Thesis: Paul exposes inconsistency of Christian practice vs Christian belief using the Corinthians handling of the Resurrection as an example.
1. INCONSISTENCY EXPOSED (v. 29) * Baptism for the dead? * Herectics: Marcionites, Cerinthianites * Eleusis afterlife baptism practices * Pagan practices deny the Resurrection
2. PAUL AFFIRMS RESURRECTION (vs. 30-32) * Risks life for truth of Resurrection * Affirms convictions by dying to self * Paul suffered for Resurrection, not for anything in world * IMPLICATIONS: Remember the Gospel, proclaim Good News, Be heavenly-minded - changes how you live/pursue life (Christ)
