1 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | TOFT | 50777 | ||
Christ forgave the thief under the OLD law...we are under the NEW law now...Jesus' NEW testament hadn't begun until He had died...because with a new testament there is a nessecity of the death of a Testator, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:16-22). We CANNOT apply the thief on the cross on the basis of salvation. He was forgiven under the OLD law, not the NEW. The thief on the cross...is a good example of humbleness and Jesus' power on earth to forgive. But it doesn't apply to us, because Christ is NOT on the earth and His NEW law is in effect. Hope that helps to explain. Please read the following site for more details: http://www.tftw.org/Tracts/saved_thief.html Through HIM, TOFT |

No one was EVER forgiven by ANY law, TOFT: "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified." --Galatians 2:16 "Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law." --Galatians 3:21 The Covenant between God and Israel did not add any conditions to salvation (Galatians 3:17), and neither did the covenant that God in Christ established with the church. Salvation has always been by God's grace alone through faith alone in God's redemption (Christ) alone. --Joe! |
