Episode Synopsis

Most people assume baptism for the dead has ancient roots—but it didn’t even exist in early Mormonism. In this epidsode, we trace the origins of the LDS temple ordinance and compare it to what the Bible really teaches.We’ll look at:The Book of Mormon’s warning against postmortem salvationJoseph Smith’s evolving revelations in the 1840sWhy 1 Corinthians 15:29 is not what the LDS Church claims it isAnd what the Bible says about death, judgment, and salvation⛔ Don’t miss why this doctrine is more dangerous than it seems.📖 Scriptures referenced:Alma 34:32–351 Corinthians 15:29Hebrews 9:272 Corinthians 6:2Luke 16:19–31Doctrine & Covenants 124, 128✝️ Trust in Christ—not temples or rituals—because eternity starts the moment you die.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.
