| An early Christian baptistery in the shape of a cross. |
“Else
what will those being baptized for the dead do?
If in fact the dead are not raised, why indeed are they being baptized
for them?”
(1 Cor. 15:29)
Q: I
noticed that this verse says something about baptizing for the dead. What does that mean? –Tammie H.
A: The short answer is that nobody knows for
sure. The long answer is that they were probably being baptized for
believers who had died before they were baptized.*
