D.A. Carson (Reformed Baptist) on 1 Corinthians 15:29

 

If the practice existed at all, it may have been tied to a few people or special cases for example, when a relative died after trusting the gospel but before being baptized. We really do not know. If it were something like that, one could understand why Paul does not make a federal case of it. (D. A. Carson, "Directions: Did Paul Baptize for the Dead?" Christianity Today, August 10, 1998)
