Baptism for the dead is an ordinance that is performed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and perhaps some other churches. Many believe that baptism for the dead is not a true Christian concept because they believe God himself said in the Bible that the dead will no longer have anything to do with anything under the sun. Others argue that 1 Corinthians 15:29 clearly shows that baptisms were performed for the dead in the first century Christian Church and therefore should be practiced today. Most who practice baptism for the dead do so because they believe that only the baptized may enter heaven, and they want all to have the opportunity to enter heaven, even if they did not have the opportunity to during mortality.

Eucharist (Communion) is one of the four sacraments of initiation along with Baptism, Reconciliation and Confirmation; it is called a Sacrament of the living as you must be in a state of grace to worthily receive it. Sacraments such as Baptism and Penance are "Sacraments of the dead" because you are dead in your sins when you receive them, and they restore you to a state of life.
