Why do Mormons perform baptisms for the dead?
Vinson answered...

As a temple ordinance worker for the Mesa Temple for the past 5 years, I have grown in appreciation for the temple and the ordinances that are preformed. I believe that those who have passed-on are given the opportunity to accept the work that is performed in their behalf as if they were here - physically. The initial ordinance of accepting Jesus Christ is baptism. The ordinance of baptism is performed as it was originally by John the Baptist for Jesus in the temple by emersion. The temple gives those that have passed-on the opportunity to accept the mission of Jesus Christ and all the ordinances that he performed. Show more Show less

It is important to me especially since I have family members who aren't members, or those who have passed on without being able to accept the gospel. We do baptisms for the dead to give those who have passed on an option of accepting the gospel in the next life. It is still their choice whether they want to or not, we simply do baptisms by proxy so that they can have the opportunity to follow in Christ's footsteps. Show more Show less

Is it true that Jesus appeared in North America after his crucifixion and resurrection according to the Book of Mormon?
Tanner answered...

It is indeed true. He came and blessed the sick, comforted the downtrodden, and preached His gospel among the people of this continent. It's an example of how God loves all of us, not just a select few. The Book of Mormon is our opportunity to relieve those moments, and it's also the sealing evidence that not only is Jesus Christ really our Savior, but that this is His church that He founded. All who want to know more about this can read the Book of Mormon (online at lds.org or by ordering a free physical copy) and pray, asking God if it really is a true book. You may not see an angel or hear a thunderclap, but trust me, you'll feel that it really is true, and that Christ really did visit the Americas. I know I've felt it. Show more Show less
