::It's basically the difference between Roman Catholic and Protestant; Protestants say it takes the conscious will of the believer; Catholics say it doesn't. In the Mormon faith they practice intercessionary baptism for the dead, which isn't far removed from infant baptism.

:::The resemblance is only superficial. See the article [[fallacy of analogy]]. The differences between Catholic and Mormon theology are profound, not to mention the fact that Catholicism is [[monotheistic]] and the Mormon faith posits a multiplicity of separately distinct god-beings comparable to the doctrine of [[Cosmic Humanism]]. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 15:59, 7 October 2019 (EDT)
