Edmund Schlink (Lutheran) on 1 Corinthians 15:29

  

. . . Paul is probably not thinking of a vicarious Baptism for deceased Christians but rather a submission to Baptism on the part of non-Christians who hoped to achieve fellowship with deceased Christians in this way. (Edmund Schlink, The Doctrine of Baptism [trans. Herbert J. A. Bouman; Sant Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1972], 217 n. 83)
