordained retain their agency in mortality to fulfill that foreordination or not. 

The LDS Church teaches the doctrine of moral [[Agency (LDS Church)|agency]], the ability to choose and act for oneself, and decide whether to accept Christ's atonement.<ref name="lds2">{{cite web|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/agency-and-accountability?lang=eng|title=Agency|publisher=churchofjesuschrist.org|access-date=29 November 2014}}</ref>
