BRYNNA - What happens when someone who is unworthy enters the temple and performs baptisms for the dead or any other ordinance in the temple?
JOEL - First of all we are all sinners regardless of whether or not we can correctly answer the temple recommend questions. Noone who serves in the temple is perfect.
But even if someone violates one or more of the principles mentioned in the temple recommend questions, nothing bad happens in regards to the ordinance performed for
the deceased by that person or to anyone else in the temple on that particular day. The deceased are the ones who must be worthy and willing to accept it in the spirit world.
The sanctity of the ordinance may be violated and the participant may be held accountable to God for performing the ordinance unworthily, but the validity for the recipient is not violated.
