Baptized for the dead?

March 3, 2005 Pastor Greg Allen 0

I have a question about 1 Corinthians 15:29. In the New International Version, this verse reads, “Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are to raised at all, why are people baptized for them?” I have been confused in the past by Mormon teaching on this verse; and I still get twisted around by it. It sounds as if this verse is saying that, if people are going to be raised from the dead, then it’s okay to be baptized for the dead. What does this verse really mean?

Revelations Questions

May 23, 2004 Pastor Greg Allen 0

November 3, 2003 Pastor Greg Allen 0

In Habakkuk 1:13, the prophet says that God is “of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness,” and yet, in Job 1 and 2 Satan not only enters into the presence of God, but carries on a conversation with Him. How do we reconcile Hab. 1:13 and Job 1 and 2?

The Role of "Elders" in the Church?

May 20, 2002 Angella Diehl Webmaster 0

The Bible talks about “elders” in the church. Are these official positions in the church, or are they just people who are recognized as more mature members of a local church family? How do “elders” relate to other “appointed positions” in the church such as “pastors”?

Which Bible?

January 2, 2002 Pastor Greg Allen 0

What Bible do you recommend, and what is this Gender-neutral version I been hearing about? It all sound nice, but wouldn’t that alter the real meaning of what the Bible is saying?
