is there any truth to the stories that mormon church baptized hitler,eva braun, and other nazi war criminals?

Question

there seems to be some recorded truth to this.

Answer 1

There is no oversight to who gets done. The had a terrible problem with Jewish organizations because they would tell them that the names of people who died in the holocaust wouldn't be done any longer - but they wouldn't be able to stop it.

Here's a story about Hilary Clinton getting involved with Senator Hatch over it:

There is a genealogist who has access to all the church ordinance records on the LDS 'familysearch' database, and she has printed off the records of all the people you listed. As soon as she finds them and publicizes it, the church goes in and removes the record.



They've done Jesus, Mary, Mohammad, and many more.



Here's Jesus's record of his Mormon marriage to Mary:

Here's a newspaper story about them making Father Damien into a Mormon:

Answer 2

To avoid going into Outer Darkness for Eternity every person that ever lived will be Baptized at some point.



If the person does not accept the baptism in the next life, then they will go to Outer Darkness for eternity.



Based on Hitler's life, it is likely that He will rebel against his baptism, as would others like him will most likely do as well, and will not accept the Baptism of repentance, in the next life in the World of Spirits.



How many will reject the Baptism that is done for them is not known. But certainly some do. Generally speaking it stands to reason that the more wicked a person is the more likely that person will reject the Baptism that was done for them.



By doing this, they reject the last chance to avoid going to Outer Darkness for all eternal time. The best that such people as Hitler could hope for is to go to the lowest part of the lowest Heaven, if he were to accept his baptism.



This illustrates the massive difference between the highest Heaven, called the Celestial Heaven, and the lowest Heaven, which is called the Telestial Heaven.



Only those who repent in this life, and live the commandments of Jesus Christ zealously, will go to the Celestial Heaven. Whereas all people who murder and commit adultery and rob and participate in Secret Combination including organized crime, will at the very most, go to the lowest Heaven, after having spent time in Spirit Prison, after this mortal life is ended for them.



Therefor repent, and live the commandments of Jesus Christ, and join Jesus Christ's holy church, THE Church Of JESUS CHRIST Of Latter Day Saints, and continue to live the commandments of Jesus Christ more and more, after you have become a member yourself, and by so doing be an example of perseverance to other Latter Day Saints.



If you do not do this, you will not be allowed to go to the Celestial Heaven, anymore than Hitler will ever be allowed to go to the Celestial Heaven.



However, you might be able to go to the Terestial Heaven by God, if you are not extremely evil. That is the Heaven for those who are lukewarm, neither super bad, nor super good, but rather some where in between.





God bless.

Answer 3

sure, in keeping with the verse interior the recent testomony, a million Cor. 15: 29 29 Else what shall they do that are baptized for the ineffective, if the ineffective upward push under no circumstances? why are they then baptized for the ineffective? (King James Bible) We carry out ordinances for the ineffective, yet we do have appreciate to families needs and such. the final public of such ordinances are carried out by ability of the descendants of the deceased, and if prompt kinfolk reqests that it not be carried out, then we don't enable it. Plus, total religions and communities have made such requests and we honor those besides. If no request is made, it might desire to finally finally end up getting carried out, yet we parent organization is eternal, and the deceased constantly have the alternative of accepting or rejecting it. Plus, in case you have not got faith that we've the authority to do it, then that is empty in any case. What we do have faith is that there is a Christian doctrine that baptism is needed to salvation, so we would desire to grant it to all of God's infants. The call gathering is comprehensive from kinfolk geneology, besides as from census information. that is actual on a prety extensive scope. you will discover each and every of the web pages for it with the help of ability of googling.

Answer 4

I agree with others here who are saying temple work will be done for everyone without our trying to judge anyone. Those for whom the work is done will all have their own choice whether to accept or reject it, then God will judge as to who is eligible for the eternal blessings and who is not, or in what measure each may benefit.



For perspective, Jesus Christ paid the penalty for all of our sins, including those of war criminals. In this He did not discriminate. One result is that everyone who ever lived and died will be resurrected to immortality regardless of the choices they made. Nevertheless, that does not remove the requirement that we each repent of our own sins, which often involves a great deal of personal suffering of extreme pains of conscience, and perhaps payment of severe penalties. The scriptures also indicate that even after those who have committed particularly grievous sins (such as premeditated murder of innocent victims) have paid their penalty they will still be sent to the telestial kingdom, not the celestial or even the terrestrial kingdom. Temple ordinances pertain to the celestial kingdom, that we may dwell together as families there in the presence of God the Father and Jesus Christ. So whether temple work is being done for someone who will not be going to the celestial kingdom is not for us to worry about. We do the temple work for everyone just as Jesus gave His atoning sacrifice for everyone, but let God determine what happens on judgment day.

Answer 5

I've heard that someone did that. Doesn't matter what we do here, because it's up to God who gets to even accept or reject that baptism. I doubt that Adolf would be allowed to even get the choice. However, WE are told to baptize everyone, regardless. WE are not the judges, God is.

Answer 6

Haven't you brought this up before, JOHN? Or maybe it was another troll.



No, there's no proof that we have...or that we haven't. I don't see how it would matter, though. While we do believe in doing the work--baptism, ect.--for those who have passed on without doing it themselves, we also believe that people on the other side have to accept or reject it for themselves. I really couldn't see a mass murderer or his girlfriend/wife/whatever she was accepting Christ, can you?

Answer 7

Anything is possible, but I can't see Hitler caring about Mormonism, not Germanic enough

Answer 8

Yep. Just check their church genealogy website.

Answer 9

Probably not. I think you have to be a direct descendant to baptize for the dead.

Answer 10

They can baptize all they want, but if they died a nonbeliever it doesnt matter.

Answer 11

Yes, and they were all grinning!
