As far as baptism for the dead is concerned, it is a gift we offer to someone who has died — but it is up to them whether they accept it or not.

But my point is that some of these proxy baptisms are done on behalf of murderers, are they not?

And I know in the 19th century, Mormon rebaptism was heavily stressed (I'm not just talking about a Mormon convert being baptized in a Mormon church, but Mormons themselves undergoing more than one Mormon baptism as a sign of repentance or whatever)

Therefore, this Central CA murderer, still on the roles of the Mormon church as a member, could not his family have him "rebaptized" by proxy...and he could reinstate his "Mormonism" on the other side?

What? Where do you get that?

Scott Trotter, spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints release this statement yesterday:

Kenneth James Ward was a former member of the Church who resigned his membership in 2004.

He was excommunicated decades ago, came back to full fellowship, then resigned his membership over 5 years ago.

How does that make him “still on the rolls” of the church?
