We know that just the fact we have a physical body means we are on the right tract. We didn't fall with Satan. There are times when even the nicest most spiritual person can be a "tare" but with true repentance becomes the "wheat" again. For me the question I asked myself is, what have I done to help my child, my husband, my neighbor and most of all myself, remain in the "WHEAT" shelf today :)

Eh since Baptisms for the dead were practiced through the original church up through about 400 a.d. I believe Paul was speaking of literal baptisms for the dead. Not necessarily a latter-day saint thing... I just googled and bing'd the history of baptisms for the dead, ignored all the useless forum talk and just looked for documentary information ... guess everyone can have opinions on what Paul thought or meant ... but, I'd rather be safe than sorry ... if it's not real then... well -- no harm done ... if it is real, a lot of good done.

There is no prophet based mention of why these substances were given to us to avoid. I just simply ask myself, does it have coffee in it? Does it have tea from the tea plant in it? In this case, green tea is still tea ... as for me and my house ... we don't ask questions if our Father says "No" we just do what we're told :)
