OK, Kevin. What do you think Paul was referring to? It would be my understanding that baptising for the dead was an illicit practice. Or was decided to be illict early in the post-Biblical history of the Church.

I'm not sure what Paul was talking about. However I was wondering why the Mormons practice it when their Scriptures clearly say that it is pointless.

The passage I posted from Alma says that whatever state the person dies in is the state they stay in.

Do you get a different sense when you read it?
