The Thief on the Cross = Saved Through Faith ALONE?! 

Amen 🥰

@@mariamartins5796 Galatians 5: 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

that is calvinism and is not found in any form in the Bible

There's no such thing as alone written on the bible. Grace ALONE? Faith ALONE?

@@nocomment3866 The word bible is also not found in the bible😅🔥, what is the issue...?

Amen

@@mariamartins5796 you wont make it. You need to trust Jesus to save you, no one else, nothing else, and definitely not your life savings of filthy rags.

​@@carlcasey4177 You won't make it. That's the same thing I was told by those who got the vaccine 4 yrs ago. They said if I didn't get the vaccine I wouldn't make it. It's obvious I did make it.

@@WC3isBetterThanReforged you wont make it too.

It’s the sole condition compatible with God’s unmerited grace.

@@OnoDiamante amen!

AAAAA MMMM EEEEEEE NNNN

I would compare those Christians who pride themselves with works to people who add a few cents to the price they pay for something and then go "keep the change".(lol) I really do think its more detrimental than it is good for them.

Yes! Many are putting the cart before the horse.

Amen. Romans 4:4-5 KJV 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

No, the thief on the cross was not baptized. That’s correct. However this does not verify the claim you don’t have to be baptized.🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ 1. While Jesus was on earth he had power to forgive sin. Matt 9:6! So he could just forgive you and you could go to heaven. 2. The great commission for baptism was not enforced until after the resurrection. Matt 28:19! So no this does not in any way back up this idea of not being baptized. True belief requires action. If you believe what Jesus says you will do what he says. Our modern day meaning of belief is not what biblical belief is. John 14: 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. James 1: 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. DONT DECEIVE YOURSELVES.🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

@@revamp6612 Having belief in OSAS does not mean a person will not or does not do good works or get baptised. It just means that salvation is not dependant upon those good works or water baptism. I do not see OSAS as a free licence to sin. I now know for certain that I am saved because I believe and trust on Jesus Christ. This has truly set me free! The works I do are all down to the Spirit that resides in me and ALL glory goes to God. I no longer rely upon my sinful flesh, that constantly lets me down and brings guilt and condemnation. Jesus’ sacrifice has made me righteous in the eyes of God and justified me. A free gift that I received for believing on Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. He is the son of God and His words and promises are enough for me.

@@debbiewareing1178 the fact that Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners, tells me it’s not our works that save us. We did absolutely nothing to earn that. Yet he died for us anyway. Our good deeds didn’t make him die. Yet our bad deeds can cost us our salvation. Sin leads to destruction. Tell me have you read Galatians? Who was Paul writing too?

Fuego you preach the same beautiful message, God bless you brother.

No it’s not, actually. It shows a lack of study. The thief on the cross was while Jesus was on earth Jesus had power to forgive sin. Matt 9:6. The thief on the cross was before the great commission. Matt 28:19. There is also the question. Was the thief already baptized? However to me that question is irrelevant due to the two points above. So ask yourself can any man forbid water??? Acts 10: 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

@_ChristIsTheTruth here is what the word says. Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Think about that. Are you standing in faith high minded??? Keep in mind Paul was writing to the Church of Rome, to people who were already saved.🤔🤔🤔 “”””take heed lest he also spare not thee.””””

​​@@revamp6612 No he wasn't John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. The need to be Born Again was Already There, Jesus spoke to nicodemus on that Before the thief died... He told them afterward in Matthew 28, but it was already there. No way around the thief on the cross, saved by Faith Alone

​@@revamp6612 as for Acts 10 Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, >which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?< "WHICH have >received< the Holy Ghost as well as we?" see how they had "received the Holy Ghost" already The Water baptism came after, but they already had the Holy Ghost Remember what JESUS baptises us with Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: >he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire

Yea but you can also argue by that logic that he definitely didn't do any works because he had no time to proving that works are not a requirement

@@bigal98761 pls explain?

He believed the pond ? Whats the pond ?

He repented of his unbelief and believed God

It can't mean to turn from sin God himself repented it's like calling God a sinner which is impossible because he never sinned

Yes and he was willing to listen to what God was teaching him.

great point

I’m no one’s pastor, brother.

Don't you host a service in prison each week? 🤔✝️🤔

@@OnoDiamante okay my brother then…

@@MakeRoomForGod I preach in the prison weekly, but I’m not a pastor.

AMEN. Thank you

It also says IF Abraham were justified by works he has the glory but NOT before GOD that's what James was saying your faith without works are dead in the sight of man not God

Yes. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 No, this is a case of progressive revelation.

