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.

Where can we find performing baptism for the dead in the bible?
Some believe that 1 Corinthians 15:29 ("Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead?") indicates that baptisms for the dead was a practice anciently while others interpret this verse to mean that being baptized is a way of showing that you believe in life after death. Other verses, such as John 5:25 and 1 Peter 4:6, indicate that the gospel is preached among the dead. If this is literally speaking of the deceased and not the dead in spirit, it is not out of order to assume that there must be some sort of baptism for these Christians who accept Christ after death. Outside of the Bible, Christian history shows evidence that baptisms in behalf of the dead were performed in the very early days of the Church. There is evidence that the Montanites and Marcionites (both early Christian groups) had a similar practice. Additionally, the practice of baptism for the dead was condemned in 393 AD by the Council of Hippo, which is evidence that it must have been done.
