I fail to see your point. The salvation of the thief on the cross does not mitigate Christ's explicit claim in John 3 that "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he can not enter into the Kingdom of God."

It was physically impossible for the thief to be baptized with water in the condition in which he came to faith. But we should not use this case as some kind of nullification of Christ's claim that baptism is necessary for salvation. (This is why the Fathers taught that baptism through blood and baptism through desire were possible when baptism with water was not possible.)

Born again is a spiritual transformation. Let me put to you in simplicity.
If there is a man dying in the desert and he repents his sins to Christ he will be forgiven ,WATER OR NOT!
