Talking Universalism , Mormons take it a step farther reaching back to devotee's dead ancestors offering Baptisms for their posthumous salvation . Now this is a neat trick you must agree but with Jesus all things are possible ...or we could also say what a nice way to gather believers from poorer less educated cultures ? Whatever works huh greg, nice luxury bathing pool huh ? ;o) The temple also contains a gleaming baptismal font. Though it’s a point of pride for Mormons, it has been controversial elsewhere. A church ceremony called “proxy baptisms” by Mormons includes posthumous baptisms of Jews, some of whom have protested the practice. The baptismal font at the newest Mormon temple. However, in Mormon doctrine, baptism is essential for salvation. While converts to the faith are baptized in services at local wards, the weekly meeting place for services open to the public, proxy baptisms take place only in the temple and in private. The proxy baptisms are supposed to be for Mormons’ ancestors who were not of the faith. Walker said the baptism serves as an invitation to accept Mormonism as an avenue into heaven.
