Since the thief on the cross couldn't be baptized in water, according to your way of thinking, he will be they only one with Jesus that still has his sins; or do you think that Jesus made a mistake when he said that the thief would be with him? Either you are right or Jesus was right, if Jesus was right then you are wrong in your thinking. Guess who I'm going to believe? CDBJ | ||||||

With that comment it is clear you don't understand the true meaning of baptism. Baptism is:"being buried with him (Christ) in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead." Col. 2:12 When was the new covenant established? When was the curtain ripped in two? "Or don't you know that all of us who are baptized into Jesus are baptized into his DEATH?" The thief wasn't baptized because A: The covenent hadn't been established yet, because Jesus hadn't died. B: Jesus "has authority on earth to forgive sins..." Mark 2:10 If we don't agree on this subject, I know that I'll never convince you. Study the subject out for yourself. If you come to a change of mind, let me know. Maybe I'll catch you on another thread in the forum. Merry Christmas, Kin |

Dear Kin, thank you for your evaluation as to what I know about baptism. The verse in Question and the main topic of this thread is I Corinthians 12:13 and has nothing at all to do with water. It is the indicative mood, aorist tense, passive voice, 1st. person of the verb, in the Koine Greek, EBAPTISTHEMEN and it is something, according to the passive voice, that we receive, not something we do; it is a reference to the baptism of the Holy Spirit which every believer receives at the point of salvation. Abraham wasn't under the New Covenant either, yet the thief on the cross and I were saved the same was he was. It is like you said though I will study some more, and maybe you can straighten me out later on another thread. Berakah, CDBJ |

Sometimes when it gets difficult to interpret and understand the meaning behind a concept (such as baptism or the Lord's supper), scholars will look to the early church fathers to reference their discussions on a particular subject. Perhaps we should try this... | ||||||
