:1. Where did the question come from? The Greek just makes up questions <ref>{{bgw|Tit 3:9}}  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.</ref> We wish to ensure that we are seeking to know God, not merely satisfy curiosities.

:2. The source?  Collect scriptures which speak of baptism for the dead. This is where collaboration starts. The [[Rules for interpretation]] say that it must be a complete study: [[Rule - Complete]]  It is unlikely that one would know all the references in both the literal and 2nd books. Ask for help in finding more. But since one does not know what is not known, the [[Rule - Humility]] applies.
