From the article: On this day – April 4, 1981 (32 years ago) – Mormon church president-”prophet” Spencer W. Kimball made an announcement about what the three-fold MISSION was of the Mormon church. In other words, these three things were not “minor fair,” and the first two were not surprising for any given “church” (proclaim the gospel, and perfect the saints). What was the third part? Per Kimball, it was to “redeem the dead.” (Source: On This Day in the Church: An Illustrated Almanac of the Latter-day Saints, Eagle Gate Publishing, Salt Lake City, 2000, p. 65) A previous string of Mormon “prophets” – John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Joseph F. Smith and Joseph Fielding Smith -- certainly heavily inculcated the idea among Mormons that “saviors” of the dead were plural...In other words, they weren’t talking about Jesus Christ as being “THE” Savior of the dead!

In before the mormonic defenders who categorize disagreement as hate... probably liberals.

A proxy baptism was performed on Anne Frank on February 18, 2012, according to Mormon church records.
The truth is, every person is responsible for his/her own salvation, by grace, through faith in the finished job of Jesus on the Cross!

Nope. You get one chance. Joseph Smith was just a man who is deader than a doornail now and his soul is awaiting resurrection and judgement.

There is only ONE Savior and He was NOT a mormon.

Since I’m not a Mormon...do I still get my own planet?
I’d like some in the temperate to tropical...beaches and nice lagoons.

Mark W. Hofmann, left, and LDS Church leaders N. Eldon Tanner, Spencer W. Kimball, Marion G. Romney, Boyd K. Packer and Gordon B. Hinckley examine the Anthon transcript April 22, 1980.
As you know, both Mr. Kimball (cited as an authority in your article) and Mr. Hinckley were named as presidents, prophets, seers and revelators to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Per Kimball, it was to “redeem the dead.”Hell!
Mormonism can't even 'redeem' the LIVING!
By it's own figures; only about 15% of all MORMONs are going to make it to the TOP level of MORMON 'heaven'; where their GOD will dwell!
The rest of the poor saps will be left in Level Two - along with Christians - without the presence of their precious Forever Family (well; 85% of them will be there).

Baptism for the dead is a complete waste of time.
"For it is appointed once for man to die, and then the judgment."
