re: #326 Sionainn

I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that this ties in with all the genealogy work that the LDS do. I think the original purpose was to track one’s own family back as far as they could to be able to do these types of baptisms for their own ancestors.

If somebody wants to pray for my recovery when I am ill, than that is fine with me, I find it a nice gesture even though I don’t believe it will have much influence on my recovery.

If somebody want to pray for the conversion of dead people, then let them, I find it a pointless gesture because I do not believe that they can have any influence on what happens after a person dies.
