Because we believe that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer, we also accept His
authority to establish the conditions by which we may receive His grace.
Otherwise we would not concern ourselves with being baptized for the dead.
Jesus confirmed that “strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life” (Matthew 7:14). Specifically, He said, “Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”
(John 3:5). This mean... 阅读全帖 |

As regards the Resurrection, Paul asked, “Else what shall they do which are

baptized for the dead?” (1 Corinthians 15:29). We are baptized for the dead
because we know that they will rise. “The soul shall be restored to the
body, and the body to the soul; yea, and every limb and joint shall be
restored to its body; yea, even a hair of the head shall not be lost; but

这里是12使徒之一的弟兄，讲解为什么我们为死人受浸。以下是一些节选：
Christian theologians have long wrestled with the question, What is the
destiny of the countless billions who have lived and died with no knowledge
of Jesus? With the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ has come the
understanding of how the unbaptized dead are redeemed and how God can be “a
perfect, just God, and a merciful God also” (Alma 42:15).
