Subject: why was the thief saved without baptism? |
Bible Note: Since this is a highly speculative subject, it can also be mentioned that just maybe the thief WAS baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist. Of course like it's been mentioned before, these baptisms of John's didn't have the authority as given by Jesus in Matt 28. But the bottom line to this topic and question is the fact that Jesus was, is and forever will be the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Only He and God had the right to forgive sins as was cited several times in the NT. So it's just a matter of trust and belief for us, His children. I do hope this helps. God bless. Rowdy |
