What does Paul mean when he refers to those who are 'baptized for the dead' in 1 Corinthians 15? What are some of the views on this, and what does this passage really mean?

Baptized for the Dead?

The unforgivable sin has struck terror in the hearts of thousands. What is this sin? Is it really unforgivable? And what should we know about it?

What is the Unforgivable Sin?

A mysterious prophet shows up in 1 Kings 13, delivers a dire prophecy, then heads home. By the end of the story, he is lying dead on the side of the road. What does this bizarre story teach New Testament believers?

A Mysterious Prophet
