Baptism for the Dead: When Did Mormonism Start Doing This?

1 view,

Most people assume baptism for the dead has ancient roots—but it didn’t even exist in early Mormonism. In this epidsode, we trace the origins of the LDS temple ordinance and compare it to what the Bible really teaches.

We’ll look at:

The Book of Mormon’s warning against postmortem salvation
Joseph Smith’s evolving revelations in the 1840s
Why 1 Corinthians 15:29 is not what the LDS Church claims it is
And what the Bible says about death, judgment, and salvation
⛔ Don’t miss why this doctrine is more dangerous than it seems.

📖 Scriptures referenced:

Alma 34:32–35
1 Corinthians 15:29
Hebrews 9:27
2 Corinthians 6:2
Luke 16:19–31
Doctrine & Covenants 124, 128

✝️ Trust in Christ—not temples or rituals—because eternity starts the moment you die.
