In the original doctrine of the LDS Church, the canonized Lecture on Faith #2, the first God are the Supreme government power is described as the "Father of lights." Lecture #5 then describes the Father as a "personage of spirit " and "glory."
The canonized D&C 131: 7-8 quotes Joseph Smith saying "There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes; We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter." From this we see that all matter are spirit-atoms.
Orson Pratt's summaried LDS theology from the Lectures on Faith to the D&C as there being "The Great God" or first divine power as as Spirit Atoms." Pratt argued that all things, including God and spirit (pneuma), are made of material particles or atoms. He believed that a spirit is as much matter as oxygen or hydrogen. From this perspective, the Holy Spirit was both a substance and function as well as a personage (which I explain here). Pratt described the Holy Spirit as a "diffused fluid substance." The 5th Lecture is focused on describing the Great God functioning as unifying spirit-atoms called Mind, as an Intelligent Fluid that is basically poured into Christians making them "one" with the Father and Son. He taught that each individual atom of this Spirit is intelligent, possessing "solidity, form, and size". From this perspective, the supreme power of Lecture #2 is Omnipresent through the fluid spirit-atoms that are in and through all material Forms. Unlike God the Father and God the Son, who have physical bodies and can only be in one place at a time, Pratt taught that the fluid Holy Spirit is omni-present because its intelligence-infused atoms are diffused throughout all space. Pratt believed these intelligent particles or atoms are in a constant state of action, behaving like "agents" that obey God's will. In a 1851 pamphlet, Pratt proposed a "Great First Cause" where these intelligent atoms or particles joined together to form a body over a long period, essentially describing a form of material evolution.

What we will see below is that this theology best explains the LDS Scripture Canon by my quoting a few scripture verses with my words in brackets and emphasis added:
“[You humans] were also in the beginning with the Father [see Lecture #2]; that which is Spirit [or spirit-atoms, as "intelligences" (Abraham 3)], even the Spirit of truth;” (D&C 93:23)
“The elements [spirit-atoms] are the tabernacle [Form] of God; yea, man is the tabernacle [Form] of God, even temples; ....” (D&C 93:35)
"There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes; We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter" (D&C 131: 7-8)
"I now send upon you another Comforter, even upon you my friends, that it may abide in your hearts, even the Holy Spirit of promise; ... This Comforter is the promise which I give unto you of eternal life, even the glory of the celestial kingdom [the Holy Spirit as spirit-atoms transforms one into a glorified celestial body]; Which glory [splendor] is that of the church [assembly] of the Firstborn, even of God [the God of Lecture #2], the holiest of all, through Jesus Christ his Son—He [God] that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things [through spirit-atoms], that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth [compare Lecture 2, "the Father of lights"]; Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made. As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made [as in the supreme governing Father of lights is in the Son who is a duplicateof the Father]; As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made; And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand. And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings; Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God [the Father of Lecture 2] to fill the immensity of space—The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things" (D&C 88: 3–13)
"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them" (Moses 7:18; compare Lecture #5 and #7).
“Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father [of lights] and the Son [as His duplicate twin Form]. In me [my divine genome via spirit-atoms] shall all mankind have [celestial] life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters.” (Ether 3:14)
“... he that will not believe my words will not believe me[Jesus]—that I am [the Form of God]; and he that will not believe me will not believe the Father who sent me. For behold, I am the Father [in duplicate form], I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world.” (Ether 4:12)
“Which Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God, infinite and eternal, without end. Amen. (D&C 20:28)
“I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified for the sins of the world, even as many as will believe on my name, that they may become the sons of God, even one in me as I am one in the Father, as the Father is one in me, that we may be one.” (D&C 35:2)
“And that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one—The Father because he gave me of his fulness [his divine genome/personage and spirit-atoms, see Lecture #5], and the Son because I was in the world and made flesh my tabernacle [form], and dwelt among the sons of men.” (D&C 93:3–4)
“And he [Jesus]received all power, both in heaven and on earth, and the glory [splendor] of the Father was with him, for he dwelt in him [the "supreme power" of Lecture 2, as omnipresent divine Mind (spirit-atoms) dwelt in/fomed Jesus's personage/form: for Jesus is the express/exact image of the Father per Lecture 5]” (D&C 93:17)
The Father dwells in (forms) Jesus in that Jesus is a duplicate Genome of the Father, an exact replica composed of spirit-atoms or the Spirit of the Father is in the Son. Spirit meaning God the Father's Mind/Fulness. Because Jesus is a twin genome of the Father, those who receive Jesus' divine genome poured into them as spirit-atoms partake of the divine nature and become "children of Christ" as reborn bodies composed of celestial spirit-matter capable of resurrection and exaltation in the throne room of the Father.
