So? My cousin “baptized” my late uncle and her father, into Mormonism over three decades ago. Only the idiots of the family got mad about it.

It is an attempt for the living to offer the dead the opportunity to salvation as a Mormon. It offers hope for the living that their deceased relatives will be able to enter Heaven as a baptized Morman - nothing more.

Got a problem with it? Are you one of my idiot relatives?

This madness couple with the fact that Mitt Romney wears what he thinks of as magic clothing, will make the man look insane once the media starts on him, and the fact that he was a Bishop inside of this madness, will stun voters.

Oh how sad for you that you are from a family of idiots when you are just a moron.
Baptism for the dead is unBiblical.

It would be nice if there were an opportunity to change your mind in hell, but the Bible gives no indication that this will be possible. Hebrews 9:27 says we are all "destined to die once, and after that to face judgment."

Another passage that seems to shut the door to a "second chance" is a parable Jesus told in Luke 16:19-31. The parable was about a rich man who died and went to hell. In his agony, the rich man looked up to heaven and cried out for mercy. In response to his cries, the man was told a chasm separated heaven and hell—a chasm that could never be crossed.

As hard as it is to hear, eternal separation from God is the punishment for people who don't accept Christ as Lord and Savior. But please understand that it's not God's desire for anyone to spend eternity in hell. As it says in 2 Peter 3:9, "He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

I'd be willing to bet that your relatives selected you as the idiot relative.

You need to get your mind right.

And apologize to your relatives.

That may be even more rediculous than the concept of Purgatory.

The problem is that the Mormons do this without the consent of the relatives involved. They scour their data bases like ancestry.com for names of deceased and mass baptize them. This us 95% of the activity inside a Mormon temple.
The thousands of Holocaust victims the Mormons baptized were obviously done without permission.
This Mormon thing is a killer for a candidate. It is a cult, not a Christian denomination.
Remember where it says “befare false prophets”?
