THE CURRENT TEACHING OF THE MORMON CHURCH:
"The living are thus authorized, under prescribed conditions, to act for the dead, and the fathers in the spirit world look to the children in the flesh to perform for them the works which they were unable to attend to while in the body...Knowledge that is needful concerning the spiritual sphere will come through an appointed channel and in the appointed place. The temple where the ordinances can be administered for the dead, is the place to hear from the dead." MORMON DOCTRINE, 1888, pgs.40,41 Charles W. Penrose
