We've been taught that it is very difficult to deny/sin against the Holy Ghost. Alma, in speaking with Corianton, told him that the three worse sins were sexual sin, murder and denying the Holy Ghost (from bad to worst).
Joseph Smith stated that one would have to have a full knowledge of Jesus Christ, and then become his absolute enemy, killing the innocent, and loving evil, to be a Son of Perdition. As far we we know, the only person who has certainly achieved that title in mortality is Cain.
Most of us mortals will deal with escaping the punishments awaiting those who deserve the Telestial Kingdom. These are individuals who oppose God on many levels, but just not on the deepest level. These ARE the adulterers and murderers.
