The context of 1 Corinthians 15:29 is the idea of being baptized for a savior who didn’t rise from the dead, IF the dead be not raised. Context, context, context.

BINGO!!!

so your interpretation makes sense to me even if the mormons may use that same scriptural passage as a basis for their practice of proxy baptisms. just a difference in interpretation. i have had some mormons relate to me that baptisms for the dead were performed in much earlier biblical times.
