Was the thief on the cross baptized?

Don't take that as a personal attack, my question is not as rude as I think it looks... but should you ever judge a man's heart? Should we judge the intent of a man?

1 Corinthians 2:15 (King James Version)

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Well, he wasn't baptized on the cross (unless it rained and you count sprinkling as baptism) but we do not know if he had ever been baptized prior to his crucifixion or not.

Considering his past life, it's very likely he was not baptized.

Have y'all been through the tabernacle plan in relation to baptism yet? I didn't want to post something that had already been discussed.

One has to be baptized in response to the Gospel.

Now, the only place I differ with "traditional" Pentecostal understanding is in that I don't believe one must be completely submerged. I believe that pouring is sufficient.

The thief wasn't a NT Christian. Christ wasn't dead yet. The thief was a sinner under the Law crying out to Jesus, his great highpriest. Jesus, offering himself up for sacrifice, forgave him based on that sacrifice.

Amen! The pouring of the Laver as part of clensing in the tabernacle is a wonderful type of water baptism.
