re: #43 Sergey Romanov

Generally christian denominations believe once you die, it’s too late to save your soul. (“Anyone who rejects the Holy Spirit’s convicting influence and does not repent will not be forgiven, ‘neither in this world, neither in the world to come’”. ) I guess the Mormon baptizing the dead rituals is sort of similar to the catholic beliefs re: purgatory, a belief which is a handy way for the church to make some money. I wonder if the Mormon church charges a fee for their after-death baptismals or if they’re doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.
