My question isn't in regards to the meaning of I Corinthians 15:29, it is obvious to me that Paul is talking about the washing or preparing of a dead believer body.
I am curious though if this preparing of the body should still be practiced by believers today as a show of faith that the person will rise again? If so, what are the implications of that against the practice of cremation?
Surely God can do all things, it would be just as easy for Him to raise a cremated body as it would for Him to raise a buried one, but symbolism can be very important for young believers.
