Baptisms for the Dead
As Paul asked the Corinthians, why are you doing this if you don’t believe in the resurrection – 1 Cor. 15:29 – so we’re asking the Mormon people;
Why do you call yourself Christians if you don’t believe God’s Holy Spirit resides inside you, negating the need for a temple built with hands? Acts 17:24
And where in scripture does God tell anyone to baptize dead people inside a temple? The Israelites would have done no such thing!

that just another way to get people to pay there tithing and go to the temple and feel good..they want your money and this is just the way they make you feel good
From what I understand, people don’t like doing that and stay away from the temple. I may be wrong. Do they, for the most part, like it? Or, do they do this because it is required?
Couldn’t play the video… But then again, I don’t really need to. As a 14 year old “Teacher” in the Aaronic priesthood, we were shuffled into the Los Angeles temple and each of us were repeatedly dunked for 15 different dead people.
and people try to claim that “water-boarding” is torture… I remember the assembly line type of ritual it was.
“I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost FOR, insert name here”… dunk!
I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost FOR, insert name here”… dunk!
I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost FOR, insert name here”… dunk!
15 times in a row! They had a television monitor at the edge of the “golden bowl sitting on 12 oxen” baptismal font and the names of the dead people would flash up on the screen for the dunker to read…
Ahh, memories… wish I didn’t have them!
