And I thought I gave it to you .
In Rom 6:3 reads , Or are you IGNORANT , that as many as were BAPTIZED into CHRIST JESUS were BAPTIZED into
His Death , than explain how tou were BAPTIZED // PLACED into Christ and BAPTIZED // PLACED into His DEATH , PRAY TELL.
Here is the KICKER in verse 3 , that the GREEK word ( BAPTIZED ) in the GREEK TEXT is the GREEK word ,
BAPTISMA and this Greek WORD is used 22 times , from MATT 3 :7 and used in Eph 4:5 that says , ONE LORD
ONE FAITH , ONE // HEIS , and all the ONES are HEIS in the Greek text , and ONE BAPTISMA , and that ONE BAPTISMA
is the HOLY SPIRIT ,
Then in 1 Cor 10:2 And all were BAPTIZED TOGETHER , unto Moses in the CLOUD and in the SEA , how where are three
baptized together ,
And what the CLOUD and SEA , represent ??

And in Rom 6:3 and still believe in BAPTISM or WATER BAPTISM , it sats
1 Corintians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Paul is addressing those that believe there is no resurrection
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
Our faith is based on the death burial and resurrection of Christ. If that did not happen peaching that it did would be a waste of time.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
Paul is affirming the Gospel that Christ was crucified, buried and rose from the dead.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
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?
Contrary to the false teachings of the Mormon church all this verse is saying is that, if Christ did not rise from the dead it would be pointless to be baptized for a Christ still in the grave. There is no scriptural doctrine of anyone being baptized for a dead reletive or anyone else.
