I'm a Baptist. I'm gonna stay a Baptist. But if, after I die, some Mormon wants to be baptized in my name, they have my permission. they can neither help nor hurt me as I'll be dead and in God's arms.
come to think of it, I'm in God's arms right now, so they can go right ahead.
Some people are just too sensitive to what others are doing, and some are just trouble-makers.
Thank you for making my point in your post. If people think it’s a bunch of hooey (LDS doctrine) - and this woman obviously does - then why do they care? It would mean nothing.
I am a Mormon. In our faith, we believe that people get a second chance after death to accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Most other religions believe that you either go to Heaven or Hell and that’s it . . . forever. No hope. In our Church, we believe that those who have accepted the Gospel and who have obeyed the Commandments on earth will receive their righteous reward in Heaven. Those who did not accept the Gospel and/or who did not obey the Commandments go to a place called “spirit prison” which is not a bad place but a place where they are stuck unless/until someone living on the earth has compassion and the wherewithal to take their case and offer them the opportunity to put Jesus Christ and His Atoning Sacrifice at the center of their universe. St. Paul spoke of the different levels of heaven. In 1 Cor. 15:29 Paul says, “Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?” If you do not believe this is real, then it means nothing. This is what we believe. In the Temples we make covenants with Heavenly Father. The first time we go to the Temple it is for ourselves. Every other time we attend the Temple it is for someone else. Most often, we go through the Temple for people we don’t even know.
I don’t know why this infuriates people so much. They are protesting WAY too much and some are obsessed.
