<P><b>THE CURRENT TEACHING OF THE MORMON CHURCH:</b></P>
|
|
<p>Baptism for the dead is necessary for salvation.</p>
|
|
<div class="center">"This doctrine presents in a clear light the wisdom and mercy of God in preparing an ordinance for the salvation of the dead, being baptized by proxy, their names recorded in heaven and they judged according to the deeds done in the body. This doctrine was the burden of the scriptures. Those Saints who neglect it in behalf of their deceased relatives, do it at the peril of their own salvation."<br><br> (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Joseph F. Smith, Pg. 193</div>
