BAPTISM OF THE DEAD!? IS THAT REALLY A THING?
Just to clarify, Mormons do not drag corpses into their temples for this ritual of theirs. But their practice of baptism for the dead is still a non-biblical belief. Mormons do it as a supposed means of making a public profession of faith "on behalf" of a person that is already deceased. Here's the obvious problem: we don't accept infant baptism as a means of salvation because an infant can't make a confession of faith. When the baby fails to accept or reject Jesus, you just get a wet baby. As Protestants, that's why we reject infant baptism.
Secondly, at least infants are alive. So as a discerning Christian, if you reject baby baptism, wouldn’t you say dead folks profess no faith? And if they do, run! As a supposed Christian religion, why would Mormonism have a weird ritual for a dead person when there are only two outcomes at the moment of death: heaven or hell. And you stay there since it can’t be reversed.
But today it’s popular to soften the harshness of hell. Saying a corpse can have a second chance, may sound good, and work better for recruiting followers, but it eliminates the reality of hell as THE huge motivator to be saved during your only chance, which is while alive. When the Mormon follower doesn’t get saved because they’ll just wait for their second chance when their kids baptize their corpse, who in the Mormon organization will take responsibility for teaching them

WHILE SYMBOLICALLY IMPORTANT, IS BAPTISM NEEDED FOR SALVATION? What about a newly saved person who gets in a fatal car wreck before making it to their baptism? What about the man next to Jesus on the cross? Because of his faith, Jesus said he’d be in heaven that day. But he and Christ had no time to hop off their crosses and baptize the man when no one was looking. Paul said God sent him, not primarily to baptize, but to preach the gospel. If baptism is needed for salvation, why would Paul say that? It would have been ludicrous. That kind of teaching is the mark of a cult. Titus 3:5 declares, "God saved us—not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to His mercy, through the
washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” | image tagged in baptize,baptism,jesus,salvation,heaven,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
