The individual who never had the opportunity to receive baptism will have that choice.

The wicked aren't going to accept baptism.

Could you explain your statement a bit more?

Well, maybe first of all you could tell me what the importance of baptism is for the Mormon.

In my tradition, Independent Baptist, baptism is merely a symbol of the Salvation that has already been affected at the time the Believer accepted Christ as his Saviour. Baptism in and of itself has no salvific effects.

I'm intriged by this particular statement. Are you referring to someone wicked, who's also dead? Does this indicate those dead (feel free to deliniate this subgroup further if needed to answer) are given the choice of accepting or rejecting the baptism done (on their behalf) by the living?
