Apostle Paul Misconceptions

110 Words1 Page

One somewhat controversial topic that I had a few people ask me is baptizing the deceased. Baptisms where done for the decease during the time of Apostle Paul, and so the church reestablished it. This was done before and now can be done again, but only if the friends or family members of the deceased want it done. The misconception has been that the church would just go and do it without any permission, and then use it to add the number of people in their church. There are two records within the church though, one of the living, and the other of deceased so those numbers don 't get counted.
