Today,
reply is on death, marriage, and water baptism as a divine tool for
continuing and extending life through ones heir. For many, water
baptism is a divine process wherein sinners experience birth, and
begin a new life having divine DNA, so to speak. More correct,
however, is the understanding that sinners are granted a new death,
and will exist as joint heirs with Jesus Christ, joined to him
through his resurrection from the dead. Because, according to
covenant law, the primary heir receives a double portion of the goods
and property that belonged to the deceased, the heirs are equipped to
complete the unfinished business of the dead, and continue or create
a new name (reputation) for the dead. Redemption, therefore, may be
understood as the recovery of ones sacred inheritance, family name,
and reputation for righteousness through the interventions of a
kinsman and joint heir. The fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers”

What
does I Corinthians 15:29 mean in comparison to Romans 6:3-4?
Update:
SCRIPTURE (((WITNESSES))) SCRIPTURE! YOU (((MUST))) BE "RESURRECTED"
FROM YOUR "DEAD SPIRIT" (ROMANS 5:12) "BY WHICH ALSO
YE ARE (((SAVED)))..." (I CORINTHIANS 15:2) (V17) "AND IF
CHRIST BE NOT RAISED, YOUR FAITH IS VAIN; YE ARE (((YET))) IN YOUR
SINS."
Update
2: YOU CANT (((CHANGE))) THE WORD OF GOD! YOU CAN DENY IT, BUT YOU'RE
A LYING HYPOCRITE WHO IS (((THE ANTICHRIST)))!!!
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a
ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto
him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no
man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can
he enter the second time into his mother’s
womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not
that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3: 1-7, King
James Version, KJV)

“GRANNY
NORINE”, here are some points mature Christian believers are
careful to consider when reading 1st Corinthians 15: 29,
King James Version (KJV): 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?
1.
Bearing children for the dead and the duty of Levirate marriage (a
brother marries the widowed sister-in-law, and impregnates her to
provide an heir to the deceased) was used as a device to maintain and
stabilize the economy of Israel as a covenant nation. The
transformation for the 12 nomadic tribes of Jacob required divine
allotments and patterns for inheritance that were to be preserved
forever. Conflicts, disputes and tribal warfare over the ownership
of the land would be eliminated.
2.
The family name of a man who died childless and without an heir
would cease to appear in the records and roles of Israel. Having no
heir he would be the last to receive the blessing of GOD granted to
his ancestor; and the entire line would be “cut off” from their
people.
3.
Water baptism makes visible more than a divine, unseen removal and
washing away of ones sins. There is the death, burial, and
resurrection from the dead for ones inborn spirit. Thus, baptism for
the dead is a form of rebirth that provides a family name and
reputation with a new life.
The
following points are helpful when reading Romans 6: 3-4, KJV: 3
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by
baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of
life.
1.
Just as the birth of Jesus Christ was a sacred event (we say,
miracle), the rebirth and transformation of a sinner to exist as a
companion to divinity, an offspring of GOD, and a joint heir with the
Lord is also a sacred event. In the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, the
savior is conceived through the Holy Spirit within the body of a
virgin, and thereby joined to mankind. Similarly, spirit content
from the makeup of GOD and Christ is imparted to live within the
sinner, who is thereby joined to Christ.
2.
Rather than being joined to Christ through an act of reproduction or
his birth, the sinner who is released from sin through death is
joined to Christ by his―not
their own―resurrection.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 3. Through baptism sinners receive
divine seed (e.g., faith, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness,
wisdom) from the makeup of GOD, are “born again,” and must “grow
up again” becoming mature/ripe for harvest at the Advent of Jesus
(the Second Coming). As “developing believers” these followers
of Christ receive a new name (reputation), and are his “new
creation.”) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it
unto you according to your faith.
