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.

Okay...I've broken my rule.

This is absolutely crazy talk, Norm.

So..I ask you, what did The Son Of God die for.....if you guy's can just baptize the dead?

Are you actually really okay with this? Because you all are basically saying Jesus Christ died for nothing.

Wow...!!

Hi Osage,

Yes, I am OK with baptism for the dead.

We believe sacrifice of Jesus Christ is universal in its effect and applies to the living and the dead.

Those who don’t get the chance to hear the gospel in this life will hear it in the next world and will have the opportunity for baptism through baptisms for the dead.

I think it is very fair and in keeping with the merciful and just character of God.

Best regards,

Normandy
