How comes the awful responsibility if in relation
to our dead, if they do not be baptized they must
be damned. (I wish I had 40 days to talk) what
promises are made. what can be said if in the
grave, God dwells in eternity, and he does not
view things as we do. the greatest responsibility
lade upon us in this life is in relation to our dead Paul cannot be made perfect without us, [Hebrews 11:40] for it is

in the eternal world, and the spirits of our
friends should be searched out & saved. Any man
that has a friend in eternity can save him
if he has not commit the unpardonable sin. He
cannot be damned through all eternity. their is
a possibility for his escape in a little time. If a

and can save all rose up in rebelion against God
and was cast down. [Moses 4:1-3] Jesus Christ will save
all except the sons of perdition. [Doctrine and Covenants 76:42-43] What must
a man do to commit the unpardonable sin
they must receive the Holy Ghost have the
heavens opened unto them, & know God & then
sin against him. this is the case with many
