***I never said there was different baptisms. Please show me where I said that. There is one baptism, and that is the water baptism of someone who believes the Word of God, repents of their sins, confesses Christ as the Son of God, and is baptized for the remission of their sins.***

Look, if there is only one baptism and one gospel, then why are you obsessed with the distinction between Old Covenant & New Covenant and why would it matter to the thief on the cross who never got a chance at that water baptism?

Christian.

Because people try to bring up things that happened before the New Covenant took effect and make them applicable today, which they are not. The water baptism that applies to the New Testament church, which is the church of today, was not in effect until Christ died on the cross and rose on the 3rd day. The thief on the cross argument against baptism in the church today is a baseless argument.
