Mormons
and Baptizing for the Dead - What is the Catholic Reply?
Dr.
Taylor Marshall
We
have a Mormon running for President of the United States, and many people are learning more and more the heretical
doctrines of the Mormons.
- Mormons
are polytheists (they believe in many gods, not one God).
- Mormons
believe that the god of our galaxy (whom they identify with the Father of
Scripture) has a wife-goddess
- Mormons
believe that this god (whom they identify with the Father) was once a
human and that he still has flesh and bones
- Mormons
have an invalid baptism since they deny the doctrine of the Holy Trinity
- Mormons
have a secret rites
- Mormons
have baptisms for the dead
This
last error, baptisms for the dead, is derived from Saint Paul's words in
1 Corinthians:
“Otherwise,
what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again
at all? Why are they then baptized for them?” (1 Corinthians 15:29, D-R)
Mormons
claim that this verse proves that the original Apostles baptized living people
on behalf of dead people so that the dead might be redeemed.
How
does the Catholic respond to this error?
