‘A Difficult Text.’
1 Corinthians 15:29.
a) Apostle Paul did not condone or permit people being baptised for other people who were already dead.
b) This was a fact that this heretical baptism was taking place.
c) Even the non believers believed in a resurrection from the dead.
d) It should not be a hard thing for the intellectual Corinthian Believers to believe in the Resurrection of Christ and of True Believers, for it is what Christ Himself taught.

It does us good to ponder over the Scriptures. We sometimes need to ask ourselves the question: What does the Bible really say? Heresy begins when we take things too much for granted without searching the Scriptures for ourselves, not only searching them but pondering over them. We do not need to imagine something, or visualise anything. Just pray, read, ponder, pray and obey.
