Understanding Baptism for the Dead and Resurrection Hope

What did the apostle Paul mean when he wrote, “What will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?” (1 Corinthians 15:29, NKJV). Paul's words have sparked centuries of debate and even inspired one religious group to practice baptism on behalf of deceased individuals.

Dr. David K. Bernard provides biblical context, doctrinal clarity, and theological insight into this challenging passage in this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century.
