I Corinthians 15:29-44I Corinthians 15:29-32Several baptisms are mentioned in the New Testament:I Corinthians 10:1-3 – baptism of Moses and Israelites in the seaMatthew 3:11 – baptism of the Holy Spirit and fireMatthew 3:6 – baptism of John the BaptistEphesians 4:4-6 – baptism of the New Covenant. This is a command and not a promiseLuke 12:50; Mark 10:38-40 – baptism of sufferingWater baptism is not in this context. Suffering is.“for the dead” – “for” here could be used in the sense of “to fill the ranks.”I Corinthians 15:33-34 – This seems to be specifically directed to those who believed in the resurrection as a warning against close companionship with those who did not believe in the resurrection. Those who did not believe in the resurrection were living sinful lives as it says in I Corinthians 15:32: “Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die.”I Corinthians 15:35-44 – The resurrected body is an immortal body. We do not yet know what it will be like.
