1 | BAPTISIM OF THE DEAD | NT general Archive 1 | GeneralWAS | 769 | ||
1 Corinthians 15:29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? (NASB) What does this mean? Some have used this verse to attempt to be baptized for someone who has already died, so that they may have eternal life and be saved. Such doctrine is inconsistent with the rest of Scripture. Baptism, which comes after we recieve Jesus as our Savior and Lord, looks forward to our eternity in heaven. If none of this is true (heaven, eternal life, etc.), then our belief and baptism would be foolish. Praise be to God, that it ALL IS TRUE! Some early Christians may have deidicated their baptisms to those who had led them to Jesus who may have died or been killed. |

If God thought it important enough for this verse 1 Corinthians 15:29 to be noted in the bible, why is it that no christian churches (except the mormons) as far as I know, practice this? And if it was done by "early christians" why did it stop? |
