--Now if we look at it from another angle, Glenn believes everything we need to know is included in the Bible (if I remember him correctly), and that the Lord has put everything necessary for salvation in the Bible. I would suggest that the Lord's
inclusion of baptism for the dead in the Bible is to prove that baptism IS a necessary covenant, and that the early Christians thought it was so important that they baptized their unbaptized dead relatives. That the passage was intended as evidence of
the resurrection, it certainly compliments the belief for the need of baptism for salvation.
