"Baptism for the Dead" is one of the most significant practices for Latter-day Saints. According to this doctrine, those who have already died can have proxy baptisms performed on their behalf by living Latter-Day saints. 1 Corinthians 15:29 is often cited as a proof text for this practice, but is LDS Baptism for the dead a Biblical practice?
1 Corinthians 15:29 - "Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?"
In Corinth, there were certain people who denied that believers in Christ will be raised from the dead, and Paul argues that if “dead people cannot come back to life, then Jesus could not have come back to life! And if Christ was not resurrected, our faith is 'futile' and we-Christians-are to be pitied for our beliefs!"
So 1 Corinthians 15 isn’t really about baptism at all, but the centrality of resurrection in the Christian faith.
