Oh the thief on the cross argument. He was under the same dispensation as king david.
I was buried with Him in baptism as Jesus was buried after the Crosss. The thief was talking to Jesus who had the authority to forgive sins. like the adulterous woman.

Acts 19
1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
This passage supports baptism. Paul of course had an oral conversation with the LORD about what to do to be saved. The LORD told him who would tell him how to be saved. This looks like what Paul did and was told.
Paul is either correct here or he is wrong. This passage supports Acts 2:38 and many others.

I do not think that is what the Ethiopian Eunuch was thinking when he asked of Phillip: "Here is water, what hinders me from being baptised"?
Phillip established the enabling criteria by asking him a question.
AFTER the Eunuch answered by confirming that JESUS CHRIST is the SON of God....
they both went down into the water and Phillip baptised the Eunuch.
I do not believe that Phillip thought the water washed away sins.
I do not believe the Eunuch thought the water washed away sins.
I do believe they BOTH acknowledged that WATER was involved in their burial with the one who died for them.
1 John 5:8 invites us to consider the witness, to have understanding concerning: the spirit, the water, and the blood agreeing in one.

Does this mean that your sins are not washed away, gone, remitted.... until baptism? If not, what does it mean? |
Why do you equate "washed away" with "remitted?"
Matthew 26:28
Romans 3:25
Hebrews 9:22
It's His blood that remits sins. Unless someone is being very careless, there is no shedding of blood at a baptism. And where there is no shedding of blood, there is no "remission."
Also we will notice that it is by having Paul "call on the name of the Lord" that the washing takes place, not baptism ( 1 Peter 3:21).

Re: Baptism question for One-Steppers
Every person coming to Christ ought to be anxious to be baptized as it signifies a change of allegience from self to that of the Lord Jesus Christ. A visible outward action on the part of the believer.

I certainly hope the tongues originate with the unction of the Holy Spirit!
Baptism is solely an action of the believer.
