This is where so many people get into trouble.... assuming things we are not told, because they are not in the Bible. We invent them. (And to think, we shame Catholics for building a religion on those sorts of assumption, calling them "Traditions.")

I should never have asked an advanced question. All the haters came in. I seem to be flypaper, and attract them.
Maybe because he was dead before they took him down? (He already said he and the other thief were there because they were criminals.)

I don't get that so much any more, but I do understand where you are coming from... God has really helped me to avoid places and discussions which are really edifying no one at all. I slip on this sometimes. Who does not? Help us dear Lord!

You can't see his faith? He had more faith than all the disciples put together. He understood what Jesus said about His kingdom not being of this world and actually believed Jesus could still take him there after they both were dead! Seems pretty obvious to me. You can't see it, huh? Oh well.

We have different ministries. God would have us be either hot or cold. I am hot, you are cold and refreshing.
People use him to Justify the "baptism " thing, there is no evidence HE was baptized, and Christ will save whom He chooses regardless of mens opinions.

Love, thats what He is thats what God is thats what this is all about. And love would not reject anyone who called.

No, all I see is you employing your imagination and wishful thinking. How can we say we go by Scripture if we make claims that are not in Scripture anywhere?
Wouldnt know what it was which upset @David Taylor , Al lI need to believe in is Christ why do men have to add so much BS.
To keep it in line with the OP:
Yes, the thief reminds me of the centurion about whose faith Jesus said what?
And then about the healed blind man who effectively rebuked the Jewish leadership... What did he say about his own healing as compared all healing in the world previously?

I understand. I didn't know either until I joined my first Christian forum site. DT knows Calvinism, but not the Bible.

What was so amazing about the thief on the cross was that he knew Jesus was about to die, and still asked Him to take him with him into His KINGDOM.
But what did the disciples say? Acts 1:6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” Thomas didn't even believe in the resurrection! And people think the thief couldn't have been baptized when it was so obvious that he had hung onto every word out of Jesus' mouth during His ministry!
