1 | why was the thief saved without baptism? | Luke 23:43 | armond888 | 132242 | ||
Why was the thief saved without baptism...because God will have mercy and not sacrifice... when it was not possible for the thief to be Baptisted God had mercy and allowed the thief to be excused from the requirement..after all Jesus is LORD .. even of Baptism.. Matt 12:3 He said to them, Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, and those who accompanied him--[Lev. 24:9; I Sam. 21:1-6.] Matt 12:4 How he went into the house of God and ate the loaves of the showbread--which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for the men who accompanied him, but for the priests only? Matt 12:5 Or have you never read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath [breaking it] and yet are guiltless? [Num. 28:9, 10.] Matt 12:6 But I tell you, Something greater and more exalted and more majestic than the temple is here! Matt 12:7 And if you had only known what this saying means, I desire mercy [readiness to help, to spare, to forgive] rather than sacrifice and sacrificial victims, you would not have condemned the guiltless |

Good words Armond888. But, aren't you missing the point that baptism was not a requirement under the Law of Moses (under which both Jesus and the thief lived); it became a requirement under the New Testament, after Jesus died. Heb 9. 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. |

You know , that is absolutely right..Thanks , although I was thinking the reference was about the baptism of repentence , or the Baptism of John that was being done during that time during Jesus's ministry but prior to His death and resurrection, making the way for Jesus.. Matt 21:25 "The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?" And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?' 3 Mark 1:4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Matt 3:1 Now in those days John the Baptist *came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, Matt 3:2 "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt 3:3 For this is the one referred to by Isaiah the prophet when he said, "THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT!'" Matt 3:4 Now John himself had a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Matt 3:5 Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan; Matt 3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins. Matt 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matt 3:8 "Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance |
