"The resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven" (Matt.22.30). There are all kinds of ways to reject God of the Bible and follow Satan. Mormons follow Satan by denying what He said in Matt. 22.30.

There is no baptism for the dead in the Bible. Again, this is another way to reject God's design. "Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?" (1 Cor. 15.29) Pagans were practicing baptism for the dead. Paul used that to prove the resurrection. He was not condoning baptism of the dead, but showing their practice implies resurrection. Just north of Corinth was a city named Eleusis. This was the location of a pagan religion where baptism in the sea was practiced to guarantee a good afterlife. This religion was mentioned by Homer in Hymn to Demeter 478-79 (Bible Knowledge Commentary on 1 Cor. 15.29).

There is no opportunity to have a change of mind in the after life. Being baptized dead does not change that. A person has had more than enough time in his life to choose the Lord

What are the negative consequence of baptizing for the dead? It takes away from the decision in this life and extends it to the next so you can be lazy about it. It abuses Scripture, because the Bible says don't keep track of genealogies. Thirdly, it puts the attempted power in the Mormon organization to allow a person to be saved after death by virtue of something Mormons do which is a delusional self-exaltation and is apart from God's will. Fourth, it is an attempt at the Mormon flesh to rationalize all its other heresies, for if they are baptizing for the dead and nobody else does, that in their minds justifies Satanic claims such as Jesus is the brother of the Devil, Jesus had several wives, Jesus is not the Creator of all things, the Trinity is not true, salvation is only after all you can do, Mormons always existed from eternity of the past, etc.
