Footnote

c Where funeral customs are likely to bring severe tests upon a Christian, elders can prepare baptism candidates for what may lie ahead. When meeting with these new ones to discuss questions from the book Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry, careful attention should be given to the sections “The Soul, Sin and Death” and “Interfaith.” Both of these have optional questions for discussion. Here is where elders can provide information about unscriptural funeral customs so that the baptism candidate knows what God’s Word requires of him should he be faced with such situations.
