   Did you think that I would want an opportunity to slip by concerning wacky reconsiderations maybe now confronting The Mormon Church and that severe lack of any good leadership.

   Why would you baptize an infant? Are Infants sinners? What sins can an infant commit? The infant is with out sin in my opinion
   Some infants are born as heirs to earthly kingdoms like Princes Dianna/s son who will be king of England perhaps. Others are born into less privileged status or even poverty. Nevertheless Infants are born without sin. What they do with there lives makes the difference to mankind and God.
   A person who is accountable for his actions, can decide to do a wrong or a right can also decide to be baptized or not.
   If there is life in the great here after and if there is a need for a baptism it seems logical that a just God would make a baptism available to the righteous dead like the Temple Baptisms you referenced the Mormons do.
   It seems logical , those who died in infancy or those with severe learning disabilities that were incapable of sin need no baptism and perhaps that is what the atonement of Christ is all about. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. The last in this life, those who die in infancy, or those adults who are severely mentally retarded, will be the first in the next one.
   Some faiths practice infant baptisms some do not. Both feel justified. The mormons baptize at the age of 8 the very beginning of accountability as directed in there scriptures the Book of Mormon.

   Some misunderstand baptism for the dead and suppose that deceased souls “are being baptised into the Mormon faith without their knowledge” as Ben Fenton indicated in his publication…..or that “people who once belonged to other faiths can have the Mormon faith retroactively imposed on them.” as Greg Stott said in his publication……
   This assumes that SOMEHOW the LDS have the power to force a soul in matters of faith. Of course, we do not. God has given man his agency from the beginning – we cannot reverse that gift.
   LDS scripture – D&C 138:58 says “The dead who repent will be redeemed, through obedience to the ordinances of the house of God,” …..but only if they accept those ordinances. The LDS Church does not list them on its rolls, nor do we count them in its membership.
   We are anxious to provide opportunity for acceptance of these ordinances to the dead, but it remains – ALWAYS – their choice.
   The time and resources we put behind that commitment are an expression of our witness concerning Jesus Christ:
   It is as powerful a statement as we can make concerning His divine character and mission.
   It testifies of Christ’s Resurrection; of the infinite reach of His Atonement; that He is the sole source of salvation; that He has established prerequisite conditions for salvation; and that He will come again.
   Most baptisms for the dead are requested by family members for their own ancestors and family lines.

   The Bible said that it was necessary to be baptized by both water and the spirit. Baptism should be by immersion by one having authority for those who are over the age of accountability. Those who did not receive the ordinances in mortality may accept or reject the proxy work on their behalf. They may also accept or reject the proxy sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

   Yep.
   Why?
   1) We are commanded to.
   2) Baptism without the proper authority is not valid
   (Infant baptism is a BIG no-no, by the way.)
   We believe that after this life, a person still has the opportunity to accept or reject the gospel – if they weren’t taught it during this life, or didn’t have all the knowledge to accept it during this life. God has to be fair. Let’s say 500 years ago, there was a remote group of people. They barely new of the outside world, had no bible, didn’t have a clue who Christ was. Now, most Christian religions would say those people just go to hell. I believe God is WAY more and perfectly fair than that. Those people will have the opportunity to have the gospel taught to them. They will also then have the opportunity to accept or reject the ordinances done on their behalf.
   What people don’t understand is, when we perform the proxy ordinances, that person isn’t “automatically Mormon”. They still have the choice. We know that. We don’t baptize hoping to increase our numbers. They aren’t even added to church membership records. The reason we do the ordinances is so IF they DO accept the gospel, their ordinances (which are earthly ordinances) are done.
   People seem to forget God allows us our free will. He isn’t going to force anyone to be a Mormon or any other religion just because we did their baptism. It’s still up to them to decide.

   huh?
   Of couse not, but what is an unbaptism anyway?
   Perhaps you should start by reading up fom an LDS source about baptism for the dead because it seems as if you’re not really sure what you’re talking about.

7. history. on February 18th, 2010 at 3:39 pm

   Absolutely.
   God only recognizes Mormon rituals. He’s very technical and picky.

   We are instructed to only baptized those that are submitted by their descendents or relatives.
