now, if you read tht passage carefully, you would see that some of the saints in corinth were doubting the resurrection. hence, the apostle Paul asking them if the dead dont rise, why do they do the baptism...meaning that the dead would someday rise. remember what Jesus Christ did between the time he was crucified and resurrected...He went to preach to the spirits in priosn. why? theat they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. remember: if a man isnt born of water and the spirit, then he cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven. what about those who have died without having a chance to even hear about the Gospel? im here and africa right now, andi have met tons of ppl who have not even hear about Jesus Christ. so how can they be help accountable for not being baptised if they didnt have a chance to be baptised, or even have faith? hence the original church of Jesus Christ, and the restored church of Jesus Christ does baptisms for the dead.
