***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.***

So, how then did the thief have his sin washed away if there is only one baptism for the remission of sin?

And, if there is a difference between the New and Old Covenant, that difference aparently has no bearing on anything. You are the one who told me that there is only one gospel and one baptism.

Christian.

I already answered these questions several times. Either you are ignoring my answers, or you are just trying to mess with me. I will say this one last time. Please pay attention this time. The thief on the cross was not under the same covenant that you and I are under, so how he was saved has no bearing on today. Simple enough for you? The one Gospel and one baptism are under the New covenant, so they dont apply to the old covenant, since that was done away with at the cross. Get it?
