As I said, I find Baptism for the Dead quaint because of its sincerity, although from a NT perspective, mostly non-Biblical...being non-Christian myself, however, I find ALL baptism to be unnecessary, since I accept the Torah’s teaching that Man enters the world free of sin and we sin because of our imperfections...magritte

If you don't mind me asking.....
According to your beliefs do you believe anyone escapes sin? What is the penalty for sin? Is there anyway to be cleansed from your sin?

"That don't make NO sense!"
If we're born SINLESS - WHERE did the imperfectionbs come from?

...I accept the Torah’s teaching that Man enters the world free of sin ...I guess David was a bit mistaken here then:
Psalm 51
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
