Eternal Increase.  The ability of qualified Mormons who have become gods to procreate throughout eternity in the celestial kingdom.  This will give them access to unlimited spirit children. According to Joseph Smith, “Those who are married by the power and authority of the priesthood in this life, and continue without committing the sin against the Holy Ghost, will continue to increase and have children in the celestial glory” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 301).
