AO - Is there sin unto death? [∞]
▸ ± 1 John 5:16 "If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Let's collect some sources: Is there a baptism for the dead? ▸ ± 1Co 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? This is the verse that many use to justify their own practice of proxy baptisms; being baptized on behalf of a dead person. Rather than argue with them, we apply the Rules for interpretation [1]: 1. Rule - Rigorous [2] We are not permitted to make an interpretation with only one verse. 2. Rule - Complete [3] It is a lazy interpretation since there is no attempt to sum up and include everything the Bible says about it. 3. Rule - Self examination [4] When we start with a practice and attempt to justify it with scripture, our thought pattern is backwards. |
