And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead:

Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them?