@@OnoDiamante Absolutely, today we are saved by the gospel. I agree we have to have faith to be saved, 100%. The following is how I suggest we better understand what that faith looks like. You say "the *only thing* the thief could do to be saved is the *only thing* we must do to be saved". How we are saved today cannot and should not be compared to the thief. Today we are saved by the gospel. The thief did not hear the gospel and therefore could not obey the gospel. Therefore, his example doesn't apply to us. To understand how we today are saved by the hearing and obeying of the gospel, wouldn't it be wise to understand the conversions of those who heard and obeyed the gospel? God has seen fit to give us multiple examples. You pulled one verse from one of the later conversions to prove your point. If what you say is true, then you should be able to prove your point starting with the great commission, (where Jesus sends out the apostles out to proclaim the gospel and make disciples,) and then the conversions that follow.

@@patricj951 his free gift is Jesus Christ dieing for all of our sins not for eternal life that's based on if u obey the holy spirit it's called the 2ed death Jesus has saved us from the first one the 2ed death is for disobedience children God bless get away from youtubers and read the word of God God Bless

If they initially trusted in Christ alone. Many genuine believers are led astray doctrinally concerning their security in Christ due to a lack of growth and false teaching.

@@OnoDiamantestop lying to these people to make them feel good. The thief was before the resurrection. Jesus commanded baptism after his resurrection. Matt 28:19. Also Jesus while was on earth had power to forgive sin. Matt 9:6 After his resurrection this changed. I’m going to ask you, can any man forbid water??? Acts 10:47-48 has that answer. Now please stop leading people astray.

What bizzare statements?

Your statement is bizarre for sure.

@@OnoDiamante it is an interesting topic regarding water baptism...i do believe that the blood of Jesus washes our sins...not water...however...how do we explain why then there were Jews and Gentiles being water baptised...?what is the purpose of them being water baptised...?

@@morghe321 the bizarre view is why the thief was saved without water baptism but yet in the book of Acts Jews...Semaritians and Gentiles were water baptised...?many claimed it is for salvation...

Remember, this is BEFORE the cross. 1 Corinthians 15 hadn't applied yet. That's why he said, "Go watch the video if you want to know how to saved.

Oh ok, so all the Old Testament saints were made righteous by faith alone? Then immediately after Christ’s ascension an extra condition of water baptism was added on? Funny how you’ll appeal to John 3:5 to teach baptismal regeneration when that was prior to the Lord’s death. Jesus must have been telling Nicodemus about a future necessity when He said “ye MUST be born again…after I ascend”. Ridiculous.

@@OnoDiamante Please elaborate on what point you are attempting to make. You lost me on that one??🤔🤷🏽‍♂️➡️ (“So all the Old Testament saints were made righteous by faith alone?” ) When did I appeal to John 3:5??? But in response to that. What water baptism was Jesus referring too, in John 3:5? How do you know the thief wasn’t already baptized? It’s actually ridiculous that you automatically think he wasn’t, yet neither me or you know if he was or wasn’t. The fact that Jesus could just forgive sin on earth Matt 9:6 is enough to get anyone to heaven.apparently he was teaching Nicodemus something new for the future since Nicodemus had no clue what Jesus was talking about.🤦🏽‍♂️ John 3:4. How do you suppose the apostle Paul taught baptism as the death of Christ and the infilling of the Spirit as the resurrection. Genuinely Dwell on that for a bit. It’s ridiculous that your nerves are struck so easily when you are challenged in the word of God. So answer this please. CAN ANY MAN FORBID WATER??? Aren’t we supposed to baptize all nations???

@@revamp6612 The point is that your position necessitates various plans of salvation. How were Old Testament saints made righteous? See Romans 4. John 3:5 isn’t referring to water baptism at all, it’s referring to the new birth by faith alone (John 3:16-18, John 1:12, Galatians 3:26, 1 John 5:1). So your assertion is that the thief could have been baptized prior to coming to faith on the cross and therefore that’s valid? I thought you had to believe on Christ first to be baptized? (Acts 8). Also, you haven’t struck any nerve. These are the same old arguments I’ve encountered again and again.

@@OnoDiamante now you are just being led by tunnel vision.🤣😂 you are way to cocky dude, relax. Did everyone who was baptized by John believe in Jesus??? So no that does not throw out anything. I will be straightforward with you. You can play that know it all game on some one else. Your flawed idea of belief is laughable. True believers do what Jesus says. All throughout the New Testament we are told to “obey” the faith. How do you obey faith??? We are told faith without works is dead. Read Hebrews 11. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣😂 You’ll learn about true faith. You continue to flaw in your own ideas. “Faith alone” False. We are saved by grace through faith. You so stubbornly look completely over Pauls letter to the Church of Rome. “People already saved. Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Ask yourself are high minded in faith??? “take heed lest he also spare not thee.” That’s the real truth.🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤔🤔

😂🤣 Roman’s 4. Yes I’ve read it and still do. However heb 11 tells you what faith is. We are told several times in scripture to obey the faith. How do you obey the faith??? Faith with out works is dead. I have faith that if i obey Jesus and believe repent and be baptized and filled with Holy Ghost I will be saved. I believe Jesus so I do as he says. You are wrong as well “faith alone”🤣😂🤦🏽‍♂️ we are saved by grace through faith. Think about it, but read it first. James 1: 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
